Second Life 1.8.2(9) Jan 31, 2006
================================
* Tab and enter once again move cursor through fields in Edit pane
* llDialog now displays a message showing from where the dialog originates
** When triggering an llDialog event on an object called "Object" owned by "Karen Linden," "Karen Linden's Object" will be indicated as the originator of the dialog
* Classified Ad locations now are shown with more precision on the World Map
* Debug > Show Updates option is once again functional
* New "recommended" Graphics Card Memory setting displayed for some system configurations
** Graphics Memory Size is determined by two things:
*** The amount of memory your graphics card has (VRAM)
*** The amount of system memory you have (RAM)
** A system that has lots of VRAM but little RAM, we will recommend a lower setting than your actual VRAM to improve performance:
*** For a machine with 256MB VRAM and 256MB RAM, the recommended Graphics Card Memory setting is 128MB
