[Opensim-users] Warning, one month Warning

[Teravus Ovares]

Just a FYI,

I'm going to stick to my commitment last year and not do an April 1st
joke myself this year.    That doesn't stop another developer from
doing one though.    So, for any mission critical implementations, be
sure you're using a 'Release' version.

Regards

Teravus
