Second Life is back online with the latest version, 1.10.1. You can use either the autoupdate utility or download the new version at the Second Life website.

Be sure to check out the new F1 help menu system, powered by Mozilla. It's our first step towards further Mozilla integration into the Second Life world.

We're still seeing a great deal of crashes in 1.10 that are directly caused by outdated graphics drivers. If you haven't done so yet, it's very important that you update your graphics drivers as soon as possible! More people with good graphics drivers means better crash report information, which in turn helps us improve how Second Life interacts with your hardware, and makes things better and more stable for everyone!

Once again, here are the 1.10.1 release notes:
