-Welcome to OpenSim 0.7.2. Despite being a point number upgrade, this is actually quite a major release, incorporating a large number of fixes and improvements made since the release of OpenSim 0.7.1.1. The major changes are listed in the sections below. In particular, this release incorporates experimental support for meshes as used by the latest version 3 Linden Lab viewers.

-As ever, OpenSim is a highly complex piece of 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 on Linux/Mac) can produce unexpected or unstable behaviour. If it breaks you get to keep both pieces.

 == Backwards Compatibility Notices ==
-* Due to a libomv bug fix, teleports in this release are incompatible with OpenSim 0.7.0.2 and earlier. This affects primarily Hypergrid teleports, since simulators within the same grid tend to be all in the same version. Teleports to OpenSim 0.7.1 and 0.7.1.1 should work.

 === Hypergrid ===
-* Hypergrid friends, landmarks, lures and instant messages support added. Please bear in mind this is experimental (as is the hypergrid in general) and may not always work. This should be compatible with the Hypergrid found in OpenSim 0.7.1 and 0.7.1.1.

 * Issue fixed where the creator and owner of all prims created by foreign users was shown as "Unknown User".
 * Tell the user if a teleport fails because it is over the 4095 region co-ordinate limit.

 * LSL integers can now start with a leading + sign.
 * Viewer crashing issue with llDialog() boxes fixed.
-* "DeleteScriptsOnStartup" option added to [XEngine] section of OpenSimDefaults.ini. If this is set to true, scripts are deleted on restart so any changes to OpenSim code do not cause a problem. If this is set to false, old DLLs are used, which results in a much faster startup.
