[Opensim-dev] OpenSimulator 0.7.3-rc2 released

[Justin Clark-Casey]

Hi folks.  OpenSimulator 0.7.3-rc2 (Release Candidate 2 for the forthcoming 0.7.3) is now available at [1].  Release 
notes are at [2].

There are actually quite a few changes compared to 0.7.3-rc1.  These include SQLite support for telehubs, improvements 
to avatar movement where neighbouring regions are running on different machines and support for running OpenSimulator as 
a 64-bit process on Windows (using OpenSim.exe rather than OpenSim.32BitLaunch.exe).  In fact, this release is 
functionally identical to git master code up until commit b48b0b1e (Sat 25 Feb 2012).

As ever, this is alpha software so only major regressions from previous OpenSimulator releases will be resolved in some
way (where WONTFIX is a possible resolution).  If you are planning to upgrade to OpenSimulator 0.7.3 then I strongly
suggest that you give this a test spin and report any major regressions via the Mantis.

This release does incorporate some region database changes, though these are additions and so should be backward
compatible with older OpenSimulator releases.  Nonetheless, I don't recommend trying a release candidate on anything
other than a test grid.
