Second Life maintenance instead of fixes?

"Second Life maintenance on Wednesday, July 26th, 2006"

Great... I know SL can always use maintenace... but... what about fixing things the most recent update broke?

We're talking about Preferences that don't stick accross logins (forcing folk with slower systems to continuouisly reset shiny and near by light objects), the viewer defaulting back to the primary user when attemtping to log on with a different account, a Map that won't accept user defined TP points by clicking on it, LMs that have their order whacked in the Map, textures that don't sort in the texture editor correctly, and a host of other issues that I and other folk are filing Bug Reports on regularly.

In the past, it seemed, at least a few of these issues would be addressed with a new update the next week.

So.. why is there "maintenance" happening instead of getting the darn Viewer working proper... at least to the level that prior releases were "kinda" working? Even a fix of one broken "feature" would be good.

Is that too much to ask? Fix one broken thing?


:(

Good day to you Sami!

Maintenance, by its very definition, isn't incompatible with fixing or making things more stable.

So in addition--

I've made numerous recent posts in SL Answers about some of the specific bugs you mention. I have personally experienced them too. For example:

/139/1d/122120/1.html#post1156100

[UPDATE] That landmarks-out-of-order bug has already been fixed internally.

And more will be fixed. Yes, they will be fixed. What will be fixed? Release notes to come. A lot of them are being collected right now to be rolled into future releases, one after another, as soon as possible.

Support: Known Issues shows what we've got on the table.

Please keep watching: Announcements & News

You may also recall that there was an optional update just 4 days ago which fixed some broken stuff:

/3/0f/123062/1.html

Always more to come--we are terribly ongoing and progressive.

BTW, thanks for sending in your bug reports!
