Kokua:Release Notes/Kokua Release RLV/5.1.3.42943

Kokua 5.1.3.42943 is based on LL Viewer 5.1.2 and RLV viewer 2.9.22.1

This version sees some improvements and bugfixes to the radar capabilities imported from Marine's viewer

The radar will now run full time, not only when the people/nearby floater is showing.

When an avatar arrives in the region and arrives within draw or chat range the distance will be shown.

Region entry/exit notifications are now available. You can enable/disable them from the RLV top bar menu.

The range is controlled by the slider in the people/nearby floater. This can be set as high as 4200 (to include the whole of a region from 0,0,0 to 255,255,4095) however for most people a much lower in the range 500-1000 will be sufficient to get notices of interest.

In situations where two or three notifications might be given (eg an avatar arrives and is a) new in the region, b) within draw range and c) within chat range) only one notification will be given. This will be the nearest on arrival and the furthest on departure. So, in the situation where someone teleports next to you from elsewhere and then teleports away from the region you will get a chat range entry notification when they arrive and a region leaving notification when they leave.

Note: This feature is only in the RLV version of Kokua because the radar code that has been enhanced here originates in Marine's Viewer (and in turn was imported there from a quite old Firestorm version). If there is sufficent public demand we'll refactor the code to be a standard part of Kokua
