Second Life and Virtual Worlds
Things about SL
There is no roll to the main channel this week. See DEPLOYS. The package running on the RC channels last week did not promote. The RC package did update and will roll out tomorrow, Wednesday. The bug found is: Fix for BUG-37573 “Rez silently fails on RC Magnum, RC LeTigre and RC BlueSteel regions”
The main viewer remains 4.06.315555.
This meeting ran 38 minutes. The last 12 being mostly a search for the Simple Inventory Management Viewer. A 2010 project in the version 3.2 era. Not information most of us care about. Kitty Barrnett was hoping to use it as a starting point for a inventory related project.
Second Life Maintenance Viewer version 4.0.7.318189 – Updated Friday. It is looking good as likely to promote to main viewer in week 31. It depends on how it does over the weekend. As of Friday Oz was cautious optimistic it would promote.
Firestorm is expected to release a new version Sunday, 7/31. But, it may get delayed a week. Everything depends on developers and QA testers.
I haven’t seen the rash of wiki changes that usually proceeds a release. So, other than the source being generally reliable, I have no other evidence the release is happening.
But, one is due and soon.
A lot was written a few weeks ago about the instability in the Second Life™ Lindex. Darrius Gothly wrote: The Math Behind the LindeX. It has enough misconceptions I am moved to provide a counter point and more accurate information.
I’m moved to do it at this time because of a recent post in the forum. Some one thought selling L$ at L$265/US$1 on July 29 was setting the price to high… high!?! No that is pretty low, for a seller.
Today (7/26) about 2:30 PM near the peak login time for SL, Hair Fair (SLURL) has about 35 people per region. This means you can get in easily.
So, the rush may be over. If you haven’t bought a new ‘do’, help the kids and buy one.
There is no roll out to the main channel this week. There is a package rolling to the RC channels Wednesday. This package is described as: Minor internal logging changes.
The main viewer is version 4.0.6.315555. No change since last week.
RC Second Life Maintenance Viewer version 4.0.7.317689 – This is a new version. Last week 4.0.7.317394.
Second Life Project Bento Viewer version 5.0.0.317597 – No change since last week. I doubt we will see any change until Vir Linden returns from vacation.
Second Life Project VLC Media Plugin Viewer version 4.0.6.316258 – No change.
Second Life Project VOB Viewer version 4.0.6.316422 – No change.
Rumor is there will be a Firestorm Viewer update yet this month.
