A new Sansar release is ready. If you already have Sansar installed, be sure the updater runs when you next login - Sansar should automatically download the latest release.
In addition to new features and improvements in this release (we will get to some highlights of those below!) there are some things to take note of:
- Access controls update: With the new experience publishing controls, we migrated and mapped existing experiences to the new publishing controls system. Existing experiences should have their set access controls and published/not published states as expected, however,we encourage you to check your experiences to ensure that everything is set as you expect. Find out how you can check your settings here.
- Physics engine update: To increase performance and stability in Sansar, we’ve pushed a change to the physics engine that may affect existing and new dynamic objects in an experience. Dynamic objects with collision meshes will automatically be converted to a fitting Convex Hull of the mesh.
Now, let’s get to some release highlights - we’ve listed a few of these below, and you can visit the Release Notes section for the full rundown of release items for this as well as previous releases:
