We’re excited to announce that a brand-new There.com client update will be available for download on Monday, November 10th! There will be a 30-minute outage at 12:00 PM Pacific/3:00 PM Eastern on Monday while our Staff deploys the client/server release. The first time you log in after the client release you should receive the automatic update.

This release includes the integration of ThereEdge 1.1.7, an incredible project developed by TheChaz that brings improvements and enhancements to the There client. Huge thanks to TheChaz for this invaluable contribution to the community!

What’s New in This Update?

  • Workaround added for text focus issues
  • Improved text scaling compatibility
  • Disabled SmartScreen reputation checks for local resources
  • macOS UI fixes now included
  • Message Bar now appears reliably at startup
  • WebView2 runtime locked to minimize freezing on Windows 11
  • Compass/Minimap now includes cross-island tracks
  • New Command/Shortcut bar with slash commands (see /help)
  • High-contrast nametag icons for better visibility

Make sure to join the BABS IM window during the Avie Sacrifice event in order to keep in touch with the host and event attendees while you tumble down the mountain. We will schedule two jumps during the 30-minute event. The first jump will be 5 minutes after the event starts, and the second jump will be 15 minutes after the start of the event.
