Grid has been upgraded to Opensim 9.3 and planned maintenance
The last two days our tech team has upgraded Friends grid to Opensim version 9.3. The biggest difference you may notice is that Friends grid is now PBR enabled. This allows for more realistic lighting and rendering effects in the virtual world. Reflection probes or mirrors can now show your reflection. YOu may need a current verion of firestorm to see this. Personally, I am not a PBR fan, but I know many are, so it is now here for you!
There are many more technical changes with this upgrade, all aimed at making your virtual life very smooth and seamless.
Please note, in the next few weeks I will be giving you all a one week notice for a planned 24 hour shut down. During this time we will be switching to Object Storage to manage and back up our assets. This is the same asset management system that Wolf Grid uses. This system will help us run faster and smoother while providing state of the art security.
Remember, when you get my notice about the 24 hour shut down, it is not because something is broken. We are upgrading things in a very major way!
