This alone makes it worthwhile. No more trying to decide between wings, a necklace, a furry avatar or pierced nipples! I can have them all! *looks at spine attachment point as it quivers in anticipation of all the extra work*



** You will see a confirmation dialog with a "don't ask me again" checkbox to confirm replacing the existing item

You will still have to decide between them, you'll just get a confirmation now when deciding :p

1.9 should really scare everyone!

You see, SL releases are like Star Trek movies. The odd numbered ones all suck, and the even numbered ones are okay. Think about it...

1.2 - smooth
1.3 - OMG initial permissions problems OMG
1.4 - smooth
1.5 - OMG permissions
1.6 - smooth
1.7 - OMG sim back end textures OMG
1.8 - smooth
1.9 - OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG

The extra "OMG" was in honor of HoseQueen.

Regards,

I beg to differ :) The move to 1.2 from 1.1 was a rather dramatic and controversial change. The taxation-based resource limitation system was ripped out in favor of the land-based limitation system. In the past your land's prim limit wasn't the determining factor in how much you could have rezzed at any given time - it was based on how much L$ you were making. This lead to conflicts when several successful individuals lived within the same sim, people wanted prims, so they "banked" them, hogging them, and eventually locking others out of building within that sim (we still had the 10k per-sim prim limit).
