Firestorm have started to block old Firestorm versions this week one by one which will continue for the rest of the week until completed by the Firestorm Team. See the latest block updates below and be prepared to upgrade to the latest version of Firestorm.
The Firestorm team have recently been under pressure from Linden Lab to block older versions and its been in the works for many weeks now. The blocking is needed so that the Firestorm Team can continue to develop Firestorm futher so that everyone has a better inworld experience. By the end of November the Firestorm team will only allow the latest three versions of the Firestorm to access Second Life which makes sense.

Hey folks. There are five to eight thousand users in SL that are on versions of Firestorm that will be locked down and blocked from log on. Review the list, or better yet, go to Firestorm blog and update.

I’m confused.
I thought LLs owned the servers, not Firestorm. How is Firestorm able to block viewers people have already downloaded?

Why to Firestorm is my main question?
If one can use the latst Ll code and still keep the v1 interface one can use Cool SL viewer, that is updated weekly!
If one can’t stand that interface anymore, then the options are even wider as there are several V3 interface style Tpv’s that are being updated as soon as LL releases new code!
And as Ll is releasing the interest code viewer and the mesh 1, i can not stop thinking that Firestorm and Singularity delayed for so many ALM and Materials and real hope that for once Users start to think on other options!
