Second Life will be going down for about an hour to fix 1.2 release bugs. The patch fixes:

* The chat font size can be set to small, medium or large. Also, you can once again set the chat persist time in Preferences -> Chat.

* Taking an item into your inventory and changing the inventory sort order are now faster for people with very large inventories.

* Reduced the bandwidth consumption of objects with animating textures, particularly the wheels of vehicles. This was causing objects to load very slowly in the Oak Grove vehicle park.

* Passing objects with joints across the boundary between simulators will no longer crash the server.

* Attaching an object to yourself while someone is sitting on it no longer crashes the server.

* Simulator object limits correctly handle freeing and joining parcels.
