Go, Justin go! This looks like a brilliant release!

Thanks to all the contributions from the devastating, and especially to
Justin for stepping up to the plate and taking on one of the least
interesting and most important jobs on the project. :)

Cheers Justin!

Hi folks.  OpenSim 0.6.9 has just been released and is available from
http://opensimulator.org/wiki/Download

The only changes since 0.6.9.rc2 are a fix for the linking problems
introduced between rc1 and rc2, and the last minute inclusion of a patch
that sends the UUID of chatting objects to viewers (Mantis 4671).  As
always, the OpenSim project is alpha so there remain a very large number of
bugs and quite a few missing features.

I don't believe there are any database or server architectural changes
between 0.6.9 and 0.6.8, so the existing wiki setup instructions (such as
they are) should continue to apply.

Here's a list of some of the major changes between 0.6.9 and 0.6.8.

* Teleport offers implemented
* SQLite database adapter updated to work with Mono 2.6 and later (as well
as Windows).  Unfortunately, this will currently not work with Mac and Mono
2.6 due to missing symbols in the SQLite library bundled with Mac OS X.
 Mono 2.4 can still be used by switching to the legacy adaptor.
* Ability to populate the inventory library by placing IARs in bin/Library
* "Allowed Users" and "Allowed Groups" estate functionality added.
* Added implementations of llCollisionFilter, llPassCollision,
llLoopSoundSlave, llLookSoundMaster, llTriggerSoundLimited, llPointAt,
llStopPointAt, llGetCenterOfMass, llGroundRepel, llSetVehicleFlags,
llRemoveVehicleFlags, llSetInventoryPermMask.
* Improvements to LSL functions including llDialog, llGetPrimitiveParams.
llSetPrimitiveParams, llGetStatus, llSetStatus, llSetDamage, llDie,
llLookAt, llParcelMediaCommandList.
* Scripts now receive a stream of touch events if the mouse button is held
down on their containing prim.
* Terrain collision implemented.
* OpenSim.Tools.Configger.exe added to dump configuration as an .ini, .xml
or .sql file.
* Avatar eyes and hair no longer remain white in standalone mode.
* Improvements to undo, redo, land undo.
* Improvements to attachments rezzing.
* Support for HTTP texture fetching.
* Fix console problem on startup of Grid.UserServer.exe with no existing
config.
* Stop existing avatars appearing in the T-pose to those who have just
logged in.
* Improvements to ground standing.
* Clothing in the inventory library should now have the correct icons
* Gestures saved to OARs/IARs
* OARs now save region settings
* Fixes for terrain editing problems in megaregions
* Ground sitting fixed
* Viewers now receive UUID of the broadcasting prim when chat originates
from a script.
* Attempting to rez no-copy objects on no-rez parcels no longer cause the
item to vanish from inventory.
* Prim to prim collisions improved.
* Resizing the console window in Mono no longer results in an exception
flood.
* Various performance improvements
* Various stability improvements

Many, many thanks to all the developers, testers, community members and
OpenSim supporters who made this release possible!
