Servers
This week (Tuesday) the main channel is not being updated or restarted. The RC channels are getting an update and that requires a restart.

Servers
There seems to be a change in the Server updates side of things. Mazidox Linden is now writing the Deploys notice in the SL forum and conducting the Server Beta UG meeting. I like his style in handling the meeting.
The main channels are being restarted today. But, just restarted. No new package.
The RC channels will get a new package. But, as today is the first working day of this week, Mazidox did not have the release notes for the new package. We should see that later… today? this week?

No new stuff from the Server/Scripting UG.
There is no roll out to the main channel this week. Nor to the RC channels. However the RC channels are being restarted. Expect a new RC package next week.

Bits
Not much news coming out this week.
There is the Linden Valentine Party: Hug and Dunk Lindens on Valentine’s Day at Isle of View! There will be Lindens there again after 2 PM SLT.
Second Life: News, Bento…
There just isn’t much news this last week. There was no Server-Scripting (Tuesday), Content Creators (Bento – Thursday), or Sever Beta (Thursday) user group meetings. Seems the Lindens are tasked with being at internal meetings this week. Or… they are out protesting Trump…
We do have a new RC Viewer in Alternate Viewers, the Second Life Love Me Render Viewer version 5.0.2.323361.
According to the release notes:

Server
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:
Second Life News Update 2017 w05
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.
