Second Life and Virtual Worlds
April Linden has posted about Second Life’s down time last Tuesday. See: A Play-by-Play Retelling of Yesterday’s Downtime. I enjoy hearing what’s up with the system when there are problems.
This week there are no roll outs to either the main or RC channels. That says there will be none of the normally planned region restarts this week.
The main viewer is version 4.0.7.318301. No change since last week. This seems to be the least crashy of the viewers I’m using.
Is there a roll to the main channel this morning? There was a release candidate running on the RC channels this last week. But, my in-home restart tracker and the Grid Status page do not show a restart on the main channel this morning (7:25 AM SLT/PT).
There is no update in the Second Life Server – Deploys thread.
Grid Status shows a schedules restart for the RC channels tomorrow, Wednesday. But, is this a real event or just an automated post from a standing schedule? No way to tell.
My guess is something didn’t work as expected in the RC package running last week. It will get a revised version tomorrow. And there will be no roll to the main channel.
The main channel got a new package this Tuesday. This is the package that has minor internal changes. These are usually security and logging things. This particular version of the package was delayed a week to fix for BUG-37573 “Rez silently fails on RC Magnum, RC LeTigre and RC BlueSteel regions.”
The RC channels remain running the same package. No new package.
The main viewer is still version 4.0.6.315555.
A new post appeared in the SL Blog, 8/2 @ 9:33 AM… hmmmm… See: Recent Second Life Developments – What’s New and What’s Coming!
Project Bento is the first mention. If you have been following you know Project Bento is nearing a point where the viewer can promote to RC status.
