Linden Lab announced yesterday that the 1.23.5 Release Candidate would be depreciated. If you attempt to log in using that viewer you will be directed to the update download. They also mentioned in the same post that 1.22.11 would be depreciated on June 1st.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. You can bitch and moan about 2.0 all you want. You can scream and yell. You can threaten to take all your toys and go home. You can hold your breath until you pass out. The steady pace of viewer progression will march on with or without you. It won’t be long before the regular 1.23.5 viewer is no longer officially supported. That means if you have a problem the Lindens won’t help you. They will tell you to upgrade to 2.0 if you want support. Then it will only take one critically necessary update to render 1.23.5 completely obsolete and you won’t have a choice anymore.
Well, not ANY choice. You could always move to Emerald. But then LL doesn’t support that viewer now as it is. Emerald support consists of a handful of ‘volunteers’ who answer questions between gesture spamming in the Korea welcome area. Plus you are trusting that known thieves and data miners haven’t put something fishy in their viewer to track you or totally fuck you over if they feel like it. Good luck with that. (If you really can’t stand 2.0 I suggest Kirstens viewer or one of the other third party offerings NOT made by sleazy quasi-anonymous (former?) hackers and content thieves. )
My advice is to do yourself a favor and bite the bullet and move to 2.0 now while you can still use 1.23.5 as a crutch. Do you know you can add your own tweaks to the viewer? You can find instructions how to do it in the wiki. I’ve added transparent windows and extra buttons to mine and I love it. Hell, if you’re adventurous you can make your own skinned 2.0 viewer that LOOKS like 1.23 if you really hate 2.0 that badly.

Just don’t cry when 1.23.5 finally gets canned. It WILL happen and there ain’t thing one you can do to stop it. The handwriting is on the wall plain as day and you really need to start breathing again. You’re scaring your mother.
