This page shows all changes since the Firestorm 6.2.4.57588 Release.
If you are updating from an earlier version than 6.2.4, see HERE for previous release notes.

For a summary of all the major new features and improvements in this release, please
see Inara Pey's Firestorm 6.3.2.58052 blog post.

Bakes on Mesh is a new feature to allow system avatar baked textures to be shown on mesh attachments.

• Any face of a mesh object can be textured using one of the server baked textures.
• The corresponding region of the system avatar is hidden if an attached mesh is using a baked texture.
• 5 new bake channels - leftarm, leftleg, aux1, aux2, aux3. You can use the new bake channels on the face of a mesh.
• A universal wearable type.
  

• New tattoos for universal wearable type -
  • HEAD_TATTOO, → baked to head
  • UPPER_TATTOO → baked to upper
  • LOWER_TATTOO, → baked to lower
  • SKIRT_TATTOO, → baked to skirt
  • HAIR_TATTOO, → baked to hair
  • EYES_TATTOO, → baked to eyes
  • LEFT_ARM_TATTOO, → baked to left arm
  • LEFT_LEG_TATTOO, → baked to left leg
  • AUX1_TATTOO, → baked to aux1
  • AUX2_TATTOO, → baked to aux2
  • AUX3_TATTOO, → baked to aux3

• Avoid the need for texture appliers → easier customization workflow.
• Avoid the need for onion avatars → fewer meshes, fewer textures at display time.
• Avoid the need to sell full-perm meshes. You can customize any mesh you have modify permissions for simply by setting the flags and equipping the appropriate wearables.
  
  

Avatar wearables are baked into eleven different textures (BAKE_HEAD, BAKE_UPPER, BAKE_LOWER, BAKE_EYES, BAKE_SKIRT, BAKE_HAIR, BAKE_LEFTARM, BAKE_LEFTLEG, BAKE_AUX1, BAKE_AUX2, BAKE_AUX3) by the baking service.
You can now apply these textures to your avatar’s object attachments’ diffuse texture slot.
Right-click on the attachment, click edit and from the edit face menu select textures.
Click the diffuse texture icon to open up the texture picker.
The texture picker has an extra radio button mode called ‘bake’ for selecting server bakes.
The ‘bake’ radio button mode has a dropdown for selecting BAKE_HEAD, BAKE_UPPER, BAKE_LOWER, BAKE_EYES, BAKE_SKIRT, BAKE_HAIR, BAKE_LEFTARM, BAKE_LEFTLEG, BAKE_AUX1, BAKE_AUX2, BAKE_AUX3 server bake textures.
When an attachment is using a baked texture, the corresponding base mesh region of the system avatar is hidden.

If a mesh face is set to show a baked texture but is not attached to an avatar, you will see a default baked texture.
If you are using an older viewer without bakes on mesh support, then faces set to show baked textures will also display as the default baked texture, and base mesh regions will not be hidden.

• NEWAdded the ability to edit notecards in an external editor
  For Firestorm, to set the external notecard editor, go to Preferences → Firestorm → Build 1 → External Editor → Browse to the program or application and select then press OK.
  When a notecard is open, you will see a new “Edit” button bottom left.
  Clicking the Edit button opens the Notecard in the external editor.
  Making changes in the external editor & then saving the file in the external editor will upload the changes into the notecard in Second Life.
  If no external editor is selected in Preferences, the viewer will try to use the external editor that you have set to open txt files.
  NOTE: There is a known bug with this feature that causes the order of embedded content to break - see BUG-227626 for details

• NEWAdded the ability to duplicate a group role

• FIXEDMovement at region crossing - Fixed Predict behaving like Stop
  This fixes FIRE-24184
  Preferences → Move & View → Movement at region crossing
  Ansariel Hiller

• NEWAttachments now auto-refresh if they are ghosted on teleport
  Added timer for refreshing attachments if attachments were attempted to get killed after the actual teleport finished
  This feature should mostly solve the problem where attachments are invisible to observers after a teleport or region change
  It provides the same function as “Refresh Attachments” under Avatar → Avatar Health, but the refresh is triggered automatically when needed
  This feature is enabled by default
  Optionally, if the debug setting FSExperimentalLostAttachmentsFixReport is set to TRUE, Firestorm reports attachments that were attempted to get detached during a teleport or region crossing to nearby chat, followed by reporting “Refreshing attachments…” to nearby chat when the auto-refresh starts
  This should hopefully workaround FIRE-12004 and BUG-7761 until there is a server-side fix from Linden Lab.
  Ansariel Hiller

• FIXEDFixed being unable to add multiple copies of identical system layers
  Removed the restriction on adding system layers with identical asset UUIDs at the same time since at some point LL fixed it server-side and creating a new asset UUID
  The fixes FIRE-24334

• FIXEDFixed LookAt target clamping sometimes causing avatar eyes to cross
  This fixes FIRE-24175

• FIXED Broke “wear_folder” links from working in legacy profiles
  Previously it was possible to put obfuscated links in your legacy profile that, when clicked by another user, would replace outfit with one of the default outfits from the inventory library.
  For example [secondlife:///app/wear_folder/?folder_id=bedd047e-a3d7-23e6-57bc-1ef367d848e7 See me nude!] would just display as a “See Me Nude” link.
  This will now no longer work & The link text will now display as “Wear Inventory Folder”.
  Also marked user-editable fields in legacy profiles as untrusted content
  This fixes FIRE-24262
  Ansariel Hiller

• FIXEDFixed Firestorm Animation Overrider smart sit not working for child prim seats
  Zi Ree

• REMOVEDRemoved the setting “Use HTTP for receiving textures” from SL-only viewer preferences
  Fetching textures over UDP on Second Life grids is no longer supported.
  This fixes FIRE-24256

• IMPROVEMENTPayment confirmation is now skipped if paying yourself
  Also fixed a case where the payment confirmation notification would not be shown if the amount would be exactly the remaining L$ balance
  This improvement was requested in FIRE-24208
  Ansariel Hiller

• IMPROVEMENTThe Sanity Checker warning icon now calls up the sanity checker dialog with a “fix it” option.
  Zi Ree

• FIXEDPartially fixed alpha triangles showing on certain mesh hairs on Linux
  This fixes the majority of the affected hairs but not all of them.
  This “fixes” FIRE-23370 and BUG-8801
  Nicky Dasmijn

• FIXEDFixed compiler warnings when building the viewer with GCC 8.3.0+
  This fixes FIRE-24294 and BUG-227485
  Chaser Zaks

• CRASH FIXFixed crash in legacy search on Latency skin
