Virtual worlds remain a places where people can carve out little niches and build out their own nest --the cozy web.
Second Life is growing, and I'm excited to see where it goes in the coming years.

Metrics are showing that this improved framerate across all graphics settings and Apple Silicon hardware by an average of 30%+ 🙂
This is pretty awesome because we're seeing people dial up their graphics settings (enabling shadows, etc.) and still get a big FPS boost.

Still looking for some proposals here --this can be a paid gig. I'll be more broadly posting this on contracting sites --but with SL it's usually better to engage with contributors already familiar with the requirements.
Conan + modern cmake is a leading contender but we're open to alternatives.

Our goal is not to eliminate all differences between viewers --that's where Second Life's third party viewers shine-- but just to get the official viewer up to par with the most widely adopted differences between it and most other viewers: legacy search, LookAt privacy, etc.

This will also help all users speak the same user-experience "language." Right now if a new user joins using the official viewer major differences in UX between viewers make it difficult for others to help them learn to use the platform.
