Well the 3.5 Beta is out..

Immigration Officer: Welcome to the Active Worlds Universe! :) Version 3.5
is now in open beta!! Download the build 524 beta from here
http://objects.activeworlds.com/downloads/awb35_beta.exe

Please check the online User guide for all the new features

New Features:

a.. The old toolbar has been replaced with a new, configurable toolbar.
While this is intended for other universes that require custom interfaces,
the ability is available to all users. The toolbar is defined in the
toolbar.cfg in the /default directory (under your Activeworlds directory).
See below for information about this file. The image used for the toolbar is
selectable under options -> settings -> advanced.
b.. Users may now assign the different camera modes to specific keys,
eliminating the need to cycle through the camera modes looking for the
desired view.
c.. A new "users" tab will list all users currently logged into the
universe, and will also list bots for universe administrators. Note that
this tab will NOT be supported in the main universe, but may be used in
other universes.
d.. A new option is available on the users and contacts tab: users may now
invite others to join them at their current location. This works much like a
join, except that the other user will teleport to your location, instead of
you teleporting to theirs. Note that both users must be running 3.5. Also,
note that the other user will teleport to your exact location, and not
several meters in front of you, as is the case with the "join" feature.
e.. Join and invite prompts will now appear as stacking popups instead of
inserting themselves into the chat window where they interrupt chat. The
popups disappear once the invitation expires. This also allows the users to
see all pending invitations at once, and respond to them in any order. Also,
the user may use F5 and F6 to respond to Invite/join popups. If there are
multiple popups, these keys will accept/decline for the oldest (top-most)
popup in the stack.
f.. The new (in 3.4) dialogs such as world features and key config should
now remember their last position.
g.. Several user-defined messages have been added to the message set.
Messages 1100 through 1119 can be set by someone (usually the universe
administrator, prior to distributing the software) Right now the only use
for these messages are as tooltips for the new configurable toolbar.
h.. The downloads box is now smaller, and will show progress bars for each
item being downloaded.
i.. Web page Urls can now read content from a local directory. prefacing a
URL with "local:" will cause the browser to look from content in the
"/default/web" directory. For example, "Activate Url local:mypage.html" will
look for "C:\Active Worlds\default\web\mypage.html". This is really only
useful for universe admins who want to pre-load web content for users. This
will not work if the Url attempts to access a directory outside of the
Activeworlds /default directory. URL's attempting to access other paths will
be ignored by the browser.
j.. The appearance of the object properties dialog has been changed.
k.. An "emote" command has been added to the chat window. Enter /me
followed by an action to have that shown in the chat window. For example, if
your username is "Bob" and you enter "/me waves goodbye", then the chat
window will display "Bob waves goodbye".
l.. The tabs window is now a floating window. It can still be hidden/shown
using F9, and can be "rolled up" by double-clicking the title bar.
m.. Added the ability for users to enter country name on the registration
screen.
n.. Viewport will now reclaim wasted space if gestures are turned off.
o.. Added a bit of margin space to the left side of the chat window.
p.. The CPU throttle has been adjusted for more robust scaling. In
previous versions, the browser would consume 99% of CPU time on fast
machines (particularly ones with high-end graphics cards). This could lead
to situations where other threads would be choked off, causing poor
performance in web pages, sluggish system response, and even disconnection
problems. The browser should now consume less than 50% of the CPU time, with
only a 5% loss in frame rate. These values are VERY approximate, and vary
greatly between systems, but the overall effect is that the browser should
use far less resources for only slightly diminished performance.
q.. The current avatar is now stored by object path, not world. This means
that you will always use the same avatar for all worlds that share the same
path.
r.. Added new world option "Terrain elevation offset". This will move the
global terrain up or down by the value given, in meters. Note that this is
not designed to be used on-the-fly, and changes to this value will not take
affect until a terrain update is forced (by moving around).
s.. Added new world option "Show water under terrain". This will disable
the use of "transparent edges" that would appear on shallow water, and
instead cause the world water to be rendered at a uniform opacity, even
underground.
t.. The way the connection is maintained has been changed, which may lead
to smoother avatar updates and more stable connections for some.
u.. A new ini option has been added for creating debug logs. Under the
[debug] section you may now add an optional value "purge_time = n", where n
is the number of seconds of log file you want the browser to keep before a
purge. Using this option will limit how big the log can get, which was a
problem for some when the log would expand until the hard drive was full. A
value between 15 and 60 seconds is recommended. Very small values may make
the log file useless, as the log may not have enough information to be
useful when the browser crashes.

All this nasty stuff here! Its a shame that people just can't keep all the
poopie stuff to themselves! To pick on one of the nicest and kindness
person in Activeworlds just don't cut it! Vera has shown great leadership in
the communities and I am sure this person that is complaining can think of
other nasty stuff to say about others ....... but in the end it only makes
them look like dog poop! So I sure hope everyone has their pooperscooper
ready and toss it out to a place the crap should go. Vera the community is
behind you all the way and don't let the low life's get to you!
