I got a message when starting Siva about a version 1.10(6). Isn't the Siva preview version 1.11 which comes after 1.10(6)? ----- later ---------- I'm in this 1.10(6) preview which has the bump push hit info. Ah, I see, ... From: Joshua Linden
We're planning to release version 1.11 on Wednesday July 12th, 2006 pending final verification of the changes. Second Life will be unavailable from 7:00 AM to 12:00 PM PDT/SLT for the update. New client software will be required to access 1.11.
We've had the Preview grid up and running early builds of 1.11 for over a week now, but we encourage you to check it out yourself if you haven't. Grab a Second Life viewer for the preview from: [url= http://secondlife.com/community/preview.php. (We also have a preview for a forthcoming release tentatively numbered 1.12, but please try out 1.11 first.)
1.11 is planned to include:
* Zoomable UI (check out Preferences > Graphics > UI Size)
* Improved snapshot functionality
* Eyedropper tool for picking colors and textures
* Single-gesture pie menu (down, drag, up, instead of two clicks)
* Tear off menus
* Keyboard focus improvements
* Added Help > Bumps, Pushes and Hits which shows recent actions
* Find renamed to Search; now defaults to searching all content types
* Lots of bug fixes (my favorite: stars are back!)
Full release notes to follow just before the release.
Have fun!

I'm just hoping that they reason for this is that they want to delay 1.11 so they can seriously rework the messed up new snapshot interface, but still get the PvP stuff back in quickly.
Fingers crossed that they will realise that the new camera stuff, while it offers some great new functionality that will be really nice to have, also breaks the ability to fire off a quick snap while in the middle of a conversation / event / whatever.

They might want to have two mode for picture taking, a simple one that works exactly or close to what there is now, and an advanced.

Exactly my thoughts.
The way I see it, there are two totally different ways that people want to work with snapshots, a quick snap of something funny / memorable / abusive / whatever, and a carefully set up staged scene - be it a still life or a portrait.
This also equates to the difference between a compact camera (or camera phone) and a quality SLR camera in real life.
Two different tasks, two different techniques, two different tools.
