Time for a Coffee! - KRLV
It has been requested several times over the years, and I have now officially started work on an RLV implementation for S24. As with most things I do, however, there is a distinct KL twist involved. One of my long-standing concerns with existing RLV implementations has been the way the API integrates into the viewer. In an environment where performance matters and every microsecond counts, some of the traditional approaches never sat particularly well with me.
