The Beta Viewer released today as 3.3.4 is actually the latest 3.3.5 dev release - so again confusing.

There were a lot of major structural changes in this release that don't seem to do much, but the most obvious changes include:

• Two new Beta themes, Orb Red and Orb Blue - see what you think of them
  
• Big reductions to the number of texture files used - so even with two new themes the filesize is smaller!
  
• Bug fix for panel_places_profile button – see FIRE-6475
• Bug fix for alignment of history in nearby chat – see STAR-35
• Remove visible background of button/slider on World Map in custom themes
• Improvements to Nearby Chat and darker background to chat history in darker themes
• Lots of other texture fixes/minor changes

can i use that for the official 3.3.4 that came out yesterday?

Yes - the Beta release always works for the full Viewer now as LL's processes mean that it has to have been running in Beta before full release. I was a bit slow in putting it up in the Second Life Wiki StarLight page as I am travelling at the moment and hadn't spotted that the Second Life Wiki had been rolled back (because of the ongoing Kira Komarov issue) and it removed my changes and many others.

does this still work with the new 3.3.4.264214?

Hitomi Tiponi

Yes - the only changes LL have made to the viewer are two minor bug fixes. Maybe LL is just logging a new creation date for this viewer (which was 6 weeks old) because Viewer 3.4 may be a while before it is properly ready for official release.

Lance Corrimal

amen to that.
