In our continuing effort to improve the Second Life experience, version 1.8.4 will be released on Wednesday, March 1, 2006. The grid will be down from 7am to 12pm PT/SLT. During this time we will also be doing maintenance on our database machines. Therefore, the website will be inoperable for some period of time during the outage. A new viewer will be required to use this new version.
NOTE: Want more Second Life? We encourage all users born before February 1, 2006 to visit the 1.9.0 preview grid now as well as during the downtime. Please visit http://secondlife.com/community/preview.php for details!
