[Opensim-dev] A concern, before releasing 0.8.

[Spacefriends]

I also tested it and it works well. One thing .. Can this Message made be editable because i think that normal opensim Users do not know what a VarRegion is or what that message could mean. Or at least let the Message be that this region uses version 0.8.0 and/or higher and that Varregion is something like a non standard sized region. 

Just my 4 Cents and anyhow thank you for always great and fast support and all your time (to all devs) ... 

Best regards,
Wordfromthe Wise..
