This summary is generally published every Monday, and is a list of SL viewer / client releases (official and TPV) made during the previous week. When reading it, please note:
- It is based on my Current Viewer Releases Page, a list of all Second Life viewers and clients that are in popular use (and of which I am aware), and which are recognised as adhering to the TPV Policy. This page includes comprehensive links to download pages, blog notes, release notes, etc., as well as links to any / all reviews of specific viewers / clients made within this blog.
- By its nature, this summary presented here will always be in arrears, please refer to the Current Viewer Release Page for more up-to-date information.
- Note that for purposes of length, TPV test viewers, preview / beta viewers / nightly builds are generally not recorded in these summaries.

I suppose, that is important for a couple of people – as me – who haven’t read it forehand:Firestorm 6.6.17 will not be blocked. But you will lose your voice.

Yes. WebRTC will be replacing the Vivox voice system very soon. As 6.6.17 will only be maintained as-is, then no voice once the back-end switch in thrown. Details on the WebRTC project can be found in my SUG and CCUG. summaries.
