Catznip Beta
- - - : - - - - - - : - - - - - - : - - -
Catznip Release : R12.2

Platform Notes

Windows : If you are already using a beta version please give the auto updater a chance as that is one of the things we need to test. If it fails please report and see the group for direct links.

Linux : The auto updater will download but then fails. Refer to the link posted in the group and manually extract as usual.

OSX : No R9 beta in the near future due to a blocking issue.

Feedback Required

Updater

For those already running the beta we would like to know if the forced update from R9.0.8 worked correctly. It should be mandatory for everyone.

Login Page

Thoughts on this set-up. Is a wiki page useful (keeping in mind we don't allow public editing of our wiki), would a blog or subreddit be better. Totally up for suggestions at this point. The provide feedback button that we use on the regular wiki doesn't work in the viewer, so don't use that >>>>>

All Preferences

We've been having a major play in the prefs, especially Chat and Sound. Please test everything.

• The intent is for the Catznip tab to eventually be phased out entirely.
• We don't want to show every option, just the important ones.
• Tooltips : All prefs options that are directly keyed to a debug setting use the debug setting text as a tooltip (we understand this is English only at this point).

Reproductions Needed

In an IM window that has an existing conversation, press CTRL+F, search for an existing word. Sometimes the highlight is visible after the search tool has been closed. Need steps to reproduce.

Known Issues

• Linux updater will download the file and then .... doesn't know what to do with it, manually download from the group notice.
• Release version in help about still shows R9 .. not R9.0.x

• Chat toolbar 'pay' icon wrong.
• The top bar is blue. Clearly it should be pink.
• Beta users should be in the Litterbox group, no exceptions.
• Beta users shouldn't be able to opt out of sending crash reports.
• The Windows updater does not like https.

Translations

Pretty much all of the translations in the viewer need checking. We have had some feedback that the quality varies from acceptable to dire. We have tried to keep Linden translations as far as possible for all UI changes but know that's not an ideal solution. For now could changes and corrections be passed to Trinity Dejavu on a notecard. We will come up with something a bit more collaborative in the near future. Please, no google/machine translation.
