In preparation for connectivity testing, a new release is being issued:

Changes include:

Jabber Chat fixes
The Local Help menu item will now bring up the users preferred web browser on the help files instead of the rather weak Scamper in the 3D space
Billboard avatars.

These are the simplest possible avatar, a texture that always faces the viewing camera. These can be created from any image via the Cobalt>>My Avatar... menu item.

These should be the easiest to customize as pretty much anyone can take a picture with a digital camera and trim it a bit to make an image suitable for an avatar.

Menu item to create a build ruler, which is a stack of 1 m cubes that can be used to measure in-space objects
Some cleanup of the internals of the Alpha place panel
Fixes to the CSliderWithTypein class
Work around to problems withe the portals staying in synch, to use the materialize option for portal creation by default.

After uploading the build will be available at http://www.duke.edu/~jd135/downloads/cobalt-base-current-build-20090330.zip . The last extended content release at http://www.duke.edu/~julian/downloads/Open%20Cobalt/content-20090226.zip is still valid with this build.

Cheers,
-- John
