    Slipstream Beta 0.11.0 (build 24) -- the first release under the Slipstream name.

    Linux x86_64 (glibc >= 2.38, x86-64-v2 CPU): Slipstream_0.11.0-beta.1_x86_64.tar.xz -- run ./slipstream
    Windows x64 (unsigned; SmartScreen: More info > Run anyway): Slipstream_0.11.0-beta.1_win64.zip -- run SlipstreamViewer.exe

    Slipstream

    • New name and look: Alchemy's Vulkan fork is now Slipstream Viewer, with new icons and a proper version number (0.11.0).
    • Your settings come along: on first run, Slipstream copies your old Alchemy test-build settings, accounts and chat logs into its own folder (~/.slipstreamviewer, %APPDATA%\SlipstreamViewer). The texture cache starts fresh, so the first login downloads textures again.
    • The log is now Slipstream.log in that folder.

    New

    • Sharp on high-DPI screens: Slipstream renders at your monitor's real resolution and scales the UI by your desktop scale. Before, a scaled desktop got an upscaled, softer image. The UI may look a little smaller than before; adjust it in Preferences > Advanced > UI size.
    • Native Wayland on Linux, with X11 as the fallback (SDL_VIDEO_DRIVER=x11 forces X11).
    • Graphics presets fit your GPU: the first run picks a preset from your GPU, and shadows now scale with the preset. To re-tier an existing install, use "Reset to recommended settings" in Graphics.
    • TPS camera: Esc now toggles between the free mouse and the camera.
    • AvatarRotateThresholdSlow / Fast debug settings (from Firestorm).

    Fixes

    • Avatars stuck blurry, with bake-on-mesh bodies on placeholder textures, now sharpen.

    Windows testers: crash dumps

    The exe is now SlipstreamViewer.exe, so crash-dump collection needs the new registry setup (the old AlchemyViewer entry no longer applies). Use SlipstreamCrashDumps.reg, or the PowerShell snippet in #107 with SlipstreamViewer.exe.

    New features

    • FPS limit: Preferences > Graphics > Advanced, next to VSync (0 = unlimited). It only waits when you're running faster than the cap, so it never slows a frame that's already below it.
    • Skip the pre-jump crouch: new checkbox in Preferences > Move & View to jump instantly.
    • '/' no longer opens chat by default. To bring the old behaviour back, turn on the debug setting SlashStartsChat.
    • Shared key bindings: in Preferences > Controls, several actions can now use the same key or mouse button (e.g. Down + Crouch), and they all fire together. Debug setting ControlsAllowSharedBindings (on by default).
    • Build floater: arrow buttons to step through the parts of a linkset, Alchemy's layout for the top area, and the Align tool are back (from upstream Alchemy).
    • Script editor: a File > Enable LSL Preprocessor toggle, and a field for your external editor command in Script Preferences, used by the Edit... button. Leave it blank to use your system's default app.
    • Audio: 3D binaural (HRTF) processing is now off by default. It made audio sound muffled or "like bad headphones" on some headphone setups, mostly Windows front-panel jacks. Debug setting AudioOpenALHRTF turns it back on.

    Fixes

    • Windows: crash when an avatar leaves the region. Heap corruption (0xc0000374) crashed every Windows user in a sim at once, whenever someone left.
    • Windows: custom mouse cursors are back: the chair on seats, grab, pay, media, build tools, etc.
    • Crash on exit (use-after-free in the texture teardown; "double free or corruption" on Linux).

    Windows testers: getting crash dumps

    If the viewer closes without a crash report, run AlchemyCrashDumps.reg (ask for it) or the PowerShell snippet from #107. The next crash will then leave a .dmp in %LOCALAPPDATA%\CrashDumps. Please send it together with Alchemy.log.
