[Opensim-users] OpenSim 0.7.1-rc1 available for download.

[Justin Clark-Casey]

Hi folks.  OpenSim 0.7.1-rc1 (release candidate 1) packages are now available for download from the following locations

http://dist.opensimulator.org/opensim-0.7.1-rc1-bin.tar.gz
http://dist.opensimulator.org/opensim-0.7.1-rc1-bin.zip

http://dist.opensimulator.org/opensim-0.7.1-rc1-source.tar.gz
http://dist.opensimulator.org/opensim-0.7.1-rc1-source.zip

The binary downloads are pre-configured for standalone, so it should be possible simply to download them and then run 
OpenSim.exe (or OpenSim.32bit.exe as appropriate).

I've done a basic sanity check (download and create one region and login) but if other people want to check them and 
report any problems then that would be grand.  I will place download links on the usual wiki page tomorrow (Friday) once 
they're known to be okay.  At that point I will also update wiki pages for the major configuration changes (chiefly the 
existence of OpenSimDefaults.ini).

This is the first release candidate for the 0.7.1 release, so this may not be its final form.  I've created a new 
0.7.1-rc1 category in Mantis for bug reports.  However, please only report significant regressions from earlier OpenSim 
releases in this category - as we're still an alpha project these are the only bugs that we are very likely to address. 
  Other bugs should be reported in the 'master' category as usual.

Since it's been a long time since the last release there are a very large number of changes.  There is a partial list at 
http://opensimulator.org/wiki/0.7.1_Release but various recent things probably still need to be added.

Best,
