I watched memory use and it is significantly lower than before and memory use stops rising after a while which is a very good sign of significant improvements. The old old viewers would keep using more memory until it hit around 1.5gb and then the viewer would crash like clockwork.</p>
<p>Hopefully the "UI freezes wen you touch the side bar" fix will go in very soon.</p>
<p>If you are one of the people that usually uses beta viewers then you should be trying this one because using a 2.x beta is not providing LL the data they need for 3.x viewer performance analysis.</p>
<p>As for version number soup? Firefox is already discussing version 8 features soon to come out while everyone is on v5. Who cares about version numbers? Care about the defects instead. More beta testers there are the more defects found and squashed.</p>Hitomi Tiponi commented on 'Linden Lab Debuts <strike>Mandatory</strike> SL Viewer 3 Beta With Mesh (Updated)'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef0154347c9e72970c2011-08-13T10:44:04Z2011-08-13T10:44:04ZHitomi TiponiHamlet - this is no different from any other Beta update i.e. the change from Beta Viewer 2.8.1 to 2.8.3....<p>Hamlet - this is no different from any other Beta update i.e. the change from Beta Viewer 2.8.1 to 2.8.3. Updates are not 'mandatory' unless you have your 'software updates' preference to make them that way (that is the default but is easily changed) - could you please change your post to reflect this as it implies that people would not be able to use 2.8 beta or, in fact, full release versions when they still can - and may make them reluctant to continue using Viewer 2.</p>Melissa Yeuxdoux commented on 'Linden Lab Debuts <strike>Mandatory</strike> SL Viewer 3 Beta With Mesh (Updated)'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef014e8a9ad732970d2011-08-13T05:18:15Z2011-08-13T05:18:15ZMelissa Yeuxdouxhttp://vidasegunda.blogspot.com/Wow.

Tried it out and saw occlusion problems with clothing, until I went into preferences and went back to Ultra and turned shadows back on. Then everything went to blinding white.

It moved to "full" Beta (as an alternative download) on the 12th, as reported by Opensource Obscure. </p>
<p>I'm currently running 2.8.1.237758, which is also showing as the current release on the Download page. </p>
<p>*NO* mandatory update is forced on me when launching 2.8.1.237758 (tested at 19:00 PST 12 August).</p>
<p>AFAIK, Mesh is still only available across 30% of the main grid (comprising the Le Tigre, Magnum & mesh RC channela), with the BlueSteel RC channel and the rest of the main release channel still to be updated.</p>
<p>While mesh is coming / almost here, methinks this article may just be a tad premature. Perhaps after the mesh announcements have been made at SLCC 2011?</p>Jjccc commented on 'Linden Lab Debuts <strike>Mandatory</strike> SL Viewer 3 Beta With Mesh (Updated)'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef015390a66c47970b2011-08-13T01:35:43Z2011-11-26T14:03:35ZJjccchttp://profile.typepad.com/jjccci bet it crashes within 2 minutes<p>i bet it crashes within 2 minutes</p>Damien Fate commented on 'Linden Lab Debuts <strike>Mandatory</strike> SL Viewer 3 Beta With Mesh (Updated)'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef015390a66287970b2011-08-13T01:25:53Z2011-08-13T01:25:53ZDamien Fatehttp://www.damienfate.comExcellent!<p>Excellent!</p>Jay Kaufmat commented on 'Linden Lab Debuts <strike>Mandatory</strike> SL Viewer 3 Beta With Mesh (Updated)'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef014e8a99b098970d2011-08-13T01:10:26Z2011-08-13T01:10:26ZJay KaufmatFinally!

<p>People, if it's mandatory, it's not beta. It may be of poor quality, but it's not beta. </p>
