is there a way to backtrack version release dates?
I have been looking in the archives for the blog but that doesn't seem to help.
anyone know of an area that we can look at a specific date and see which version was being used on that date?

I don't know... The oldest install I still have on my drive is 1.13.3.2, but that's not it since that one was from Mar 2007 and I've been playing (in my primary account) since Jun 2006.
[EDIT] It appears that I started with release 1.10.3 _____________________

1.4.something, I think.
Not too long after that we got a new prim shape, the ring, which I remember very well, and which probably made me think new prim-shapes came along fairly frequently. _____________________

Version 1.2 brought huge changes to the world, resulting in a complete social reorganization. Some say that after 1.2 it was "all about the money". 1.2 also gave a major directional change to SL, having a major impact on the way economy would develop.
Outline of Changes in 1.2: * Taxes were done away with and replaced by new land model. * Land was taxed in a higher manner, residents were given the option to pay extremely high L$ rates per month, or in "lesser"-cost USD payments. * Prims were divided between land owners based on parcel size (eliminating "prim hogs"  .* Improved interface and the ability to change its color via colors.ini. * Scripters given the ability to create dialogs via llDialog _____________________

I wish I could say I have been here since the start of SL
I think I actually checked out the game back when, but never actually tried it, prolly the fee that was involved back there, not sure. I soooo wish I could go back in time though. I used to play something worlds, can not remember the name of it it also allowed you to build and such just not to the extreme SL does _____________________

Easy way to figure out your starting version:
Go back through old forum posts to those that were made around your start time. (old general forum here, for those older than 9/11/06) /108/1.html Somewhere within a two or three week period will be a series of posts along the lines of: 1) WTF! New update sucks big weenies@!!111 2) Vote here to roll back to _______ 3) Anyone else totally borked wtih _____???!!111 That should tell you what version we are on at that time.... _____________________

1.5.7
07-14-2007 16:10
Release notes 1.5.7 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Second Life 1.5.7 Nov 10, 2004 ============================= - Fixed cracks in terrain at sim boundaries. - Group IM's now more reliable. - Fixed a bug that would cause sim-wide prim counts to be wrong after selling one of a set of parcels in a sim. - Fixed a bug that would cause some objects to be deleted out of order in the event of a parcel over its prim allocation. - Liaisons' online status is always visible, even when they are in non-visible estates. - When you change group or everyone permissions on an inventory item those permissions are applied (to all the objects in that item) when it is rezzed. - Residents can now be a member of up to 15 groups (previously 10). WOO! WOO! 15 groups!! To find the release notes for your join date, enter the url below. /32/1.html _____________________

This is handy for this discussion: http://slhistory.org/index.php/Release_Notes
I started on 1.8.3; 1.8.4 came out two days later. I'm such a newbie. Mari _____________________

There's probably a direct corralation between the number of posts placed and the version you started with..but don't panic I wont ask anyone to work it out.
I've done 36 posts (37 now) and so you can probably guess (or the really smart folk will have probably calculated it) I started with version 1-17-0-12 Then I got 1-17-2..but it didn't work very well so I went back to 1-17-0-12 Then they brought out the latest (that's 1-18-0-6)..and we didn't have any choice but to use it..just as well it works better than 1-17-2. The correlation is 17.02(pi x log of 1.112)..honest it is... |

The very next update broke so many things..  Then again.. maybe 1.6 wasnt that stable. I Just remember the game running alot smoother back then. |
