SLS1.22 not going so well

This week's rolling update to Second Life server version 1.22 hasn't been going very well, necessitating an extension of the update process into Friday, and a revised version 1.22.1.

As many users observed, the sound-throttling feature which was not supposed to impact a lot of content has, well, impacted a lot of content. If you heard a distant howling sound on the wind on Wednesday, that was the collective frustration of users who were being spammed by sound-related error messages from their own objects.

1.22 apparently also apparently added some unintentional weird behaviors to scripted flight-assisters, which also didn't win anyone any friends.

The first half of the 1.22.1 deployment has gone ahead, with the second half scheduled for Friday, 30 May.

Over on the physics side there are 'enhancements' for the server's goo-fence. If past 'enhancements' are any sort of reliable guide, that last sentence will fill many content creators with grim trepidation.
