This is a release for Windows and Mac only. We are still struggling to cope with changes required on the Linux side introduced with library changes in 6.6.0 and to a lesser extent 6.6.1. See Where is Kokua 6.6.0 or 6.6.1? for more information. We are still welcoming approaches from anyone with an interest in contributing to the Linux builds of Kokua.
This version brings Kokua up to date with LL’s 6.6.2 release, see these LL release notes for the changes in each:-
6.6.0 Performance Viewer: https://releasenotes.secondlife.com/viewer/6.6.0.567604.html
6.6.1 Maintenance: https://releasenotes.secondlife.com/viewer/6.6.1.572458.html
6.6.2 Cut & Paste in Build Tools: https://releasenotes.secondlife.com/viewer/6.6.2.573358.html
Typing Indicator
Kokua 6.6 enhances the Typing Indicator by adding the ability to use a typing label in the same style as bubble chat with the added option of a colour choice. The control options are located in Preferences / Colors / Name Tags

Frame Limiting
In 6.6 LL removed the original frame rate limiting code (again) in favour of a new limiter which aims to limit to the VSync rate of the display. This is controlled by ‘Enable VSync’ in Preferences / Graphics / General/Avatar
However, there are situations where the original frame limiter is still worthwhile - for instance restricting the performance on laptops to reduce noise and heat generation. Although the old frame limiter is not particularly accurate, it is effective at reducing the viewer’s load on the system. For this reason, we have retained the old limiter in parallel with the new VSync facility and added a new slider to adjust its value. Both options are controlled on General/Avatar as shown below. If the old frame limiter was in use prior to 6.6 it will remain active and must be turned off to use the VSync option or unlimited frame rates.

Copy & Paste in the Build/Edit Floater
Although Kokua has had copy/paste capabilities for a long time, the LL implementation goes further. Accordingly we have removed the original Kokua version and gone over entirely to LL’s version which uses menus instead of buttons.
Other Changes
As usual the full list of addressed issues is at the bottom of the page following some notes on those where additional explanation is needed.
