Beta Release 65 includes up to Developer Release 7911. You will need to update to this version in order to visit domains running it. Here are the details:
New Stuff
- You can now bring a 2D image into world as a 3D “poster” object via the Create menu.
- When you rotate a zone, you can now see the outlines.
- Added: new handles in Create mode that are similar to industry standard 3D modeling tool paradigms.
- Domain server settings are now split into content settings (settings associated with content) and server settings (settings associated with your Sandbox or cloud server). You will find content settings under Content tab and Server settings under settings tab. Please note: No functionality has been removed with this change.
- Added functionality to download, upload and create content archives from Content tab. Each archive will include models.json file, assets in ATP, and content settings.
- You can now download and upload server settings archives from the Settings tab to allow easy transfer of settings across different servers.
- Ability to add a material entity in world.
- Ability to certify avatars, apps and content sets.
- During the last stage of Wallet setup, you will see new instructions on how to get HFC. You’ll also get info on generating another private-public key pair when original pair is lost, or the passphrase has been forgotten.
- HRTF improvements that render near-field effects, occurring when an audio source is closer than 1m from your head. More technical detail for your reading pleasure here and here. Have someone whisper close to you, and let us know how it sounds to you!
