Dayturn 2.8.12 for macOS is an update with only one update: It adds the Meshoptimizer from the recent SecondLife 6.6.0 performance viewer to replace the very dated GLOD used to generate LODs.
Meshoptimizer generates better quality LODs, but also gives you different methods for generating LODs depending on your needs. Consulting the SL viewer documentation, forums and own experimentation is encouraged.
The details of all changes can as always be found in the commit log.
The viewer is signed with an Apple Developer ID, but not notarized meaning you will in some cases have to explicitly open the viewer on first run by right clicking the viewer and selecting Open.
It has been tested on both Intel and Apple Silicon hardware on macOS 11.6.4 (Big Sur) and macOS 12.4 (Monterey). On Apple Silicon, it runs under Rosetta 2 translation.
Most likely this will be the last update of the 2.x versions before the release of Dayturn 3.0 (patience)
