__THIS WEEK__
We had a bunch of fixes scheduled for this week's release, but because of some conflicts with another project were able to implement only about half of them. These following issues were addressed with the 1.8.2(9) release:
* Tab and enter once again move cursor through fields in Edit pane
* Classified Ad locations now are shown with more precision on the World Map
* Debug > Show Updates option is once again functional
* New "recommended" Graphics Card Memory setting displayed for some system configurations
** Graphics Memory Size is determined by two things:
*** The amount of memory your graphics card has (VRAM)
*** The amount of system memory you have (RAM)
** A system that has lots of VRAM but little RAM, we will recommend a lower setting than your actual VRAM to improve performance:
*** For a machine with 256MB VRAM and 256MB RAM, the recommended Graphics Card Memory setting is 128MB
The fix for Show Updates promised last week has now shipped. Additionally, we improved the interface for our Graphics Card Memory setting to hopefully resolve the last of the issues introduced in 1.8.2(6).
The most important fix in this week's release was the speedy resolution to the bug introduced in 1.8.2(7) where you could no longer use the tab or the enter keys to move through the boxes in the Edit window.
__UPCOMING FIXES__
We are working on fixes for the following issues for the next release of Second Life:
* Avatar hip movement looks wrong when using uploaded animations
* You should only be able to zoom in on a HUD attachment if you are in Edit mode
* Linked prim sometimes disappears after an object update (llSetColor, llSetLinkColor) in complex scripted objects
As I've said before, it's always possible that we will NOT be able to fix these issues in the next release. However, after resolving our internal issue with the latest project, they can once again take center stage!
