Update at 2014-10-08 18:19: release note links have been added.

Due to the wiki being read-only for the moment, the server release notes have not been posted.  However, the relevant details of the server updates are described below.

 

Second Life Server (main channel)

The main channel is getting the maintenance project that was previously on all three RC channels.  This project fixes a bug related to viewing parcel details in gaming regions.

Is there any sort of list out there of regions that are on the Snack RC? I'd particularly like to find out any in the Bay City area.

[Maestro Linden]

Thanks Damian, I've let support know about the date mistake.

Hi Marianne, there isn't a full list, but here are a few mainland Snack regions that come to mind:

• Denby
• Hippo Hollow
• Hippotropolis
• Testylvania Sandbox
• Dore
• Ahern
• Morris
• Bonifacio

You can set firestorm to notify you what RC channel you are on and it will alert you in chat if you change channels when crossing from one region to another. Preferences > move & view > notify if the simulator changes when changing the region. Not sure what other viewers have that feature though.

pssssst....there`s 2 snack regions north of bay city.:matte-motes-nerdy:

Here's a 'Bay City' region on Snack: Bay City - Sconset

Hi Maestro,

I've noticed that most of the "Open water" regions in the Blake sea regions.....are now using RC Snack server software.

I read some complaints about bad sim crossings in Vehicles  on those  Snack servers  on the Virtual World Sailing site

Howerver i went there today to test sim crossings with one of my Airlpane vehicles in those RC Snack servers regions.

(I was testing blake sea areas near Hollywood)

I found no  problems at all ...sim crossing seemed perfectly normal.

Thanks much!

(Odd choice. That one has a somewhat illegal 'bot farm on it) ;-)
