AvaStar Goes RC-1

2017/02/21 by Nalates Urriah

Today I see AvaStar has a release candidate out: AvaStar 2.0-RC1. This version is available to all AvaStar owners that have a current subscription. I’m unsure how that affects AvaStar 1.7 owners without a support subscription. The Plan is to have AvaStar 2.0 out in March 2017. Gaia is promoting this release a hot potato … Read more

Servers

There seems to be a change in the Server updates side of things. Mazidox Linden is now writing the Deploys notice in the SL forum and conducting the Server Beta UG meeting. I like his style in handling the meeting.

Love can go to hell in a broken heartbeat minute

The main channels are being restarted today. But, just restarted. No new package.

The RC channels will get a new package. But, as today is the first working day of this week, Mazidox did not have the release notes for the new package. We should see that later… today? this week?

Second Life: Adult Area – Bumrose Marina & Club

2017/02/20 by Nalates Urriah

I bounce around Second Life™ looking for interesting adult places. I found one. A really interesting woman had The Bumrose Marina & Club for adults listed in her picks. I teleported there. Arriving, I thought it was a small half region island with lots of places for spontaneous romance, sex, surfing, swimming, and boating.

However, Bumrose is a full region and has a sister region. As you explore you find it goes on and on. Looking at the world map… yikes… it’s like a hundred regions (literally) hooking together a giant archipelago. It isn’t all Bumrose. Most of the regions’ cousins are part of the Fruit Islands Estate.

Second Life Forum to Shutdown

2017/02/19 by Nalates Urriah

There is an announcement in the SL Blog telling us the Lindens are going to set the SL Forum to read only. Why? To upgrade the forum, blog, and everything… as best I can tell. See: A Fresh New Community Look is Just Around the Corner! Starting February 21, Tuesday, the forum will lock. They … Read more

Second Life: Third Party Developer’s Meeting 2017 w7

2017/02/18 by Nalates Urriah

There are 2 Maintenance viewers showing on the Alternate Viewers page. One with render changes (Love Me Render Viewe), one everything else (Maintenance Viewer).

The non-render change viewer has about 44,000 hours of run time logged. It currently has a better crash rate then default viewer. But, it isn’t enough hours to know how stable it actually is or if problems are hiding. That usually takes about 100,000 hours.

But, if the viewer continues to do as well for the next couple of weeks, it may roll out.

Work is progressing on 3 fronts in the Alex Ivy 64-bit viewer; process management changes that alter how updates work, Work on the Mac side to get Havok (SL physics engine) support, and a new structure for updating CEF, the video player used in the SL viewer.

Second Life Adult: Open Collar

2017/04/152017/02/16 by Nalates Urriah

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.
