Second Life 1.10.4.0 Preview is out, but according to the preview page, Linux client alpha installer not found!
After karen's show of support, I had high hopes that we would be included in the next preview. I guess we'll just have to cross fingers again.
Hopefully it was just an oversight.

Me too. I get the feeling, since it came so soon after the last update, that it is a minor, cleanup release, and has to do with better support for the upgraded server SW. In other words, the effort of setting out the linux preview exceeds the effort put in to changing the client altogether  And like you, I HOPE this is not a Regression to the Bad Old Days

I just thing someone forgot to upload it or include it in the build. If this was a regression to the Bad Old Days, then there would be no mention of the Linux client at all!

Quote from the Preview Release Notes: Linux client fixes: No linux client specific fixes in this release Great that we are mentioned, but - I hope that does not mean we only get a preview client when the ARE Linux Specific Fixes. In the past we have had Linux Specific Crashes in new versions, and the preview version is good to report / prepare for this in advance of the Release Date.

Has anyone thought about poking Karen with a nicely-worded IM or email?
She's really friendly, and should fix this, or tell us why there is no build up.

Well, the Linux preview is now up. But I can't login. (and, yes, I did remember to use --siva on the commandline)

Looking at the FAQ, I think maybe I'm too young  I can't find the information about when the grid was split but I probably joined after that. ah well. |

It's here! I am SO delighted  Isn't it great how far we have come? We USED to worry about getting a client AT ALL Thanks, Karen! And thank YOU, Zi, for getting the ball rolling so magnificently P.S.: Did you notice it is 1.10.4. 1? That might be the reason for the late posting of the linux preview...
