The Inevitable Delay.. was only 1 Day Long!
So, to no ones surprise, the release of AW4.2 beta was delayed for an unspecified period of time. Flagg released an official statement on the AW Forums.
One day later, AW4.2 has been released to the public in the form of a beta universe. If you haven’t been there already, you can check out Flagg’s most recent official statement and download the universe for yourself. Be sure to check out the CAV system in its infancy.. so far it’s looking pretty good.
AW4.2 Release Date Announced
The release date of the long-awaited Active Worlds 4.2 was publicly announced on the ActiveWiki today by lead programmer chrispeg. As it stands now, the proposed date is Monday, April 21st. This release should include many of the heavily talked-about features such as Custom Avatars, picture mipmapping, upgraded signs (fonts) and outgoing telegram storage.

SW City Times Under New Management
After about eight years or so of asking the tough questions and keeping the news stands up to date, Syntax is hanging up the SW City Times press hat. I’ll be taking over for him, so you can expect new SW City Times from me every month. You can also expect them to be totally AWESOME and full of Gray propaganda. January’s issue is out in news1.rwx objects everywhere, sporting a redesign!
And for those of you who have no idea what the heck I’m talking about, the SW City Times is a monthly publication we put out that is designed specifically for news1.rwx objects. You can find out more about it below:
