Version 1.19 Odds and Ends

I heard that version 1.19 is RC now, so I gave it a a short look. The Linden source compiles right away which is a nice surprise after the last versions I've seen, but the source breaks a lot of my patches. From what I see, bringing them up to speed into will be tedious (merging patches after the underlying source changed is one of the most awful tasks I can think of at the moment), so don't hold your breath waiting for my next version. I'll however try to get it done when 1.19 goes gold.

Meanwhile Henri posted a comment that that he has an experimental 1.19 of his Cool Viewer for Linux (a blend of Henri's own patches, some Nicholaz patches and the Restrained Life viewer). Cool Viewer is pretty close to what I do, with reverting the user interface and undoing some other brilliant Linden ideas. I guess Boy Lane will soon have a Windows version of the Cool viewer too (he already has a Windows 1.18 with and without Windlight). See the text and the comments from Henri and Boy at my last post.

Also, if you have anything related to 1.19 (own builds, general comments, etc.) feel free to post them here.

Last but not least, if you are new to all this and if you are looking for a Nicholaz Edition, please scroll down for previous posts with my own versions, especially this one.

I have most f the EC-b patches running wiht the 1.19 windlight viewer by now.

The GUI patches are still to be added and that will be work as the GUI changed, noy just a little.

Any way you could build in that nifty feature from Restrained Life that blocks IMs when gagged, except in a non-BDSM context?

I wonder if it is possible to keep the old UI but also add that small search box in the upper right corner of the screen in a SL build...

Melanie Milland said...

The search box we all hate so much?
Most people want the network indicators, and no search box.
You can always build your own client, the search box patch is an isolated patch and you don't need to apply it.

Cristalle, how can someone gag you in a non-bdsm context? This i've got to see!

The Windows version of the Cool Viewer in 1.19.0.79627 is finally working without crashing...up on my blog. With the old userinterface of course and RestrainedLife 1.10.2.

Have fun!

I have noticed that the old hair and sometimes shoes ending up on your tail end, after a TP has moehow managed to resurface with the current 1.19 RC / I for one am completely happy with the current official LL release and your last round of patches. And as far as the WindLight release is concearned /I am a builder content creator here in SL / the only thing I will ever use WL for is photo's of my work / other than that is worthless to me
keep up the great work Nicholaz
