Changelog
This patch is a pre-patch for the next major update which is soon to follow. Some functionality has been disabled as they are currently not hooked up to a backend. We have been hard at work on the backend features for the platform to allow for proper handling of the entire metaverse. There are already some signs of this improved backend visible within this patch. This pre-patch is reducing a lot of the temporary backend that was in place. We are introducing a lot of improvements with this such as the high fidelity character versions, backend improvements to chat, many UI improvements and changes. Please stay tuned for the next release. Also due to recent changes to xcode from mac we are only releasing this update for windows.
