Which town meeting - Cory's? or Phil's, which was two weeks ago?

I was at both... Cory announced 1.3's features, and you're right that was 2 weeks ago. I could have sworn I remember seeing him say preview was going to be out last week... ah, well..what else is new...

Sometime this week is what I've had confirmed by Lindens...so, either Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday. Hoping for Wednesday.

and, that's again further speculating that it's actually going to include a mac version concurrent to the windows version...
I will.. just.. have to ... be... patient.

In the meantime, as I was at the show and tell last night, I was going through the .7 FPS hell of trying to turn off.. everything... in the debug menu, and I noticed that the item "Avatar Vertex shading (faster)" is in reality... incorrectly labeled. When it's checked, my machine is.. not faster, it's much slower. So, every time I load up before 1.3, this will be the first thing to get turned off.. then trees, then grass, (sigh) then this, then that..

Avatar vertex shading makes things much faster on cards that support it, and slower on cards that don't. I'm not sure if my card supports it, since turning it off doesn't seem to change the framerate.
