V2 or V3

[Jaidyn Piers]

OK so I been noticing that we have long gone and passed Viewer 2 and are now on 3.2 so why do lindens keep calling it the offical Viewer 2 like idk why they failed to realise that its not even viewer 2 any more when we can clearly see it saw 3.2

Because the website isn't being maintained well? No one is botherig to keep the technical writing and documentation in sync any more with the viewer version.

V3 is just V2, re-branded to differentiate it because it has Mesh. It has all the same issues as V2, though in the latest dev version of 3.x they are begining to adddress some of the worst 'features' of V2.We will finally be able to eliminate the sidebar, and to chat with a chat floater that has a text entry field as part of it again.

I think they call it the Second Life Viewer. Much of the documentation probably still refers to V2 and V3 is called V2 a lot probably because it is just a continuation of the V2 format, as opposed to the V1.23 which from what I understand is noticeably different.
