-Welcome to OpenSim 0.7.1. Despite being a point number upgrade, this is actually quite a major release, incorporating a large number of fixes and improvements made in the 8 months since the release of OpenSim 0.7.0.2. The major changes are listed in the sections below. In particular, this release incorporates support for media on a prim (moap) and meshes (though please note that this should be treated as STRICTLY EXPERIMENTAL since the Second Life mesh format is likely to be changed by Linden Lab soon, in such a way that old meshes cannot be seen by newer viewers). However, please be aware that there there are currently issues using Linden Lab's Viewer 2. The most serious issues are

 # Default appearance cannot be changed. This is because we do not yet bundle the minimum body part/clothing set (eyes, shape, skin, hair, pants, shirt) to satisfy viewer 2. One workaround is to first create the minimum part/clothing set with viewer 1. Another workaround is to use a web interface that creates a default avatar before login.

-As always, OpenSim is alpha software. It's likely but not guaranteed to work and various usage scenarios (standalone, grid, hypergrid, etc.) in combination with different dependencies (e.g. different versions of mono) can produce unexpected or unstable behaviour. If it breaks you get to keep both pieces.
