Things about SL
No roll out to the main channel this week. All three RC channels will get a new package. It will have a fix for Bug 11163 – llHTTPRequest returns 400 from some sims and not others. There are also some minor ‘improvements’, whatever those may be.
The main release viewer is 4.0.3-312816. This is the HTTP/Co-routines viewer that rolled out not long ago. So, no change.
Today I was logging into ADITI, the preview grid. It has had its problems. Today was a mess. A combination of things happening on my computer and the latest Bento Project Viewer combined with ADITI problems meant I ended up spending 45 minutes getting logged in.
We knew from people’s experiences last week that AGNI and ADITI inventories were getting confused. So, today I set my Project Bento viewer up to use a cache separate from the main and RC viewers. I’ll use the Bento exclusively on ADITI. The main, RC, and other project viewers I’ll only use on AGNI.

The original problem was passwords were not updating and there were problems with inventory in ADITI. The Lindens have been in the process of fixing those problems. In the process they ran into a new problem. The fix came from trying to synchronize your main grid’s (AGNI) inventory with your ADITI inventory. In the previous update process the ADITI inventory was just replaced with the AGNI inventory. Sync’ing is way better.
Servers There was a server roll to the main channel. This package has a fix for BUG-11163 llHTTPRequest – returns 400 from some sims and not others and minor internal improvements. There is no new package for the RC channels. They are running the same package as the main channel. No word on whether we will have a … Read more
