Next Version : Catznip R9

Catznip R9 is mostly feature complete, there are a couple of little bits we really want to get in if we can. A selected few alpha testers are working with us to refine the new functionality while we polish up the user interface additions and fix any last minute big bugs. Beta testing will start soon and we hope to have a public pile on beta test period before we release the final finished product. The OSX version may be slightly delayed .. cross your fingers.

Catznip R9 will have materials, new particles and fitted mesh from Linden Lab.

The delays in launching are entirely down to adding CHUI from LL and doing a lot of clean up work only to find that it incurred a unacceptable drop in performance, a significant amount of time was lost trying to make it faster. In the end we reimplemented chat from scratch using a mixture of R8 and the best CHUI elements. The new chat interface is fast and tight with all the bells and whistles you expect (and maybe .. a few brand new ones).

Discord Group : https://discord.gg/rxKQMG7

We will always try to help where we can but time is limited and we could easily spend all day helping people out with general Second Life problems or queries. Please report all bugs on the Catznip JIRA.

If you really really need to contact us personally then you can search for Coffee Pancake or Kitty Barnett but if we’re not online or can’t respond then please do just send offline IMs and notecards.

Never install one of our Previous Releases to see if that fixes your problem, we only support the Latest Release.

Second Life Support

We do not provide dedicated support staff, and while we will always try and be helpful if we can, if you need help or support for anything that is not Catznip or RLVa specific then your first port of call should be the official Second Life support services.

Linden Lab do not support any third party viewers so it is in your best interest when communicating with Lab support staff to resolve a generic Second Life issue that you a switch to a Linden provided viewer and not mention Catznip at all.

Kitty is worried this will sound mean or dismissive, but really we prefer to set a realistic expectation; If we can – or have the time to – we probably will help, but if it’s outside of the “Catznip – or RLVa – scope” then there is a good chance we will just refer you to the Second Life Forums or Knowledge Base, unless you are made from chocolate, then we will just eat you. Om nom nom.
