Howdy!
We're planning to release version 1.11 on Wednesday July 12th, 2006 pending final verification of the changes. Second Life will be unavailable from 7:00 AM to 12:00 PM PDT/SLT for the update. New client software will be required to access 1.11.
We've had the Preview grid up and running early builds of 1.11 for over a week now, but we encourage you to check it out yourself if you haven't. Grab a Second Life viewer for the preview from: http://secondlife.com/community/preview.php. (We also have a preview for a forthcoming release tentatively numbered 1.12, but please try out 1.11 first.)
1.11 is planned to include:
* Zoomable UI (check out Preferences > Graphics > UI Size)
* Improved snapshot functionality
* Eyedropper tool for picking colors and textures
* Single-gesture pie menu (down, drag, up, instead of two clicks)
* Tear off menus
* Keyboard focus improvements
* Added Help > Bumps, Pushes and Hits which shows recent actions
* Find renamed to Search; now defaults to searching all content types
* Lots of bug fixes (my favorite: stars are back!)
Full release notes to follow just before the release.
Have fun!
