Beta versions and incremental updates will likely be missing unless we get more detailed info to fill in the gaps. The reason for this is that typically, it seems like incremental updates were pushed over the air via the client autoupdater, rather than an upgrade installer. It's possible upgrade installers were also offered, but as of 2022, these have not been located.

About

This is a complete version history for the WorldsAway client. Mac and Windows releases usually happened in tandem, up until WorldsAway 2.4 which was the final true build for the Mac client.

Beta versions and incremental updates will likely be missing unless we get more detailed info to fill in the gaps. The reason for this is that typically, it seems like incremental updates were pushed over the air via the client autoupdater, rather than an upgrade installer. It's possible upgrade installers were also offered, but as of 2024, these have not been located.

Resource Update History

If a release date and list of features exists for a resource update, they will be listed here. Please note, only public facing updates are likely to be mentioned here. It’s quite possible that other changes were made to things that end users were not aware of.

April 21 1998[1]

  • When selecting “Where is everyone?” from your avatars status menu, the total number of users online is now displayed.
  • The Turfs List feature is added.
  • The ability to manually add an avatar to the friends list was added. Previously, you had to have encountered an avatar and been in the same region as them in order to add them.

May 12 1998[2].

  • ESP Mail is introduced.

Clientside Tcl Updates

This section was compiled by comparing the clientside Tcl code for each WorldsAway object class and listing whether there were any changes made or not between each version that was released.
