Introduction
- This is intended to be a reference source for all current public SL viewers / clients of which I’m aware / for which I have information, and is primarily drawn from the Second Life Third-party viewer Directory listing.
- Updates will be made as-an-when I notice / am informed of releases from the various Viewers.
- A weekly summary of changes will be published on the Monday of each week, listing all changes noted during the previous week
- Comments on this page are closed, but can be left on the relevant weekly summary page.
- Updates / releases in the past week are shown in green.
- Note that viewers considered as now having been updated recently enough to be fully compatible with Second Life are now listed under a separate heading towards the end of this page.
- Test viewers, preview / beta viewers / nightly builds are not recorded in this page.

Available Viewers
This list reflects those viewers available via the first four links in the LL Viewer Resources section, below.

Official Viewer Release Cadence and Version Numbering
- Official viewer updates are generally made on a planned monthly release cadence.
- The viewer version numbering will be changed to reflect the year / month of release, so 2025.03 (March 2025) will be the next viewer in the pipe, followed by 2025.04 for April 2025).
- Within this cadence, individual updates will be incorporated into each upcoming release on an “as needed” basis – so presumably high-priority fixes will be fast-tracked into releases as needed.
