Kokua:Experimental
From Kokua Wiki
Contents |
Introduction
This page highlights test viewers available of Kokua, the next generation Imprudence client based on Second Life Viewer 2 & 3. Features may come and go from test viewer to test viewer — it does not necessarily mean that a feature is being officially added to or removed from the viewer, just that things are being tested out. These viewers will also tend not to be widely announced or distributed due to their experimental nature. These are alpha viewers (that's before beta), and while we don't know of any game-breaking bugs in them (unless otherwise stated), we still recommend caution when using them. To be absolutely safe, we recommend those wishing to test these viewers use an alt account that does not have valuable items in its inventory, profile etc. Considered yourself warned!
These viewers are provided as a courtesy for those who want to try the bleeding edge ('bleeding' being a key word). These viewers are not considered ready for wide public release and there is no support provided with these viewers. Source code for these viewers is available, though it may take us a little while to get it posted on this page for each version as these are just being thrown up on the wiki here as the code is being finalized, so that it can be tested for bugs.
Kokua:Release Notes/3.3.1 Alpha Mac
Release Highlights
The features should equal secondlife viewer but, no mesh upload at present.
Some libraries are missing. Application icon too. No sound.
Developer Notes
Please look for backgound colors other than kokua purple and textual references other than kokua.
OSgrid sandbox or secondlifebeta (aditi) grid recommend for testing as no cost will be incurred for the uploads. Please test with an alt that has no important inventory content, just in case.
Please report issues to Bitbucket.

Kokua:Release Notes/3.3.1 Alpha
Release Highlights
- Updated May 13, 2010 Windows 32 bit Fix missing feature table text files missing from install.
- Updated May 13, 2010 Linux 32 bit
- Updated May 10. 2010 Linux 64 bit Ctrl-a bug fix.
Developer Notes
The linux 32 bit build should have equal features as the linux 64 bit build minus streaming audio. On my system running the 32 bit build on a 64 bit distribution there is no streaming audio using Kokua, Second Life or Firestrom viewers. If logged to an Opensim grid all three linux 32 bit viewers report a media plugin failure for the gstreamer010 plugin.
The Windows viewer has no streaming audio either.
Builds are at the point where bug reports can be filed to our redmine issue tracking system.
Please report issues to Redmine Issue Tracking.

Comments and issues
Need someone to clone and build this repository on windows as I have encountered regressions at almost every change made no matter how minor the change. Feedback from windows self compilers/builders would be most welcome.
