It’s time for another release of Radegast; this time with version 2.54. This version brings many under-the-hood updates and changes. Still wrangling in memory use and fixing deadlocks that caused freezing. This version drops Vivox support in favor of WebRTC. However, the WebRTC does not work reliably due to underlying library issues with .NET 4.8.1. It is taking time to get the fixes upstream to SIPSorcery.
Offline IMs should now download correctly. Autosit should work again. There has been another round of inventory robustness changes and appearance changes. Client baking (OpenSimulator baking) should once again work. Shape morphs are applied in 3D Scene which has been broken for about 16 years. Alphas are also correctly applied now. There are various other small changes, and it should certainly be a better experience for those running v2.52 or previous.
Looking ahead, we are on the precipice of releasing a total rewrite of the Radegast Viewer from near scratch with a new modern UI and fully working cross-platform and architectural compatibility, many new plugins, many neglected and unimplemented features from Second Life (things such as pathfinding, GLTF materials, Animesh, etc. As always with a text-first focus ond accessibility and automation (bots) as first-class features. So be on the lookout for a beta soon!
For now, this is Radegast, and I hope that you enjoy the changes. Any bugs can be reported on the Issue Tracker, and downloads are available here.
For those wanting a quick link, if you are running a Windows PC with a 64-bit processor (very very likely unless you know otherwise), this is the installer for you.
