The main channel got an update today (Tuesday). This is the package that ran on the RC channels the previous week. With the changes:

Follow up to fix BUG-3286 “Can’t move object” fail notifications
- More cosmetic fixes pending
Enhanced logging
Minor internal server enhancements

And Simon Linden told us there were fixes to chat IM’s. Those may have been made in parts of the backend of the system and not in the server/simulator. Hard to know.

The update and rolling restarts were done by 8:30 AM PST/SLT.

The three RC channels will get a new package Wednesday (2/8). The packages is reported as being almost the same as this week’s update:

The new package rolling out to the main grid’s RC channel has a fix that should make offline IMs and group notices a bit more reliable. That comes from Simon Linden. I didn’t see anything about it in the server version release notes.

There will be no Server/Scripting meeting next Tuesday (2/7). A Linden Lab meeting conflicts with the User Group time. Simon wasn’t giving us any information as to what the Linden meetings was about, other than it was NOT a feature summit. But, new features will likely be discussed at some point.

I thought we would be in the no change window all this week. But, the Lindens have decided to roll last week’s RC update to the main channel… or they automated the forum posting like they did the status reports… naw.

The package rolling to the main channel is listed as having ‘improved internal server logging’. So, it makes sense to me that there is little likelihood of new bugs being introduced by adding and changing logging features. The week in testing probably revealed no performance change problems for this package. So, why not roll it out?

Viewers

The main viewer updated to the Project Bento viewer last week, 5.0.0.321958. No change from last week.

RC Second Life Maintenance Viewer version 5.0.1.322219 is an update from last week’s 4.1.3.321792. This probably just catches this version up with the Bento release.

Second Life Project 360 Snapshot Viewer version 4.1.3.321712 No change from last week.

Rumor is Firestorm will release TODAY….
