January 8, 2023 (612)

- Only change is the insertion of a hover tip, located in Prefs > Input > Input & Movement:  WASD 

It reads:  "With WASD disabled, typing letters open the bottom chat bar.  For those of you who do not use the bottom chat bar, leaves WASD enabled. You can still use arrow keys to move.

We believe that we have made WASD as straight forward as we can, but recognise that some users will still not understand this and will need assistance from those of you who do. Thank you for helping.

January 7, 2023 (611)

- Fixed: Preference option "Input and Camera" is now "Input".


January 7, 2023 (610)

Change to Preferences UI

A major stumbling block for new users wanting to use WASD is in finding the badly phrased, strangely located option in Preferences > Text, which pertains to movement.

- Change to Preferences > Input & Camera, now under the umbrella of "Input".  Inside this setting are two tabs:  Input/Movement and Camera Options.  This should greatly simplify enabling WASD for movement instead of keyboard arrow keys.

Note: with WASD disabled, typing opens the bottom chat bar.  For those of you who do not use the bottom chat bar, leave WASD enabled, and you can still use the keyboard arrow keys to move.



January 4, 2023 (606)

- Added alphabetical sorting for contact sets.

- Web Search was deprecated and is now removed from UI with debug set false.

- Friendship requests from muted should not be displayed. 


January 2, 2023 (600)

- Added search ability to Teleport history.

- Fixed (inherited): Using Ctrl-x to cut an item from inventory in a new inventory window caused a viewer crash.

- Cut items no longer go to trash.


 December 18, 2022  (596)

- Camera Constraint set to false by default.

- Internal setting to create next round of viewer updates.
