Genesis Release 1.4.706

 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.

Download: Genesis Viewer, Forth Release 1.4.706

Changes since Release: 1.3.662

New:

- Group Chat History.  See group chat whilst you were offline, by opening the group chat.  Also shows the last hour if a group chat opens on a new message.  Older messages show in italic.  See Notes below.

- Added ability to have digital read out for FPS at the top or bottom right of the screen.  Prefs > Genesis > Adv. Features.

- A faster cache poke when initialising the viewer.

- Drag and Drop open IM floaters, reworked.

Fixes:

- Fixed rare cases of worn items moving to Lost and Found on login.

- Fixed login from command line, to launch the viewer from a command prompt and login.

- Fixed double message being received when group IM history opens on its own.

- Fixed sometimes an open IM tab needs to be pressed twice to bring it to focus/foreground.

- Fixed profile floater jumble on Spanish language.

Changes:

- Removed "please wait" on group chats when there is no need to wait!

- For bug a squashing introduced round-robin log files.  Genesis log will now keep the 5 latest log files and dispose of them first in, first out.   Format is: Genesis-yyyy-mm-day-session_starting_time.log

- Program Markers reflect Genesis as program name

- Change default value for CulTimeoutLowSpeedTime from 30 to 100 to help with older or not standard sample rate streams,  (but for optimum performance use 56k or 128k when possible).

- Changed default (on initial install) for online friends pop-up chiclet from True to False (hooray!).

- Tied in FPS to the cancel button which was missing on Nightly 700.

- BroadcastViewerEffects particle beams (when selecting, inspecting, editing) defaults to off on initial install.  Better for privacy.

Notes:

In an effort to get this release to you as quickly as possible due to the inconvenience of the Lost & Found server bug, we have held back a couple of fixes for testing and will get these done during the week for the Nightly build users.   They are:

We are aware that the search floater cannot be resized on 1024 x 768 displays and will fix this in the Nightly builds shortly.

Aware that FPS will show in snapshots unless you disable FPS digital readouts first.

Finally.. Group IM Message history is liable to change due to a bug Linden Lab found in their code.  We will adjust ours accordingly when they apply the new routines.
