It's a new/test/beta copy of SecondLife that you can use to test out new features and performance improvements. I like it - my FPS has gone up almost 50%.

So it's like a beta test for future updates?

Yep. The current one, now in it's 4th or 5th version, is focused on rendering improvements - probably the reason that my FPS has gotten so much better.

Edit your appearence, close and don't save. If it doesn't change how you look, put on a different shape and then change back. I have this issue with the main client all the time (for the last...*blinks* 6 months?)
I've not really found a good way to force it to fix (at least that I can remember at the moment) but as long as you don't save when you exit the edit appearence floater, you won't have to worry about it being changed for good.
