Kokua 6.2.4 Release Notes

This version incorporates LL’s recent 6.2.4 viewer release which focused on rendering improvements. RLV support remains aligned with Marine’s latest release (RLV 2.9.26.2).

This is also the first release to use our new-style of first-run release notes hosted on Confluence. We are also switching to Confluence for download information and news postings. The entry page for Confluence is https://kokua.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/KKA .

As well as LL’s latest code we have also ported over several Firestorm features (with thanks to their original contributors). These include an improved debug settings floater with search and sanity checking of key values (primarily by Zi), backup/restore for most preferences (by Zi, LGG, Nicky, Ansariel and others), output device selection for sounds (by Ansariel)

Finally there are a number of fixes/improvements on the Kokua codebase itself, notably fixing the pie menus so that the Hover Height command appears (ie was there but a mistake in the file concerned prevented it being shown).
