Second Life and Virtual Worlds
PS: Taylor.p points out that 6.4 was released last May.
Those playing with RLV will get notices that Open Collar has an update out, v6.4.0. Provided they have not turned off ‘notices’. The update is a bit different than other updates we deal with in Second Life™. The update will upgrade a range of RLV Relay attachments.
Oh, and it is free. There are more details on Open Collars “Update” page.
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.
Second Life Love Me Render Viewer version 5.0.2.323361 – No change, released late last week.
Second Life Maintenance Viewer version 5.0.2.323567 – This version has updated from 5.0.2.323359.
Second Life Project 360 Snapshot Viewer version 4.1.3.321712 – Still on hold.
Second Life Project Alex Ivy Viewer version 5.1.0.501863 – No change.
Black Dragon and Cool have new version out too.
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.
SL users have suffered from a problem with the NVIDIA driver, a blue colored world. I haven’t seen the problem, except in pictures. Whether you see the problem or not depends on your graphics settings. Having ALM enabled seems to eliminate the problem. So, while I can’t say this new driver version fixes the problem, it is worth a try.
Version 378.66 released 2/13. Download.
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:
The main channel got an update today (Tuesday). This is the package that ran on the RC channels the previous week. With the changes:
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 Daily Mail Online, a UK news organization, has an article on the state of bionic bodies. Forty years after the TV show the 6 Million Dollar Man, we are pretty much there.
