This release brings initial support from LL for server side appearance (SSA is formerly known as SSB, I know, right..), havok integration add the long awaited ability to upload mesh objects and the full set of pathfinding features. We've added a couple more little usability features that we know you'll love and some minor updates to RLVa.

We've been holding back on this release wanting to make sure we provided a good experience with SSA when it goes live, Linden Lab (LL) are working up to the wire and we didn't feel entirely comfortable with the state of the project. As it stands this release provides only initial support for SSA, There will be more from LL and that will be in Catznip R9.

All in all this delay has really paid dividends, there have been a lot of crash and bug fixes that in no small part were aided by our awesome beta testers. We will be looking to expand the beta test team for the next release, but as always, quality over quantity.

Personally, this feels like one of the most polished releases we have ever done and it certainly flies.

This release is a mandatory update for all prior versions of Catznip. All previous versions will be depreciated as logging in to an SSA region in Second Life with a non-SSA viewer will cause irreversible asset corruption. To put it plainly, you will causes permanent damage to whatever you are wearing.
