S24(4) 2640 RC-1 Codename - Sjáandi
Sjáandi (Build 2640) – Release Candidate
As with previous versions, this client continues the tradition of using Old Norse naming. Sjáandi translates roughly to “viewer,” and build 2640 has now been promoted from preview to release candidate. It is the new default download.
Core Updates:
- Fully aligned with the current latest LL features.
- Marketplace and search systems updated
- New range slider added to the People window
- Double-click to hide balance now available on the status bar
- More agressive render refactoring and tweaking.
UI and Skin Overhaul: All skins have received significant updates. While Sjáandi may appear similar to FARA externally, the internal architecture has undergone major changes.
Build System and Infrastructure:
- Complete rework of the automated build system
- Python removed from all areas except manifest handling
- All libraries refreshed
- Hosting migrated to AWS S3
- Discord integration code included (currently disabled pending LL progress)
Rendering and Performance Enhancements:
- LL math for primitive functions replaced with DirectX math
- Boost-heavy functions refactored to standard C++
- Most libraries statically linked
- All current stability patches from develop and 2025.6 integrated where applicable **
- Final binary is 2MB smaller than the official client
Under-the-Hood: Sjáandi is fully LL-compliant and Grid-compatible. ** However, a significant portion of the underlying code has been rewritten. It no longer resembles LL or any other TPV, reflecting a push for speed, security, performance, and modernization etc etc.
Important Note: It is strongly recommended to erase both caches and settings before running this build. Fundamental changes—such as bandwidth handling and cache sizing—require a clean slate to avoid legacy conflicts.
Have a wonderful day!
Love KL.
