I don't think you understand the relevance of what is going on. IF they can put code into it to crash or disrupt your OpenSim software, then what else is in the code that we are unaware of ? I see a HUGE security risk here. Anyone who has this running at home on their home network, they invited them into looking at your network and your computers. I have permanently shut down my Grid. I no longer support OpenSim.
Shame on you if you are suggesting any wrong doing. Lots of people put in a lot of hard work on this project. My thanks to each and every one of you!
And they are correct when they say, This is not commercial software and that THEY are not responsible for anything !
The disclaimer in no way implies any wrong doing. Funny, I don't recall commercial software taking much responsibility.

Of course that assumes OpenSim gets the time and date from the system rather than NTP... I'm not sure lol. As for the people who don't have a heads up on this I don't know what to say.

They deliberately put code in there to screw up EVERYONE who has a sim that is a DEV version ? So all those poor people who have that, which I know a lot, will get a bad surprise ( and not all of them are even IN this group ) .. and some who have been trying so hard to keep it running, are going to think that something major is wrong on that day not thinking it was all a prank and either A.) give up, or B.) loose all their faith in opensim because of this crap ? I'm sorry, but does this seem right to anyone here ? Or is this something that all of you are in agreement with here ?

More typically, everyone's avatar will be rendered as a stick figure or plywood box. Again, these pranks typically only impact head. Note that: 1. These pranks are a more than just a bit juvenile, but 2. the code belongs to the devs who write it, not to the users who run it and 3. Don't run dev code on prduction servers if you dont like surprises. Oh and 4. don't expect a lot of sympathy about your 'getting pissed', as you have been more than adequately warned.
