Subject: * Change opensim.ini.example guidance on asset_database setting to be
 "local" or "grid" * See OpenSim.ini.example for more details * The old
 sqlite/mssql settings were redundant and effectively ignored anyway.  Hence,
 there's no need for you to change your current settings, which will still
 work * In fact, asset_database should probably be moved to [Network] since
 it's meaningless for standalone installations
