    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.
