* Objects attached from Inventory now remember their last attachment point
* Fixed a typo in Classifieds interface
* Fixed an issue with link-distance rules not working
* Land owner overlay colors are now correct after teleport
* File > Save Texture As... now saves to correct filename

SetText on Prims in HUD
11-09-2005 09:01
I love SL again.....
thats it... I love it! SL just like microsoft, always wait till service pack 2 before installing!
Although my poor scripting buddies who are working on a HUD for Minerva (using xyText) will be sick! LOL

Aliasi, this makes me smile!
It's certainly a start (DAMN FOOT SHADOWS, SCROO 'EM!) and I feel we're blessed. I'd like to give thanks for this, because I really did send in SL Forums links with bug reports showing how many Residents cared about this, even over time it started to get sorta tiring... but then a new energy thrust was needed. A termite that continues to eat at your walls is still a pest. I'd like to thank all of you who recently posted to the Foot Shadows threads, because I believe it really made a difference. Osprey, your can's effects from the future are starting to manifest in the present. Canya feel it??? It's... dare I say... one step in the right direction. Of course I'm excited about all the other new additions too. Someday, someday... I might as well 2086 this for future ref. Art: Ben Beacon

These are cute and all; but a far cry from the kind of panic causing features that warrent a Holy Crap thread.

You do realise of course, that this being SL, they've actually removed our feet and left the shadows.

And actually, just as some people were "eh" at rotatable avatar attachments or HUD, there are certain people who've been waiting for this for a long damn while, and others who were "what's the big deal, it's just shadows!"

It does appear however that there's a link between foot-shadows and teleporting.
