June 25th, 2023 (863)

- Investigating: TP disconnect (#323) To understand why the simulator sometimes assumes you have left the region and closes the connection before the teleport-out has completed. Added temporary additional TP tunnel info to genesis.log to help us track causes of this issue when users share their log files with us.
June 22nd, 2023 (861)

June 15th, 2023 (848)
- Reverted an original font to better supports more Extended High ASCII (Unicode) characters than its predecessor. Less 'square blocks' in elaborate display names (for those who have not already installed Korean and Chinese language packs).
- Fixed "powered by" font issue.
- Changed, Prefs: Genesis: Font Size to use multiples of 8 on slider and set upper and lower limits to prevent an unusually large or small values from messing up the display.

June 10th, 2023 (842)
- Added ability to change font in floater size for Chat, Profiles, Search etc). Prefs > Genesis > Adv. Features. Use the slider to adjust between 88, 96, 104 (default), 112, 120. Too large a number will cause certain floaters to invoke tabs, for example "notes" tab on profiles will scroll if you choose a very large value for the font size, but mileage will vary considerably depending on the users screen resolution.
June 2nd, 2023 (836)
- Fixed text in dialog boxes for very long text. Thought fixed in 828. Redone.
- Reworked edit floater and fixed Land Impact truncating to 2 digits.
- Fixed: Holes in terrain at the bottom of the sea. Due to some bizarre inherited hard-coded region configuration.
- Increased password length maximum from 12 to 16 characters (the maximum SL permits). The 12 character limit was an old OpenSim limit we had overlooked. Since Genesis does not support OS, the length can now be extended to 16.

May 4th, 2023 (808)
- Added tool-tip to hit-boxes so we don't forget the shortcut key we created for it.
- Moved "stop anims" icon on the toolbar. Next to the music slider was not good!
- Began reworking on Area Search.
- Development Team has opted to use American English for the viewer, Z's instead of S's and no U's in things like colour. Release notes will probably continue in English English. This is because the demographic for SL is heavily weighted in USA so we're going to use Englishification, lest you think we can't spell.
April 22nd, 2023 (804)
- Added a stop animation button to UI next to media play/pause
