Thanks to Ansariel for fixing a bug before it ever plagued us!
Freeze avatar while selecting attachments (Lirusaito, originally by Chalice Yao)

Added MiniMapPrimMaxAltitudeDelta and MiniMapPrimMaxAltitudeDeltaOwn debug settings which allow customization of which objects are shown on the mini-map based on proximity. (Lirusaito)

Added Google Breakpad crash reporting system. (Latif)
By default the viewer will ask if the crash report should be sent to the Singularity Development Team in case the last run has crashed. This behaviour can be changed in Preferences -> General -> Crash reports where it can be permanently disabled or enabled. We encourage the users to send in these reports and help make Singularity more stable.

Thanks to Sovereign Engineer for providing some of the prebuilds used in the 64 bit Windows builds
Known limitation of the Windows 64 bit viewer is the lack of support for the Quicktime plugin which means that certain types of parcel media will not play. Streaming music and shared media (MoaP) are not affected and will work fine.
More Opensim conformity (Lirusaito)
Added camera presets to the quick preferences panel. (Lirusaito)
Allow ctrl/shift-scroll wheel to adjust camera offset. (Lirusaito)

Shift-clicking in the center, “hole”, of the pie menus now returns to the previous pie menu when there is one, otherwise it closes the menu. (Lirusaito)
Context (dropdown) menus can now be used instead of pie menus. Setting is in Preferences -> System. (Lirusaito)
