Important: Apple OS X Lion is -not yet- supported by the Second Life Viewer. While we fully intend to support this latest OS X release, we are still testing and working out some compatibility issues. So, until we can be certain that the new OS X will play well with Second Life, we recommend you not upgrade to OS X Lion. |
Release Notes for SL Viewer v2.8.0 (236429) - Second Life Release
Released July 26, 2011
 |
Note: Due to the declining usage of some older SL Viewers, with this release we will be blocking logins for all versions from 2.1.1 to 2.6.8. While we don't expect these deprecations to impact significant numbers of residents, we do apologize if you are inconvenienced as a result. For more information about the SL Viewer versions we support, as well as our current deprecation policy, please visit the Viewer Support Policy wiki page. |
