Help us out by filing bugs in the public issue tracker. Learn how.

The following release affects Viewer 2 and search.secondlife.com.

Highlights of this release:

User interface redesigned with improved organization of features and actions.
New and improved Destination Guide (previously known as Showcase). The Destination Guide features new destinations added daily in arts, fashion, music and more.
Expanded use of Google Search Appliance (See Search Guidelines for tips on how to tune listings for searchability)
Infrastructure redesigned using HTML on top of Django web services to increase development speed and flexibility
Relocated search appliances to multiple colos for increased redundancy
Amount paid for a Classified is now shown in the Detail view and not in the Classifieds tab view.

Following are some of the usability and technical issues we are working to resolve:

These search collections are not yet enabled: Events, Land Sales.
These sorting options are not yet enabled: Sort by name for People, Places.
Category filtering not yet working on Classifieds tab.
Search results are sometimes slow to load.
When opening the Find window for a new search, the previous page is visible while new search loads.
Browsing search listings without a keyword doesn't work. E.g., Attempts to browse by initiating a search with no keyword will return you to the main search page.
Total number of results found only shown in Relevance sort view.
Maturity filtering not yet completely implemented for all searches.
Instructions for becoming adult-verified are not shown to non-adult accounts that search for adult content in Classifieds, Events and Land Sales.
Searching for only adult terms in Events and Land Sales without the Adult option enabled returns all non-adult results.
Events on adult regions may show up in non-adult searches.
Classifieds are not blocked from specific some Education and Teen estates which have opted out of showing ads.
