[Viewer 2.4 Released!]

Pardon me, but after reading the release notes and downloading 2.4 and working with it a while, I can see no improvements with "antialiasing, anisotropic filtering, and snapshots", let alone stability.  My viewer crashes instantly when I attempt a snapshot unless I turn over managing antialiasing and anisotropic filtering to my graphics card.  I also see nothing in the release notes about snapshots and can see no difference in the interface or behavior.  Also, the shadows/SSAO look absolutely lovely...for the minute or so before I crash.  Just what was "improved"?

Ever since July I've spent my time in 2.x with my draw distance at 64 and minimal enhancements and still cannot do much of anything before I crash.    I don't think this viewer is any more stable and my SL life sucks while harnessed with it.

I will say I am enjoying multiple clothing layers and attachments.  They really enhance my creativity and ability to modify my avatar.  Now, if I could just *do* something besides standing still on my land, please???

[Viewer 2.2 Beta has Arrived!]

Thanks for this explanation on multiple attachments, Winter.  I was greatly disappointed to not find the setting in debug and, frankly, it was another reason I went back to the main viewer.  Glad it works more intiutively--well, at least like multiple clothing layers--now.  And I agree, demoing hair was an adventure   Somedays I wondered if I was freaking out the unknowing by wearing 2 or 3 hairs at once.

@ Imagin:  I thought it was me when, after trying everything, antialiasing, anisotropic, feathering, Avatar LOD, verifying the above changes were application controlled and not still computer graphics interface driven, and still had the worst appearance with horrible jagged edges on my avatar and all objects I'd seen since I upgraded my computer 2 years ago.  Changing the Device settings in the Preferences>Graphics tab did not produce a screen/view reset that I have seen with every other viewer.  It was so bad I switched back to 2.1.  Everything is back to "normal" now.  I have a 9800 GT.
