2026.1.1

With this release we've dramatically simplified the Second Life install and update experiences.

What's new

  • Viewers on Windows now use a new "one click" installer that installs the viewer to a local user directory.
    • Viewers on macOS still use the disk image method for drag and drop install.
  • All viewers will now use a new updater that makes updates more transparent.
    • Viewers will no longer prompt the user to install an update. It will now download updates in the background and prompt the user for installation.
  • Installing to custom locations is supported by the --installto command line parameter
  • Portable installations can be found on our GitHub. This is experimental and no support will be provided at this time. Use at your own risk
  • You will be prompted to uninstall older viewers should you wish to do so.
  • The Windows viewer is now installed in a user directory. You can find it under %LocalAppData% in Windows Explorer. It will be listed as SecondLifeViewer.

Try it out and tell us what you think

The Second Life Viewer 26.1.1 is now available to download from the official Second Life website. As always, we encourage you to try it out and let us know how it performs in your day-to-day use.

If you run into issues, please file bugs via Canny (Feedback) so they can be tracked and investigated by the team. Your reports directly help shape future releases.

Thanks for helping us make the Second Life Viewer better — and we’ll see you in the next release!

Velopack download failure diagnostic (#5520)

* Velopack download failure diagnostic

* Fix up velopack downloading updates.  Handle updates internally then hand them off to velopack. (#5524)

* Update llvelopack.cpp

* More velopack changes.  Should download updates properly now.

* Update llvvmquery.cpp

* Don't include NSI files

* Restore optional updates, refine viewer restart behavior. (#5527)

* Add support for optional updates.

* Don't restart the viewer after the update unless it was optional.

* Setup UpdaterServiceSetting with velopack properly.

* Refine the restart behavior a bit - readd the old "the viewer must update" UX.

* If the update is still downloading, close should just reopen the downloading dialog.

Also add a login guard - probably unnecessary, but you never know with how creative our residents get.
