Sad Farewell - Kirstens Viewer
KirstenLee Cinquetti has ceased development of Kirstens Viewer, citing that his SL/RL Partner, Dawny Daviau, is very ill and that Kirsten can’t continue to work on his bleeding edge viewer and tend to his partner at the same time.
You may have noticed that the client has not been updated in some time. Sadly Real Life events have taken an unfortunate turn which basically puts an end to any more development.
The Plans for S22 have been shelved and the project has been marked as discontinued.[…]
Dawny has been very Ill, and had to stop working. As you can imagine my priority is to support her in any way possible and that means I have to become the main bread winner, as much as I enjoy working on the client it’s obviously the first thing to go.

I would like to wish everyone who has supported the project over the years, a huge hug and many thanks, Jabba, Altair and all the people who have put up with my ranting and raving and unusual colour choices in UI. :)
Who knows what the future holds! But for now Kirstens Viewer goes into a deep sleep.
Presses the Shut Down button, Drives spin down, silence……….
Sad to see another third-party SL viewer dev retiring, especially since Kirstens Viewer was (and still is, for the time being) my favourite Second Life viewer.
Best wishes to KirstenLee and Dawny. Hopefully Dawny will get better in the near future and Kirsten can begin working on his bleeding-edge SL viewer again.
