Genesis Change log R11
Saturday, March 29, 2025
Genesis Release 1.10.1089
Genesis Release 1.10.1089
This release brings the viewer in parity with the Nightly Builds.
NEW
 |
| WebRTC controls |
- WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communications) is now fully implemented. This version of Genesis supports both WebRTC and the deprecated Vivox system. Future releases will remove Vivox making the viewer run even better!
- New Feature: Ability to restrict upload textures to 1024 (10L$) so that a texture of any size will resize to a maximum of 1024, via the checkbox on the upload floater. Otherwise textures beyond 1024 and up to 2048 (40L$) will be supported when left unchecked. (Default is unchecked, ie 2048 uploads enabled).
- Added, calculation for upload fee depends on image resolution.
- Added the new library commands needed for Combat 2.0 to LSL. [Fidget].
- User Interface for WebRTC voice controls [Shep]
FIXES
- Fixed artefacts (jagged edges) on uploaded images.
- Updated Openjpeg to 2.5.2 to fix errors in partially decoding jpeg 2000 images.
This is a test build and mileage will vary until finely tuned. Users may experience problems with old skins.
- Fixed Voice visualiser for WebRTC (Voice dot).
- VLC for video updated to 3.0.16
- User Interface: Font scaling overhaul [Fidget]
- Fixed. Some of our LSL script library was out of date. [Fidget].
- Added debug: VoiceNoiseSuppressionLevel (Default 4). 0 is off, no noise cancelling, 4 is maximum noise cancelling.
Users who already have background noise cancelling microphones or software, may wish to disable this to prevent two 'systems' fighting it out, resulting in the first word they speak being clipped. Those with standard setups will benefit from leaving this setting enabled.
The value from 1 to 4 dictates how aggressive the suppression should be. You need to find your own sweet spot. Everyone's microphone and room acoustics differ.

September 3rd, 2024 (1040) WebRTC early testing.
- WebRTC first implementation with caveats:
- Voice indicator in SL is currently always red.
- Person to Person private calling is not yet supported.
- NonFriendsAttenuation is yet to be implemented.
The viewer should correctly detect and switch from Vivox to WebRTC. Additionally the new voice system is handled internally meaning no more external routines handled by SLVoice.exe once WebRTC goes live.
You can test WebRTC at regions, "WebRTC Voice 1" (through 4)
- Fixed Autobuild again.
September 2nd, 2024 (internal)
- Initial WebRTC voice system to replace Vivox voice services, successfully tested in Genesis. Now testing coexistence of both services.

WebRTC voice testing in Genesis Gateway
As part of the testing for the forthcoming big changeover from Vivox Voice services to WebRTC, London City Genesis Gateway region supports WebRTC beta deployment from Linden Lab.
Residents are encouraged to test their voice out with friends, in our Gateway region and check that their viewer is WebRTC compliant.
Genesis Viewer Nightly builds already support WebRTC.
Hop over to London City Gateway and check your viewer http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/London%20City%20Gateway/91/13/23
Known issues on the LL end that they need to fix:
- Mute/Change gain of others doesn't work
- Inconsistent behaviors for P2P/Group/Ad hoc calls between WebRTC <> Vivox regions
- Voice dot falsely appears if voice is disabled at login
- Echo sometimes heard going back to public voice from parcel with private voice set
- Sometimes voice goes to headphones while other sounds go to speakers

