Now that I managed to actually get it to run...
I gotta say I'm very disappointed in this build overall... for something that
should be a major step forward with new features and stuff I'm seeing allot of
stuff that feels like a step backwards. I'm listing just a very small sample
of what I am seeing below:
regressions:
1) only 3-4 buttons will display without the warning there isn't enough room
when sidebar is open even if there is lots of space...
2) major hangups and freezes when minimized and bounced back
3) Media filter??? Where did it go?
4) Return of texture pickers in clothing creation and prim editing often
screwing up when first opened...
5) Prims sometime seem to jump back to previous positions when editing them...
bugs:
1) major graphic distortion and choppiness not seen in past viewers, even with
graphics maxed
2) wierd pauses when loading minimap
3) extreme memory leak during inventory management and clothing creation.
pushed me well over 2 gigs combined (ram and virtual) usage
4) very sluggish response to clicking objects in inventory. 1-3 second lag
spikes were not uncommon. (not seeing this in 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, or firestorm
viewers)
good: nicer advanced tools and meters for builders

Subject: [opensource-dev] 3.0.0 Beta Candidate available
We have completed our latest build for 3.0.0 (238157) and it's
available for download here:
https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Downloading_test_builds#Beta_Candidates
We'd love to have you try it out - doing the things you normally do
in Second Life and provide us with feedback. Once you've had a
chance to try this out, this build will become the next release into
our beta channel. We have created a meta issue in jira for you to
attach any bug you find https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-26648.
In addition, if you should discover a mesh issue, VWR bug creation
now has a Mesh component available. Some important facts about
this viewer:
Mesh support. This build will allow you to upload and see
meshes on supported regions of aditi and agni (previous viewers
will show meshes as prims).
Currently regions in the magnum and "Secondlife RC Mesh"
channels have mesh support.
On supported regions where you have build permissions, mesh
upload can be accessed via the Build->Upload->Model...
option. A L$ fee will be charged for uploads, with the size of
the fee determined by the complexity of the model.
Your account must be mesh enabled before uploading; the
requirements for this are that your account has payment info on
file, and that you have completed a questionnaire related to
intellectual property issues as they apply to mesh. If you are
not yet mesh enabled, the model upload dialog will provide a
link to the questionnaire.
See http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Mesh
for more information about mesh.
Thank you for your interest in making our viewer experience better.
If you have any questions, please feel free to either post them in
our Mesh Forums http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Mesh/bd-p/Mesh
