Catznip R6 Release
This is the maintenance release we were trying for last time and is strongly recommended, kitty did try and sneak in a few new features while she bashed away at the bugs but I stopped her! Not having any of that nonsense I said .. bad kitty.
That all said a brand new floater to send group messages appeared out of nowhere, just right click on a group in ‘My Groups’ and away you go. Incoming group messages got some love and are now just a bit more readable and they sort correctly, oh, and we jammed in a ton of windlight presets from a variety of sources (sorted and cleaned them up too).
Of the numerous bugs ironed out in this release, the delay when you right click something, or when you want to edit has been blasted to tiny pieces, as has the rather nasty one involving our spell-checker and multi-line chat (sorry about that). Thanks to everyone who contributed on the Issue Tracker and passed on feedback.

Catznip R5 Release
Catznip R5 is a little overdue and initially started out as a maintenance release, but you know how these things go, poke this , poke that, add something here, ranting screaming fit there …
Very proud to present Catznip Script Recovery. Ever crash or get logged out while editing a script and then loose all your work?
Following a crash or forced disconnect you’re now presented with a dialog offering to recover the scripts you had open.
This works for all scripts, everywhere, and as we found out while trying to take the screenshot for this release, is very robust and persistent. It wont go away till you either recover or dismiss it .. even if you crash.
Ongoing, this pushes some more of of the work done with chat. There is now a right click context menu that allows you to switch between a single and re-sizable multi-line chat bar on the fly as well as making it easy to globally change the chat font size, the spell checker also got a lot of attention in perpetration for submission to the official client. There is a lot more to come in this area and feedback is greatly appreciated.
Group moderators get a bonus this release, you can now eject a user by opening the participants list and using the right click context menu. No more opening the group floater, waiting, searching for the user name, waiting, waiting. Just, click, click, bye bye jerkface.
RLVa got a well needed service with a number of FUI and location based bugs getting squished, SharedWear was also enabled by default. You no longer need to bother with folders naming attachment points for things you place in an #RLV folder, it just works. On related note, this release also includes the Lab’s fix for RenderResolutionDivisor, so things that make your vision fuzzy now function as they should.
Fans of a more classic interface and anyone with limited screen real estate will love the new Mini Location Bar and ability to remove the Buy L$ and Marketplace buttons. Just right click the top status bar.

TPV Listing & Issue Tracker
Just a small update before our next release; Catznip has been submitted for inclusion in the official TPV listings. Something we have held off doing for a while as we wanted to make sure that we had all our ducks in a line.
These things can take a couple of weeks so don’t go looking for us just yet though 
I am also very pleased to announce that our public bug genie powered issue tracker is now open for Catznip viewer & RLVa bug reports and feature suggestions. While not required we do recommend you create an account as it will make life easier keeping track of any follow up as things progress.
Just to restate; We are very open to feature ideas or requests, but please present them in the form of a use case and not simply asking us to include feature X from viewer Y.
Oh .. and we should have Catznip R5 published very soon.
