Feature Highlights
- Profiles: Profiles are now web-based, so they are accessible via either the Viewer or the Web (my.secondlife.com/<user.id>).
- STORM-31 As a Product Owner, I want to ensure that our preferences are simple and reliable. Review the existing Preference set up and ensure we're not missing anything we need/don't need
- Login Favorites: You can now login directly to any of the landmarks in your Favorites bar! Just go to Me > Preferences > Privacy and select 'Show my Favorite Landmarks at Login (via 'Start At' drop-down menu)' - but be sure you also have 'Show on login' enabled for 'Start location' in Me > Preferences > General.
