There is a Wednesday roll out. The RC channels Blue Steal and La Tigre are getting the same maintenance package, I think. Caleb is clear. I had to read the version numbers to decide. While Magnum is getting a new package with the same version number as Blue and Tigre.

This package has Minor internal changes and Tool Tip/Constant text fixes.

PS: Fix for BUG-18251, BUG-10979, and a cosmetic fix for Bento attachment points, per Simon Linden.

PPS: One crash fix, and some anti-griefing stuff.

PPPS: The griefing fix is changing ways the region works to try and stay running when attacked. Simon Linden: no, it’s nothing externally visible.

Well yay! I made it into the ADITI grid. The last couple of weeks there has been a problem logging into ADITI. Enough so that it has been a common question in the SL Forum ANSWERS section and a topic in various in-world groups.

The subject even came up in the Project Bento Meeting. The Lindens there, several, did not know there was a problem. They assured us it was not intentional. But, a couple of people had logged into ADITI prior to coming to the Bento meeting. Afterward I logged in for the Beta Server meeting. So, the problems may be over…

The video is just a look at the group meeting.
