KKA-845 Sound Explorer - warning text doesn't follow window size Improvement KKA-847 Conversations panel, name colouring KKA-849 The Is Typing feature for IMs needs updating to preserve friend colouring The control for this is located on Preferences / Kokua / Chat Release notes - Kokua - Version Kokua 6.4.18 Bug KKA-844 allows your name to be replaced with “Me” in the compact conversation layout. KKA-845 fixes a problem when the Sound Explorer is resized KKA-847,848,849 all relate to the friends colouring. The options to control this can be found on Preferences / Colors / Chat ColorĪs usual the list of resolved issues is below, preceded by some notes on the issues. We have expanded on this by making the colour easily configurable and adding a further option to use the name tag colour (from the Contact Sets and Minimap Marks logic) to select the colour instead. One of the new features in this maintenance release is colouring of friends when their names appear in the left column of the Conversations floater as nearby people or in IM conversations. The Firestorm Viewer is the most popular on the hypergrid by a wide margin, according to today’s analysis of Hyperica server logs.This release brings Kokua to parity with LL’s 6.4.18 maintenance release (see ) More than half of the last 3,600 visitors to Hyperica used the Firestorm Viewer. Less than a third used Singularity, and CtrlAltStudio, Cool LV, and Replex were all around 3 percent each. Kokua accounted for just over 2 percent of visitors, followed by Imprudence and OnLook at around 1 percent each. These numbers are for Hyperica visitors only - many closed commercial grids use their own viewers, and those numbers wouldn’t show up in these statistics. The Firestorm viewer is currently the most popular viewer in Second Life, and it makes sense for people to continue using a viewer they like and are familiar with when they come to OpenSim. Plus, the Firestorm viewer developers have openly committed themselves to supporting OpenSim for the long term, and, last night on Metaverse Week in Review, project manager Jessica Lyon repeated that pledge. “I believe that the future of virtual worlds lies in OpenSim,” she said, at the 1:05 mark in the video below.įirestorm publishes two versions of its viewer - one specifically for Second Life, with the proprietary Havoc physic engine for pathfinding and physics mesh uploads, and the other for OpenSim. But she doesn’t advise people - including Second Life users - to use the Second Life viewer. “I recommend everyone use the OpenSim viewer,” she said. She explained that only a handful of people would ever need the specialized physics mesh upload option or the pathfinding creation tools that the Second Life-specific option offers. “The OpenSim version can upload mesh as well, just not with the physics attribute,” she added. In fact, she said, the majority of Second Life users do actually use the OpenSim version and, thus, have access to all the OpenSim grids with the same viewer. There are also other benefits to using a popular viewer. For example, it’s easier to get help with a viewer that everyone else is using. There are also more people working on bug fixes and other improvements. New features that are developed in other viewers get thoroughly tested by the users of those other viewers and prove their value before they’re added.įinally, there are usually good reasons why a particular viewer is more popular than another.