Genesis Viewer, Release 1.9.1032
We very much hope that our current Genesis testers will continue to use the Nightly Builds. It is thanks to your testing that we can find and fix issues quickly. Those people using 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.Genesis Viewer, Release 1.9.1032 (August 2024)
Main changes since: 1.8.957
For a log of all that has transpired from the last Release, please see the Nightly build notes listed immediately below this story.
This will be the last release version that still contains the original Vivox voice system before it is replaced with WebRTC.
New:
This feature permits the users to reduce the volume of nearby avatars who they are not friends with. This makes it easier to hear your friends in busy voice places.
Open the Quick Pref for Sound (Bottom Right) and use the "Non Friends Att(enuation)" slider to reduce the volume of non-friends.
(Can also be applied in Active Speaker floater).
.jpg)
- Additional 'Contact Set' preference options.
These control how the contact sets colors are displayed for the avatar: Tag, Local/IM chat, Radar and Nearby Voice window.
Preferences: Genesis > Contact sets.
.jpg)
- Particles slider in QuickPrefs previously offered zero then 256 as its first increment. It can now be increased in 64s, i.e. 0, 64, 128, 192 etc. This is a good feature for admins who want to easily detect particle griefers without running the risk of their GPU being overtaxed.
- Added Crashpad to help diagnose issues for users wherelogging is unhelpful or non-existent. Limited to 24mb. Privacy: Please note this does not store or send information to us. To share your dump file, you have to manually email it to us. Even when you do, it does not contain any sensitive information, only details of the driver versions the program is using and information about the operating environment.
- Refinement of ability to temporarily derender assets from the pie menu ('more'option). Previously an asset was permanently blacklisted until removed from the mute menu. Temporary blacklisted objects will be cleared from the blacklist upon teleport or on the next session.
Fixes:
- Updated runtime libraries (DLL's) that had caused login issues for some users when their computer's version was older than the library the viewer was built with.
- Fixed aspect ratio in snapshot, i.e. the saved output now matches preview.
- Fixed: Material folder name (llbadfolderlookup), the code was not included in the last release.
- Inventory can now edit/save and manage Material Assets.
- Fixed info freeze about Computer and Operating environment in "About Genesis" menu.
- To fix the 'hover/flight at login' issue, the debug value for Nimble now defaults to True.
- Updated terminology for region maturity ratings to bring us in parity with all other viewers, replacing PG with General and Mature with Moderate.
- Fixed bug where the viewer forgot if you had the favourites bar enabled. It now remembers and persists to next session.

FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions and Solutions
Nightly Builds
August 24th, 2024 (1.9.1032) Release Candidate
- Preparing 1.9 Release.
- Updated members and contributors credits for 'About' floaters.
August 22nd, 2024 (1026) Release Candidate
- Potential Release Candidate as the final Vivox version before WebRTC supersedes.
August 22nd, 2024 (1025)
August 22nd, 2024 (1021)
- Updated DLLs are now included in the Genesis folder.
Out of date DLLs was causing a Quit to Desktop on login for some users. Our build environment uses a more recent DLL than some users have installed on their computers. This update to the build environment happened after version 1005 was compiled.
- Added Crashpad to help diagnose issues for users where logging is unhelpful or non-existent.
- Crashpad is configured to use no more than 24mb of disk space. Enough for approximately 12 dump reports to diagnose issues. These files are stored under the logs part of appdata/roaming/etc. It is up to the user if they want to manually share these reports or not. No data is collected by anyone automatically and dump reports are only about DLLs in use by the viewer anyway.
- New Feature: Additional 'Contact Set' preference options, to control how the contact sets are displayed in the avatar Tag, Local/IM chat, Radar and Nearby Voice window.
- Removed Builds, 1007, 1010, 1012, 1015, 1017 for failing QA
August 18th 2024 (1007)
< Investigating: Quit to desktop bug after 'loading world' message on this build for some users >
- Contact sets extended to 9 (was 3) - per Shep.
- Resolved a show stopper issue with WebRTC:
The ProvisionVoiceAccountRequest cap request gives unexpected response.
June 8th, 2024 (Internal)
- Test refs/heads/439-implement-webrtc-which-will-succeed-vivox
June 1st, 2024 (1005)
- To fix the 'hover/flight at login' issue, the debug value for Nimble now defaults to True.
May 30th, 2024 (1004 )
- Starting implementation of WebRTC in viewer, the replacement for Vivox (Voice Chat).
- Particles slider in QuickPrefs previously offered zero then 256 as its first increment. It can now be increased in 64s, i.e. 0, 64, 128, 192 etc. This is a good feature for admins who want to easily detect particle griefers without running the risk of their GPU being overtaxed.(debug value: RenderMaxPartCount)
February 27th, 2024 (Nightly 1001)
- Removed FriendsBoostLevel debug and from settings.xml. Superfluous setting for vivox friends volume boost.
February 26th, 2024 (Nightly 999)
- Reworked 'hearing voices', the ability to change the default incoming voice volume to make your friends louder than non-friends in busy places.
This now works by attenuating non-friends instead of boosting friends volume which caused distortion under certain conditions.
Related debug value: NonFriendsAttenuationLevel
You can access this setting from QuickPrefs Volume:
You can still adjust individual volumes for residents via Active Speaker or by clicking the chevrons in Local Chat box.
Fixed: Genesis 997 forgot if you had favourites bar enabled or disabled and would set to disabled. It will now remember the setting. The default setting for new install is off.
February 10th, 2024 (Nightly 997)
This feature has been reworked in Nightly 999. You only need to set the attenuation level for non-friends.
 |
of 0.5 to 0.3. I have done this, because I am about to boost the volume of my friends.. |
 |
friends by is also located in the volume panel |
To adjust individual volumes, this can be done via 'Active Speakers' option, or by
clicking the two chevrons in local chat and adjusting individual people there.
 |
| Click >> in local chat to open voice panel, click the name, adjust their volume. |
- KNOWN ISSUE: Favourites bar now defaults to off on new installation. You currently need to reactivate it by going to Prefs > Genesis > Adv. Features (Display favorites bar)
- Inherited bug fix: Inventory filters can now exclude links to objects being displayed. (Further refinement from Nightly 993).
February 3rd, 2024 (Nightly 993)
- Inherited bug fix: Inventory filter to prevent links from displaying now works.
- Fixed: Boosting friends volume beyond 1.00 can cause Vivox to drop out.
February 2nd, 2024 (Nightly 989)
- Default volume for friends on voice, can now be set at a different default level to non-friends. Located in main volume settings (bottom of main gui).
Use: Handy for busy voice places. When there are a lot of people you don't know, mashing their gums and you want to talk to your mates. It is like squelching out people on a CB :)
- Updated terminology of region maturity ratings to bring us in parity with all other viewers, replaced PG with General, and Mature with Moderate.
- Materials work continues.
This replaces 986 compiled earlier today.
January 17th, 2024 (Internal)
- PBR Base textures are fine. Metallic overlays need work. Work continues.
December 19th, 2023
- Work continues on PBR rendering but several issues exist in library code and therefore in all viewers. This is slowing us down slightly as we continue to develop our own implementation.
Problems affecting PBR:
https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/BUG-234706 [GLTF] [PBR] Performance unstable / massive performance loss
https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/BUG-234672 [GLTF] Random stuck texture causes bad performance

