Some rapid release day bug fixing has happened today, so we're planning to release Second Life 1.2.2 sometime tomorrow morning. It will have the following changes, and maybe one or two more if we can work them out tonight.
* 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.
Cheers,
James Linden
