I just wanted to say that the new update (1.12) seems to be the most solid yet. (Fingers crossed) Went hours without a crash. Thank you!

BTW - Thanks for making the camera controls stay open. Yippieeee!

I will add a congrats to that also.

Even tho the roll out was a little shakey I have discovered a few nice things in 1.12 that have made life easier.

Unlimited selection distance - didnt think i would use it until i did one of my classic mistakes and got a typo when entering a manual coordinate change.
Normally the object zooms off to 2 or 4 in one of the sim corners and I have to go look for it - with unlimited range I kept selection and just corrected the typo, got the object straight back where it should have been.

Unlimited cameras ( I know people are moaning about privacy ) - but from a build point of view it is great - I can now sit on a chair and look and mod my build from any angle ( saving the cam coords as I go on a HUD so I can come straight back there later )
Saved me a lot of time.

The new script - compiling straight away and saying "hello avatar" - thought "oh dear" when I first saw it, but when I heard those same words in the middle of my shop today I had the chance to keep an eye on someone compiling a script right next to one of my vendors.......

Only down side is the snapshot - unless i keep the freeze frame selected my client crashes after every shot.

And I may just be imagining things - but SL does seem a tad faster.

So a thumbs upp from me so far with this one.

I'm a snapshot freak too Adriana, and I was crashing after 2 or 3 pix too.

Thumbs up for the update other than that.

I like the latest update too, except for one EXTREME PROBLEM it generated.
