The Electric Sheep Company have released an update to the OnRez Second Life Viewer with a couple new features and some bug fixes. It certainly was easier to download than the night of the show. Get it here.

The two new features are:

• Voice Chat: Now when you start a person-to-person or group voice chat the Talk button will be depressed for you. Previously you had to click “Join Call” then activate the Talk button. Now there’s one less click.

• The integrated Web Browser now has status text on the bottom left of the Browser window. It will report on page load status.

The bug fixes are:

• Fixed Appearance Editor bug so that avatar will fully turn in most cases

• Two letter Region names are now accessible via the location bar, general searches still require at least 3 characters
• Fixed a bug in the Web Browser where the browser window appeared black until the browser window regained focus
• Made several color tweaks to improve legibility and contrast
