Known Issues Update, April 1, 2006
We've worked hard to address many issues introduced in 1.9.0. We are working to resolve the following for our next release, 1.9.0(20), which will be released the week of April 3 (exact day not determined yet):

I guess I'm not seeing where this would be considered a joke, except for the obviously shortened known bug list...

* Second run_time_permissions event during llReleaseControls call

and this one I've experienced a lot:
* Object is still animating me after standing up

Heheh. I remember seeing that one on the list weeks ago. I'm still baffled.

Yay! They're fixing one of mine! Not that it does me much good without a way to make draggable HUD elements that actually behave right, but I'll take what I can get.

Now if only they'd get to my llTargetOmega submissions... :D

I've noticed this too...as well as run_time_permissions being called randomly on a changed(CHANGED_LINK) event. I worked around it with some extra checks, but I think someone at LL has a strange fetish for that event or there's something I'm missing.

It's not a joke, it's the real sad state of affairs. Moore's law of computing power says it doubles every 18 months, SL's law should say that the list of bugs doubles with every updates.