- Material texture picker.
- Added Save and Cancel options to floater.
- Fixed: Material folder name (llbadfolderlookup).
- Added generic streaming dummy handler.

Genesis Release
We very much hope that our current Genesis testers will continue to use the Nightly Builds. 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.
Genesis Viewer, EIGHTH Release 1.8.957
Main changes since: 1.7.880
For a log of all that has transpired from the last version to this version, please see the Nightly build notes listed immediately below this story.
New:
- Introducing Temporary Asset Blacklists, accessed from the pie menu "more option". The temporary list is cleared down upon teleport.
- Genesis now has its own Splash screen on start up, to keep you up to date with events in world and developments with Genesis Viewer.
- Introducing Multi-threaded rendering. Why limit render decoding to a single core when most computers have more than 2 cores? Faster rendering via Preferences > Genesis > Texture Management.
- Ability to render/derender "sim" water from the Quick Preferences menu. Sim water is always rendered, even if it is 100m below the region. By disabling sim water, better frame rates can now be achieved.
- Substantial rework of internal AO engine. Multiple note cards for multiple sets of overrides are now supported.
- Complete rework of Object Area Search and ability to Cam-To
Changes:
- Added "Use the legacy font" to Preferences: Genesis> Main.
When enabled Genesis will use the smaller DejaVu font that supports a much wider range of high/extended ascii characters (unicode) commonly used for display names that use arabic letters. Left unticked, Genesis will continue to use its existing clearer and larger font, which doesn't support the full unicode range.
Caveats:
Genesis is optimised for the existing font, so when switching to Deja Vu, you will most likely need to also adjust (FontsDPI) Preferences > Genesis > Adv. Features "Screen font DPI."
Apply and Save.
You need to restart the viewer when switching between fonts.
You need to restart the viewer when changing sizes of fonts.
Should you lose any windowed floaters from your screen by changing these settings, see the section called "I've accidentally dragged my chat floater off screen", in FAQs
- Nightly Beta versions will now expire on a 3 monthly cycle, to prevent potentially unfinished versions of the viewer being used for a protracted time.
- Mouselook crosshairs: Using OpenGL, the size of mouselook crosshairs can now be increased/decreased GenxCrosshairSize (factor) See Prefs: Input.
- Viewer now supports the uploading of 30 second wave files
- Estate Management tools: Increased banned agent limit from 500 to 750.
- Estate Management tools: Increased estate manager limit from 15 to 20.
Fixes:
- Fixed font issues in certain floaters.
- Don't show the favourites bar when in (M)ouselook.

