Hello all.

Next week we have a big day of updates penciled in for Thursday/ Friday.

So I thought perhaps a quick list is anticipated to be arriving could be released to the forum folk:

• Grid wide IM's incorporating Teravus's work on grid wide Instant Messaging so you can send an IM to a friend on the other side of the grid!
• Scultpy physics (yes some regions have this now but a better ODE version will be enabled on all regions). This means scultped objects will have their buonds determined likely by 64 vertices.
• Grid Wide Presence. -> Know if your friend is online on any region across the grid. (Part of Teravus Message server work - Thank you)
• Last known position. After logout your last known position is recorded against your profile so when you log back into the grid you'll be where you were last known.
• Possible now more corn fields? (no more being sent to 0,0,0 or some unknown place after teleport).
• Various fixes for in world audio surrounding llLoopSound & volume.
• llOwnerSay, LLEuler3Rot Fix, llGetStartParameter, llTargetOmega complete.
• Various Avatar Animation Fixes.
• Appearance Persistance fixes, including attachment persistence fixes?** (yes we have some persistence now this is a further improvement (builds on the work from sdague, justincc opensim with new MSSQL support and table data)
• Fix Take a Copy, Fix to a bunch of inventory permissions.(thanks Melanie)
• More ground work towards in world play money.
• More ground work towards transferable land parcels (in world vs the webform which is about to be released)(Stage 1 of Land Parcel transfer).

Private Clusters:

We have delayed the 'delivery' of private clusters to next weekend. In light of the major updates due next week. We have decided to take the opportunity to deliver the Private clusters at the same time as the new code. (So new PrivCluster owners will get a much better code release on their regions from the beginning).

When will they be available? This Saturday we will release the new Private Cluster configuration pruchasing options into the Land Store. Delivery of all Private Clusters ordered 'before' Friday noon will be delivered and online for Saturday morning.

Further information about Private Clusters will be made available on a new page on the website 'Private Clusters' (easy to remember).

I hope this information is useful please feel free to comment below or make any suggestions.

Kind Regards,

1. First Answer. - YES, the servers are actually ready to go. And online atm. They're just blank ready to have configurations inserted, so we'll be able to bring them on pretty quickly. So private cluster's will be quick to go.

2. If you're region toolbox doesn't have everything correct by the end of this weekend please email. As we're really close to synchronised, and expect to finish this tommorrow.
