Planned Features
Version 7 is a major system update.
The goal of version 7 is to integrate major parts of YouMe3D::Collab, collaborative tools, including live screen and cam sharing.
Version 7 entered development state mid 2020.
Tech notes for 11+ y/o computers
Main stream Intel and AMD based computers built before end of 2009 may not support AVX SIMD instructions. Computers built earlier needed Netburst Technology, when only some high-end CPUs since around 2002 came with that feature.
In order to run YouMe3D::Collab on discontinued/old hardware the 32-bit legacy version still may work, if the CPU supports at least SSE2 instructions. See Windows 32-bit Legacy at the YouMe3D::Collab download page.

- Locked overhead view is the default view perspective, and the last chosen view will be applied at next start of the AW::Browser again.