EXPERIMENTAL code to test threaded decoding for texture fetching and discarding of partials.
Prefs > Genesis > Texture Management.
Genesis defaults to 1 thread and Partial texture rendering
enabled.
Your PC can run at least 1 thread per core but beyond that, you will need to find the best setting for your particular computer.
You will likely see a performance gain by unchecking "partial texture rendering", when increasing threads above 1.

Additional notes:
Yesterday having outgrown our previous server, we relocated to a new host. We are aware of an issue where MS Edge will not permit the download of the viewer. These are teething issues on our new server and we are working on them. In Edge, please mark the download as safe to proceed with it, or download using any other browser.

Migrating to a new host
[Now completed] Friday, July 28th, 2023.
Popularity comes at a cost and we have outgrown our existing hosting service.
This has manifested in our nightly builds recently being chronically slow to compile and queue's for downloads. Through Friday expect downtime on our website genesisviewer.org as we migrate to a new bionic server, better, stronger, faster and will greatly increase our capacity and speed.

New Genesis Release 1.7.880
Genesis Viewer, SEVENTH Release 1.7.880
Main improvements since: 1.6.799
Download: https://genesisviewer.org
For a log of all that has transpired from the last version to this version, please see the Nightly build notes listed immediately below this story.
New:
- Substantial rework of internal AO engine. It now supports multiple configuration settings for different AO's and will remember the last AO setting and persist upon relog.
- New snapshot floater brings Genesis inline with SLV style snapshot previews and refresh.
You can toggle between old and new style. Debug GenxSnapshorFloater = True / False
- Ability to change screen font size via a slider in Genesis > Adv. Features. Default is 104. Setting this to either 96, 104, 112 will give the equivalent of small medium and large. Mileage will vary because of the multitude of different screen sizes everyone uses.
- Stop Animations, handy one-click to stop now added to the bottom user toolbar next to media options.
- Avatar distance can now be displayed in with the avatar name, group bubble over the avatars head. Genesis > Tags: Show Avatar distance.
Changes:
- Viewer now supports the uploading of 30 second WAV files (previously 10 seconds).
- Genesis Viewer now supports long password up to 16 characters, SL grid maximum. (previously 12).
- Changed debug value to display IM in chat console (IMInChatConsole) along with local chat, to False (previously true). User should have to opt-in to see IM in with local chat (not out).
Fixes:
- Fixed font issues in certain floaters, most notably "build" so land impact and group settings no longer truncate.
- Fixed very long text truncating in blue dialog boxes.
- Fixed seeing holes in terrain caused by archaic inherited hard coded region "assumptions".
- Fixed: there should be no need to scroll Profile tabs to use "notes" when using default size screen font of 104 dpi.
- Fixed: unlimited zoom via camera constraints.

- Fixed buttons in Create/Edit object that were truncated as a result of the font change in 842.
This weekend we will be working on "applying some EEP settings to yourself make the viewer immediately crash to desktop".
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.
- Support for multiple AO set-ups. Nightly testers please help us test this to make sure we got it right! Thank you. (See here)
- Moved position of stop animations on bottom bar.
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 22nd, 2023 (830)
- New Snapshot floater is set active. Debug: GenxSnapshotFloater True by default. Set false for old styles floater
May 21st, 2023 (828)
May 20th, 2023 (826)
- Genesis now supports uploading of 30 second WAV files at 44.1 kHz.
- Laying foundations for the reworking of Area Search.
May 13th, 2023 (824)
- Tweaked Preferences menu to suit new font.
May 8th, 2023 (822)
- New Feature: Ability to show avatar distance from you in name/group hover-text.
Preferences > Genesis > Tags: Show Avatar Distance.
- New Feature, Snapshot floater rework: Ability to resize snapshot floater for larger or smaller preview. To try this, set Debug: GenxSnapshotFloater to True
- Begin Area Search rework.
- Fixed need to scroll tab profiles to "notes" using new font.
May 8th, 2023 (810)
- Replace default Roboto font with clearer Inter-Font from Google. We could all do with a bit of help seeing things.
- Begin foundation for snapshot window rework
- Begin foundation for ability to see Avatar distance from client via name tag
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
- Fixed: unlimited zoom via camera constraints.
