Dayturn SL preview for macOS Build 50576

This build adds functionality from the latest version 6.6.9 Second Life Viewer adding an updated Debug Settings interface, removal of buttons to wear the content of a delivery box directly to stop avatars from “accidentally” ending up half naked, added functionality to add and remove outfit items directly in the Outfit Worn tabs, and turn many search fields yellow in case you forgot you left some text there.

In addition there are the useful handful of bug fixes and optimizations.

This build adds better functionality for handling inventory items and folders with links in addition to bringing back the option to show the outline of the physics of an in-world mesh in the build floater. In addition there is a handful of bug fixes and performance updates and year strings have been updated to 2023.

The renderer should now recognize the M2 for VRAM sizing on machines with this processor.

This build has also received better testing on macOS Ventura (13.2) and it should be clear by now that the vsync functionality that was added from the Linden SecondLife viewer no longer works for any viewer due to underlying changes to macOS that cannot easily be fixed on the viewer's current code base. Reverting to the old frame limiter might be the work-around for now, but needs more investigation.

This build is just optimizations and bug fixes. – That's it.

On first run the media plugin might crash on startup. Restart the viewer and it should be good.

This build has a fix for a condition that would crash the viewer when opening a notecard inside an object/prim, in addition to optimizations that gave us a couple FPS extra.

This build also has all the relevant changes and fixes from the latest LL version 6.6.8 Secondlife Viewer

The viewer is rebuilt with the latest Xcode 14.2

This build adds a fix from the SL 6.6.7 version to resolve an issue that arose when people logging in with MFA and accepted the new SL TOS, the user would be logged in insecurely.

The login procedure for MFA users when accepting the new TOS is:
Enter an MFA code, accept the TOS. You will then be prompted to enter an MFA code again. Do so, and the viewer will log in securely.

In addition this build contains further optimizations, bug fixes from the SL 6.6.5 viewer and new functionality for zoom level of the main map.

This version has been rebuilt with the latest Xcode 14.1 for best compatibility with recent Apple hardware.

This build adds more optimizations, including changes to the audio system from the SL 6.6.5 version viewer that prevents frame stalls. From the same version are updates to the mesh uploader, that also allows upload of multi-part meshes with corresponding physics per sub mesh.

Audio device selection has been reverted to previous Dayturn versions.

This build has been rebuilt with Xcode 14 (was Xcode 13.5.1) for better compatibility with the latest macOS updates and Apple hardware.

It also adds optimizations and adjustments to functionality and menus. In addition the majority of the fixes and functionality changes in SL release viewer 6.6.3 has been added, including the ability to show a ground plane when uploading a rigged character.

This build is a brush up of some functionality and menu items lost in the previous build, in addition to adding back some of the snappiness lost.

I find this build performs better on Intel based Macs compared to any previous builds.

Lots of mechanics going on in this update:

• Build scripts largely moved from python 2.7 to python 3
• The new profile floater introduced in LL SecondLife viewer 6.6.3 has been added
• All the changes from the LL secondLife 6.0 performance viewer has been added

The changes from the performance viewer means the viewer is not quite as snappy as it was before in many scenes, but it performs quite a lot better when there are many avatars in the scene.

Not all features are added back because of underlying changes from the performance viewer code. There is also yet a number of tricks up the sleve to add back some of the snappiness lost.

I am still not convinced the new profile floater is a step forward, so it might be reverted at some stage...
