[Opensim-dev] Release and pre-release announcement for OpenSimulator

[Diva Canto]

Hi everyone.

This is an announcement of new releases for OpenSimulator, specifically 
0.8.1.2 and 0.8.2.0-rc1.As usual, the release packages can be found in [1].

0.8.1.2 is cut from the 0.8.1 branch with a couple of bug fixes over the 
0.8.1 release. You may remember that we did a previous 0.8.1.1 in 
between that fixed a nasty bug related to primitive assets. Hopefully 
everyone upgraded their 0.8.1 installations. If not, please upgrade now 
to 0.8.1.2, which also future-proofs your 0.8.1 installations, so that 
they work without any issues with newer simulators (particularly 
important in open/hyper grids).

0.8.2.0-rc1 is the first release candidate for the upcoming major 
release 0.8.2.0, which has been in the works since March. The release 
notes can be found in [2]; the notes are still a work in progress, but 
the major changes are described there. We appreciate people trying the 
release candidate out and reporting any issues back to us via mantis.

Note that none of these have the avination code donation yet. That will 
be 0.8.3.

Best,
Diva
