This release brings Kokua to parity with LL’s 6.6.6 release.

6.6.5 was a maintenance release which also incorporated minimap improvements (most of which Kokua already has). https://releasenotes.secondlife.com/viewer/6.6.5.575749.html

6.6.6 was a hotfix to 6.6.5 delivering a fix to the rendering of alpha layers. https://releasenotes.secondlife.com/viewer/6.6.6.575990.html

There’s one additional change. Kokua had the debug setting TurnAroundWhenWalkingBackwards defined but was missing the code to make it work. What should happen is that instead of the avatar moving backwards, they turn around and face the direction of movement.

This has now been added, along with an option to manage it on Preferences / Move & View / Keyboard.

Note that this is a local effect only - other people will still see the avatar walking backwards.
