This is because the viewer doesn't receive a timezone from the server but bases its displays on Pacific Standard Time.
However, it still expects to receive notification from the server as to whether or not Daylight Savings Time for PST is in operation.
This commit introduces a new DSTZone setting in the [LoginService] config setting that accepts a list of timezone names valid across different platforms to calculate Pacific DST.
If you need the old behaviour of calculating DST based on the local timezone of the server running the login service, then please override DSTZone with "local".
A mailing list announcement will be made later.
Thanks to Olivier Van Helden and Gudule Lapointe for determining this behaviour and providing this patch.

This is controlled by the CreateDefaultAvatarEntries switch in the [UserAccountService] section of config-include/Stnadalone.ini
This is left as false in grid mode
Viewer 2 no longer contains the default avatar assets (i.e. "Ruth") that would appear if the user had insufficient body part/clothing entries.
Instead, avatars always appear as a cloud, which is a very bad experience for out-of-the-box OpenSim.
Default is currently off. My intention is to switch it on for standalone shortly.
This is not particularly flexible as "Ruth" is hardcoded, but this can change in the future, in co-ordination with the existing RemoteAdmin capabilities.
Need to fix creation of suitable entries for users created as estate owners on standalone.
Avatars still appear with spooky empty eyes, need to see if we can address this.
This commit adds a "Default Iris" to the library (thanks to Eirynne Sieyes from http://opensimulator.org/mantis/view.php?id=1461) which can be used.
* Removed StorageManager
* CONFIG CHANGE: There are no more database settings in OpenSim.ini. Check the config-include configuration files for region store and estate store database settings
Update information in StandaloneCommon.ini.example to reflect this
Remove ISharedRegionModule interfaces from all SimianGrid connector classes temporarily since this stopped standalone from working (due to absence of AssetURI settings, etc.).
Solution here may be to create separate region module connectors as done by local/grid/hypergrid so that loading can be controlled via include files
Or otherwise work out how to stop these modules from being loaded for all OpenSim invocations
The root cause of this problem was that multiple ObjectUpdates were being sent on attachment which differed enough to confuse the client.
Sometimes these would eliminate each other and sometimes not, depending on whether the scheduler looked at the queued updates.
The solution here is to only schedule the ObjectUpdate once the attachment code has done all it needs to do.
Several improvements in the connectors themselves.
Several improvements in configurations.
Needed to add a hack in IUserService and UserManagerBase, to be removed when that service is refactored.
