Nalates Urriah, whose blog is probably the best web resource on Second Life/OpenSim viewers, believes Second Life's long-awaited mesh feature will be added to SL's main grid very soon. Her reasoning: "Once the mesh viewer works well with the VS2010 compiler and the main SL grid (AGNI) the mesh code can be combined with the main viewer, which is a huge step closer to mesh release. At that point it will become part of the main viewer and probably appear as a Beta viewer version. So, I see this as a big step indicating we are close to mesh release on the main grid. I’m still thinking late May early June." Maybe so. Read more here.

I was wondering what that VS2010 branch was all about. Great to know mesh is coming soon. Most of the codefixes I'm looking forward and have been following are also on VS2010, so it looks like I'll be getting everything at once. :] Can't wait.

End of June, I'm thinking

It will be interesting to see if I got it right. Tateru may be closer to the real date. I'm optimistic, may be overly so.
There is work happening now to move the server side mesh support to the main grid.

It looks like this is also the reason why we are getting endless Viewer 2.6.* releases - they are determined to make Mesh appear in 2.7
