Servers

Late yesterday, after 7PM PST, the Deploys post appeared. We did get a server update roll to the main channel today (2/4). Tomorrow, Wednesday, we will get a roll to the RC channels. There’s nothing earthshaking in either of the releases.

The package that made it to the main channel is the one that includes the Linden Scripting Language (LSL) function: llModifyLand(). Inara has more on this change. See: SL projects news 6/1: Server, viewer, SSA and AIS project viewer.

The package going to the RC channels is a package with a crash fix. The package is going to all three channels. And that’s about all we know about.

In the Firestorm viewers only the BETA version has Materials capability, for now. If you are a Firestorm user you may want to check out the Beta. If you are leery of Beta versions, you may want to try the main release SL Viewer.

RC Viewers

Interesting Viewer version 3.6.14.285213 – In this version the developers are still hunting for the cause of crashes. The crash rate is still too high, but crash measurement may be erroneously high. Not having clear crash reporting leads back to the Google Breakpad work the Lindens are doing.

Few Third Party Developers have tried merging the Interest List code with their viewers. The Firestorm team is waiting for a more stable release of the code.

Fitted Mesh Viewer version 3.7.0.285669 – Recently this version got a refresh and is likely to get one more next week (6). The fix probably arriving Monday (2/2). A later update will likely only be a merge with whatever viewer is current main version. Then this viewer will likely be in the final RC version before release.
