It is thanks to their testing that we can find and fix issues quickly. Those on the Nightly build will always get features and fixes quicker than the Releases. This release build is identical to the Nightly build of the same number.</span></p><p>A new Genesis Viewer Release.</p><p>Version 1.2.594</p><p>This release is primarily to address the Chromium updates that bring the viewer in parity with Second Life Viewer's media abilities for shared streamed content, in particular, the rise in the popularity of HiVid TV.</p><p>HiVid TV media is now supported. </p><p>We added a cache system for Contact Sets to make them respond faster.</p><p>The Active Speaker list can now be paused, reactivated and refreshed.</p><p>The GenxProfileFloater is a new experimental profile floater that you can opt in and out of by enabling it in Debug. When fully implemented it will become an option in Preferences, but already, you can upload a profile picture without incurring any upload fees.</p><p>Added some hover text help for some ambiguous settings in Preferences.</p><p>Added an additional 7 skins for the User Interface. You now have a choice of 11. Check out 'Second Love' if you like extra colourful, or 'Snow White', if you want a Wintery theme.</p><p>Developers and Support team can now be identified by "Genesis Viewer Team" appearing in their profile.</p><p>The Script editor now uses a mono space font.</p><p>A group invitation is offered (once) to the account logging in on the first session of a new install.</p><p>Click "Download Release" from <a href="https://genesisviewer.org">https://genesisviewer.org</a></p><p><span style="color: #01ffff;">A reminder: If you are currently on the nightly builds, please stay on them to get the very latest features before they go to the release version.</span></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Torric

Their avatar tag will also show in the colour you choose.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">June / July 2022<br />- Went through all debug settings to change defaults to the 20th century and not treat everyone as if they have a 20 year old computer! If your computer is this side of 10 years old, most of the debugs should now be correct.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">- Cleaned up/Removed some horrible old code we inherited from Snowglobe.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">- Maximum Av default is 16. When set much lower, the constant swapping in and out of imposters degrades frame rate more than that drawing in avatars properly.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">- BackgroundYieldTime. check this out, its how much time you permit to processing when the viewer is out of focus (in the background). A lower value will significantly speed up your PC when the viewer is not in focus. This is now set to 10 (percent) but if you run 2 screens and want the viewer to be smoother (ie more frame updates) out of focus, adjust this upwards, between 25 and 40.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">- Inworld help group has a tick box, so when using the group chat, it can be set to display the version you are on.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">- New Feature: From Prefs > Genesis > Tags Colors you can set the viewer to automatically color other users for whom you have written profile notes on. This is a great lazy option for people who do not want or do not need to create contact sets.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">- We're all grown ups, changed initial defaults to show mature and adult places and events. You can always turn this off it if bothers you.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">- Render Volume LOD default changes from 20 year old computer 1.125 to 10 year old computer 2.50.<br />If your PC was made this century, suggest you set it to around 3.50 to enjoy better quality meshes.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">- Removed lots of gunk relating to OpenSim to optimize code for Second Life.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">- All roads lead to roam. With so many viewers you need to be in a specific floater to perform moderation/zoom etc tasks. With Genesis, the same context menus open if you right click the user name, whether it is in Sound Explorer, Radar, Chat etc etc. Much easier!<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">- Zoom on user from all menus.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">- Prefs > Network. Try ticking "Unlimited Bandwidth" and see how you get on with it. We cannot see any evidence to support the need to throttle your connection to SL, unless you are on shared or slow internet. SL servers are throttled their end anyway, so no need to do it your end too. Check CTL+Shift+1 and see if you are dropping packets. If you are, then you may need to set the bandwidths manually. Start at 5k and work your way down.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">- Classic Skin. Genesis will in time have its own unique skin in addition to the default original 1.23 skin. However, we cannot make this new skin until we finishing improving and adding features.. so for now enjoy the classic skin.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">- Opened in-world group and also a discord group for those who would like to get on board and help us with feedback from the user perspective.<br /><br /><br /><b>ABOUT</b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />Blazingly Fast, Low Memory Footprint, Feature Packed, High Performance, Legacy Viewer, Perfect for Laptops.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Genesis is a feature packed Windows based 1.23 viewer for Second Life.<br />It offers feature rich functionality, never seen before in other legacy viewers, whilst preserving lightening speed and low memory footprint, making this viewer the perfect solution for laptops.<br />This viewer is currently in Beta phase and we are eager for your help in testing its reliability and functionality and feeding back to the group.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">The current flavour is EVE.
