[Opensim-dev] Pre-release announcement for OpenSimulator

[Diva Canto]

Hi everyone.

This is an announcement of the *second* release candidate for the much 
awaited OpenSimulator 0.9, opensim-0.9.0.0-rc2. As usual, the release 
packages can be found in [1].

0.9.0.0 includes all the code donated by Avination about one year ago, 
as well as several more improvements made since then. The code was a bit 
unstable as we worked through thousands of merged commits, and 
correspondent regressions, but we feel it is now stable enough to cut a 
release out of it. Many people have already been using it for a few 
months, including OSGrid.

rc2 contains many fixes identified in rc1, including some important 
permissions issues.

We're still working on the release notes [2].

We appreciate people trying out this release candidate and reporting any 
issues back to us via mantis. We are particularly sensitive to 
regressions -- things that worked in 0.8.2 and stopped working in 0.9.0.

Best,
Diva
