The main channel got a new package: #17.05.05.326149. This version has some fixes for the Parcel Access Override feature.

Blue Steel and Le Tigre get a new package: #17.05.19.326482. This version fixes Parcel Access Override and  BUG-100704 “[Server] If Anyone Can visit is selected after Allow Group was set only group members can enter”

Magnum is to roll, but as of today, it hasn’t been decided which package.

Second Life AssetHttp Viewer version 5.0.6.326593 – This one updated from 5.0.5.325940.

Second Life Voice Viewer version 5.0.5.325998 – This one didn’t update this last week. The viewer has a higher crash rate than the Lindens think acceptable. So, they have been working to make it better. In general this version changes:

• Adds support for a higher quality voice
• Fixes the apparent position of the speaker in nearby voice
• Improves retry behavior when there are problems connecting or during temporary connection problems
• Logs more detailed information to the Lab for quantifying connection issues
• Improves security of the communication between the viewer and SLVoice
• Unrelated to voice, improves the validation of TLS certificates (security improvement)

Second Life Project 360 Snapshot Viewer version 4.1.3.321712 – Still no change. But, work is said to be progressing.

Second Life Project Alex Ivy Viewer version 5.1.0.505089 – No change from last week.

This week a package 17.05.05.326149 rolled out to the main channel. This package adds the server side of new Parcel Access Override for Estate Managers and Owners. Plus, support for the new Trash purging process. As yet we do not have the viewer side of the change for Parcel Access. The new Trash purging process is supported by the new default viewer.

Blue Steel and Le Tigre channels get the package 17.05.19.326482. This package includes the Parcel Access Override and a bug fix: BUG-100704 “[Server] If Anyone Can visit is selected after Allow Group was set only group members can enter“. This has created some confusion and locked some people out unintentionally.

The Magnum channel is supposed to get a package, but which has not been decided…

Oz Linden has his 64-bit viewer crash for the first time since he’s been using it. I’ve used it for weeks and only seen a couple of crashes.

The HTTPAssets Viewer got an update in week #20.

Voice is the same version. It has an ‘elevated’ crash rate. They haven’t yet figured out why. So, it won’t be promoting any time soon.

The maintenance viewer has the new Estate Manager controls. This is the more likely viewer to get promoted.

Expect a 64 bit RC release in a couple of weeks (#22 or #23). The last functional update has gone to QA. Expect it to update in week 21.

OK, we started out the day having no idea what was deploying this week. The Deploys thread had not updated as of 12:30 SLT 5/16. – OK, later in the day Caleb got the post stickied and out where people can find it.

We do know the server operating system update of the previous week on Le Tigre was rolled back.

My update tracking at my home, main channel, shows no restart today (2:40PM 5/16).

The Deploy post, now that Whirly pointed me to it and now that someone changed the stickiness of the posts, shows no roll for the main channel.
