Working to make avatar loading play nicely with other features of the app, including: - Change to loading priority - reduce priority for other avatars, maintain priority for your avatar! - Silhouetted avatars now have a total maximum time of 15s before showing avatar Support for llPreloadSound, llTriggerSound App setting changes will no longer reset when updating the app (Production only) Bug fixes for - Teleport fails - Stuck teleports - Stuck teleport screen - Multiple login issues - Missing objects or materials - Session terminating after a long logout and a login again quickly - Particles would suddenly appear on your avatar - Avatar vanishing (when the simulator changes your ID randomly)

- Improvements to avatar rendering

- Variable Texture Resolution: textures now load at different resolutions based on your device memory and object importance—significantly reducing memory use while improving visual quality. - Particle effects now have partial support, with more improvements planned. - Support added for llSetText. - Avatar Welcome Pack - You can now find the Avatar Welcome Pack in the mobile app’s Avatar menu! Choose from a variety of predefined avatar bodies and looks, then save your favorites as new outfits with just a tap. - Major upgrade to avatar loading and silhouette handling for smoother appearance. - Objects now unload from memory more quickly. - Invalid or recently deleted objects will correctly reload when they re-appear. - Teleport screen reliability improved. - Streaming music is temporarily disabled during teleport to avoid conflicts.

- Fixed a bug with object loading - Added a new 25m draw distance option (Menu > Settings > General > Max Draw Distance) - default is 40m - Improved framerate on lower-end devices - Rendering resolution now adjusted on the fly to keep things running smoothly. We look at your framerate over the last 10 seconds and automatically lower or raise resolution to maintain at least 20fps (or 80% of your framerate cap, whichever is higher). You might notice a short dip when loading new areas, but it quickly recovers. - Added a new “unloader framework” that decides which items should be temporarily removed if the system runs low on memory. Instead of deleting them, it safely suspends them so they can return once memory becomes available again. - A performance index now estimates your device’s power using real-world benchmarks. Default settings—like draw distance (how far you can see) and max avatars (how many avatars are shown) —automatically scale to fit your device’s capabilities.

- Fix to issue with black textures - Fix to streaming audio
