Release Notes for Second Life 1.17.0(107) June 1, 2007
=====================================
New features:
* Group voice chat is available. This enables group voice conversation between avatars all across the grid, no matter where avatars are located in relation to each other.
* Group voice chat is available for both "formal" Second Life groups and ad hoc groups (as is the case for text chat).
* Group voice chat for "formal" Second Life groups can be initiated by clicking on the Groups tab in the Chatterbox and double-clicking on the group with which you'd like to chat.
* Group voice chat with two or more friends can be initiated by clicking on the Friends tab in the Chatterbox, selecting multiple friends from the list, and clicking the "Call/IM" button.
* If you were speaking in a spatial voice channel prior to joining a group voice chat, you will return to the same spatial voice channel after leaving the group voice chat.
* The Talk button on the Voice tab contains a volume indicator (a dot to the right of the button text "Talk"

that shows how loudly YOU are speaking. Green indicates a normal volume, red indicates too loud a volume (a standard across speaking indicators for voice).
* Volume control and mute options are disabled on the "Near Me" tab in the Chatterbox when your own name is selected in the list of speakers.

Known Issues
* Users do not see a notification or visible invitation to group voice conversations. We expect this to be fixed in the next release, so users can accept or reject calls and receive feedback that they've successfully joined.
* Private voice chat with a single other user is not yet implemented.

The ChatterBox, owing to its immense size, is an abomination.

Yeah, I hated the chatterbox. I don't understand why it has to take up half my screen like that, and have massively ugly cut off letters.

Other than that, I enjoyed voice =D

Is there any point in me bothering to download and try this, or am I still locked out of the Beta Grid for being too new for the last snapshot?

I don't know. I don't see a snapshot date on the download page. Perhaps you could download it and try and let us know if it worked?

From what I've heard they're going to be updating the beta grid snapshot on Monday. Just the inventory and accounts though. So if you have items you want to keep pack them up into a box and drop them on a sim that won't autoreturn until after the update so you can pick them up later. Pulveria has 12hour auto return and Luskwood will have autoreturn off during the update so those are probably the best places.

It looks as if they updated more than just accounts and inventory. So far I have been unable to retrieve any of the boxes I left at three locations. It looks like the grid has been wiped completely.

I'm also showing a zero L$ balance.
