In our continuing effort to improve the Second Life experience we plan to release SecondLife 1.7.2 on Wednesday, November 9, 2005 (pending final verification of fixes). The grid will be down from 6am to 12pm SLT for this update. A new viewer will be required.
The major fixes in the new version are for issues with low simulator and viewer FPS. We are working diligently to resolve these problems as quickly as possible, although they may not all be addressed by this update. 1.7.2 is also scheduled to contain fixes for a problem with Mac clients crashing when opening or saving files as well as a problem saving textures using the File menu.
Release notes will be posted here in their entirety when the release is finalized.

We plan to shut the grid down at 4am SLT instead of 6am SLT for the 1.7.2 release. SecondLife should be open to all residents by 10am SLT.
