Users of the Openlife and popular backup software for Avatar inventory called Second Inventory would be aware of the disabled access to the Openlife with second inventory software whilst improvements to security and stability are made.
Second Inventory developers are working together with the 3DX team to make improvements to the methods and capabilities of second inventory and it’s access to the Openlifegrid.
The improvements being developed will make will improve it’s security and safety to provide Openlife users a 3rd party backup method for the inventory and a method for Second Life Creators to safely import their content to the Openlife knowing the software cannot be used to steal the content or not respect the creator’s Avatar Name.
The Second Inventory team expects the first changes to be available in the coming soon version 1.2.0.9 version of Second Inventory.
Collaboration and design ideas have already started in co-operation to improving the security relationship between, content creator, user and the Openlifegrid. Improvements to script upload capabilities have also been shared between the Second Inventory and the Openlife Grid and can be expected in the next release.

To improve stability and crash reporting, OpenLifeGrid (OLG) changed the login to accept only Openlife R16.2 viewer. The viewer is done by KirstenLee Cinquetti take a look at CTN post about OpenLife viewers).
One of the consequences is that Linden Labs Second Life viewer is also blocked out. It seems that this is not a big deal for the users, who have already learned to use alternative viewers. Macphisto Angelus writes in his blog post, that the OLG users feel not so happy about the fact that Second Inventory, a backup tool for Opensim and Second Life virtual world content, is not working anymore within OLG.
Stephen Sima said in a CTN interview, that R16.2 is the current viewer and R16.3 comes out probably in less than a week: ” Basically we’re just focusing on stability”. Mr. Sima also said that “to get the best data feedback we locked in the current viewer as the only viewer so we can work attack the relevant bugs without having the feedback corrupted by older incompatible viewers.”
The benefits are soon coming to OLG users. The 3DX team reports significant improvement in stability when both the new R16.3 viewer and new 0.6.9.1 server are used together. The new viewer and server software are being released within a week, and the Second Inventory problem is going to be solved as well.
