I did 0.7.5.1 as well as 0.7.6.1 because I know there are various people who haven't \
updated to 0.7.6.

Of course, there are also people on older versions of OpenSimulator.  But updating \
more versions takes more time, which  takes time away from fixing current problems.  \
Unfortunately, people on older versions have to upgrade.

Also, just to make it clear that this is not a security fix release.  If you're using \
0.7.6, 0.7.5 or older  OpenSimulator with no possibility of getting teleports from \
simulators running current dev code (i.e. you don't have  Hypergrid enabled and are \
not attached to an open grid) then you don't need the appearance fix that these \
releases  contain.  That said, 0.7.6.1 also contains a memory leak fix for default \
maptile generation which I've heard does have a  significant impact when many \
simulators/regions are run over long periods.
