New Test Viewer: 1.22 RC6 Now Available

The sixth iteration of the Viewer 1.22 Release Candidate (RC6) has been released. Please help us to identify any new bugs before it becomes an official download for Second Life.

If you have been using the fifth Release Candidate (RC5), you will now be required to update to RC6, which includes the latest bug fixes. Please keep in mind that participation in the viewer Release Candidate cycle is completely optional. This viewer may be installed along side the official 1.21 viewer.

RC6 includes fixes for several raycasting issues, a fix for VWR-7331 (llMapDestination can’t TP to Skybox over 1000 meters, which was made possible in 1.20), and a partial fix for VWR-8503 (Meta-Issue: Textures loading worse in 1.21/1.22). This Release Candidate also includes a number of stability fixes, which make this viewer the most stable release yet. For a complete list of issues resolved, please see the release notes:

While we’ve made many improvements, we still need your help to find crash cases and final feedback as we prepare to release the official 1.22 viewer - very soon! Please download the Release Candidate here and start experimenting:
