Feature Highlights
* Profiles: Profiles are now web-based, so they are accessible via either the Viewer or the Web (my.secondlife.com/<user.id>).
** As a Product Owner, I want to ensure that our preferences are simple and reliable. Review the existing Preference set up and ensure we're not missing anything we need/don't need
* Login Favorites: You can now login directly to any of the landmarks in your Favorites bar! Just go to Me > Preferences > Privacy and select 'Show my Favorite Landmarks at Login (via 'Start At' drop-down menu)' - but be sure you also have 'Show on login' enabled for 'Start location' in Me > Preferences > General.
** As a User, I want a list of my favorite locations available on the login screen so I can log in to SL right where I want to be
* Webkit Upgrade: We've upgraded Webkit, which is used for displaying media and web content (including Profiles), from 4.6 to 4.7.1
** Upgrade Qt (via Qt/WebKit via LLQtWebKit) to v4.7.1, addition of new Web content floater and numerous LLQtWebKit / media plugin related fixes
