SecondLife is getting ready to roll out Dazzle, but there’s a workaround for the biggest complaint

The latest round of Release Candidates for the SecondLife viewer have been including the Dazzle “skin”, and yesterday they rolled out Release Candidate Viewer 1.20 RC5. Along with all of the other complaints about the new series of RC, including why haven’t they fixed the invisible skirt issue, one issue seems to be almost unanimously hated: The Dazzle skin is fugly! Luckily there’s a way to get rid of the hideous Dazzle skin.

Windlight is now a Release Candidate!

I wasn’t able to get on SecondLife yesterday, but today I found out some awesome news! SecondLife has taken the most recent First Look Windlight client, updated a few things, fixed a few bugs, and presto! We have SecondLife 1.19.1 RC0, complete with Windlight!

SecondLife 1.19.0.x is no longer an RC

Last evening LindenLabs finally took the 1.19.0.4 client that many of us have been sing in Release Candidate form for some time now and gave it an official release. There are some nice fixes, but they have definitely published some changes that are pissing people off. (I would have blogged it last night but the announcement was kind of buried on the blog and I didn’t see it until I fired up Thunderbird to check my RSS feeds this morning.)

To add insult to injury, there were some security issues in the 1.19.0.4 release, so they quickly pushed out version 1.19.0.5 to fix them, as well as some annoying issues from early RC versions that hadn’t gotten fixed yet.

Once more with feeling: SecondLife pushes out Release Client 4 for their version 1.19.0 viewer

LindenLabs is ever so close to releasing the SecondLife 1.19.0 software to everyone, but they fixed a few more bugs and want to try a fifth Release Candidate before officially releasing 1.196.0. (They started with RC0, which is why the fifth RC is numbered RC4 rather than number five.)

As we’ve said before, RC4 is test software and not to be used by the general public yet. There are still bugs that could cause major problems, (Blahblah softwaretestercakes.)

SecondLife does it again. There’s yet another Release Candidate available

Ignoring their history of problems following software releases on Fridays, LindenLabs released RC3 of the SecondLife 1.19.0 this evening.

Lindens bring out two more test versions of SecondLife

Before the week closed the devs at Linden Labs rolled out another new 1.19.0  Release Client, as well as a new Windlight First Look client based on the new RC code.

The Lindens have been busy. We have yet another Release Candidate for SecondLife

Tuesday I told you about the first Release Client for SecondLife version 1.19.0 (RC0), and they’ve already fixed a bunch of bugs. The result is the second Release Client, SecondLife 1.19.0 RC1.

SecondLife rolls out new Windlight preview

Earlier this morning I posted that there was a new SecondLife Release Candidate, and now I’m happy to say that they’ve rolled out a new preview of their Windlight client that includes the 1.19.0 code.

SecondLife rolls out 1.19.0 Release Candidate

After jumping the gun last week, Linden Labs has released the first Release Candidate (RC) for SecondLife version 1.19.0 today. They fixed a ton of bugs, but there are some changes you definitely need to know about.
