Developers Linden Labs say that they&#8217;ve addressed around 45 bugs and issues mainly concerned to Second Life&#8217;s troublesome Instant Messaging function.<\/p>\n<p>The team have added new IM shortcuts including the ability to switch between IM tabs using the Alt-Left arrow and Alt-Right arrow. You can also now close all IM windows using Ctrl-W. Other improvements include inventory system folders which may now be sorted from top to bottom. Also now, when checking your balance, a graphic reads &#8216;Loading&#8217; instead of just showing blank. Other improvements include the minimap which is now enabled by default when Second Life runs for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>We advise users to be very careful to preserve the previous installation file when upgrading however.
