=====================================

Changes:
* Improved Help menu with links to additional resources
* ‘Add as Friend’ button added to Profile
* Added buttons to the IM window to scroll to the first and last tabs
* Added parcel flag for Mature Content

** Searches are done against the full text of the group, including charter
** Search index is updated daily; new groups may take 24 hours to appear
** Clicking on a group found via search still shows up-to-date information

** Example: the hollow inner surface of a sphere will no longer draw on top of the outer surface
** This change may cause content using alpha textures to appear differently

** You can now set the beacon size in Preferences -> Adv. Graphics (Range is 1-127)

LSL changes:
* LSL Wiki browser embedded in the viewer
