Second Life Release
7.1.11.12363455226

ExtraFPS RC (Release Candidate)

Extra performance boosts have been added to this release for that extra FPS. The enhanced texture memory tracking, broader hardware compatibility and higher FPS gain are sure to provide a smoother Second Life experience.

With ExtraFPS also comes extra features:

• New "HDR and Emissive" found in Advanced, Graphics settings, specifically to increase performance on old machines.
  • This mode enables/disables HDR and Emissive which will make much of the world appear like it did before 7.x based viewers.
• Filters on object Inventory to help manage those largely stocked prims.
• A new checkbox to show/hide the voice dot above avatars (see Preferences>Sound & Media).
• Your dot on the minimap is now white in order to distinguish against all your nearby friends.
• Graphics folks rejoice as we introduce:
  • New Antialiasing setting SMAA.
  • Contrast Adaptive Sharpening.
  • Additional tonemapper: Khronos Neutral. (Presently, can be set via Advanced Graphics Preferences)
• Exposure has been reset to 1.0
• Default tonemapper reset to ACES with small mix towards linear

Further changes include crash fixes, squashed bugs and webRTC improvements. See below for more details.
