Second Life and Virtual Worlds
This week there is no roll out to the main channel. It continues to run version #18.03.27.513831.
Blue Steel and Le Tigre won’t get a roll and will continue running version #18.03.29.513939.
Magnum will get an update Wednesday to version #18.03.29.513939.
All are Internal fixes…
Any regions running 14 days or longer without a restart will be restarted.
The main viewer remains version 5.1.2.512803, which came on week #10.
The main channel updated to version #18.03.27.513831. The new version has only Internal Fixes.
The RC’s Blue Steel and Le Tigre will update to version #18.03.29.513939 on the usual Wednesday cycle. Also, only Internal Fixes.
Magnum will continue to run #18.03.27.513831.
From the Server and Scripting UG we hear about more region crossing work. Simon Linden is doing some work on crossings. BUG-214653 – After half-unsit at failed region crossing on vehicle due to network lag, “Unsit” button will not work.
Crossing regions at speed… fast cars, planes, boats, and motorcycles, have a big problem. I was recently testing an Apolon helicopter. Great fun. But, region crossings are an annoyance.
It is Tuesday (well, would have been if I had remembered to post this…) and the main channel was updated to version #18.03.14.513292. The changes are the ever-occurring Internal fixes then logging to help diagnose an issue with in-world HTTP servers returning HTTP 503 (BUG-214702), adding a new capability to request IMs that were delivered to the requesting agent while the agent was offline, and adding a new capability to request the most up to date list of abuse report categories.
Until we have a viewer update that can use the new caps, we can’t see or use the new additions.
Wednesday, the Blue Steel channel will be updated with version #18.03.17.513365, ‘internal changes’.
Le Tigre and Magnum may get an update. The Lindens had not decided on a version as I write this. The entry for these channels is a little confusing as they show the #18.03.14.513292 version, which I suspect many will assume is an update going to these channels. But it went to the main channel and may remain in these RC channels.
The main channel gets a restart but no update. It remains on version #18.02.12.512536, which rolled out the end of February.
My region restarted 3/13, so it hasn’t restarted this week, at least as of 11:30 Am SLT.
Blue Steel will update to #18.03.17.513365. Internal fixes…
Le Tigre and Magnum update to #18.03.14.513292. Internal fixes, logging to help diagnose an issue with in-world HTTP servers returning HTTP 503 (BUG-214702), adds a new capability to request IMs that were delivered to the requesting agent while the agent was offline, and adds a new capability to request the most up to date list of abuse report categories.
These ‘adds’ will require a viewer that can use them. Which I assume is somewhere in the QA pipeline.
We get just ‘bits’ of news today (Thursday-Friday) as there is no Content Creators’ meeting this week. There is a third-party developer meeting Friday, I think.
Tuesday there was no Deploys post until late in the day. The main channel was restarted. No rollout of new software. I had guessed that was the case.
Blue Steel got a new version #18.03.05.513046. Internal changes.
Le Tigre and Magnum got version #18.03.12.513258. Which has Internal fixes and more simulator logging improvements.
From the Beta Server UG in Aditi, we get word work is being done to find out and fix the problem of some Aditi inventories not syncing up for weeks.
We didn’t get a Deploys post this week. My main channel region did get a restart. My region is running version #18.02.12.512536. This is a version released the end of February. So, I assume my region was just restarted not updated.
But, no one knows much about what is going on. Simon Linden at the Server-Scripting UG has nothing for us.
We’ll see if there is a restart on the RC channels tomorrow.
The main viewer is version 5.1.2.512803. This is the update we got last week, week #10.
Second Life Love Me Render Viewer version 5.1.3.513005 – Last updated in week #10.
Second Life Media Update Viewer version 5.1.3.513038 – This is a new version out this week. The previous update was released in week #8.
Second Life Project 360 Snapshot Viewer version 5.1.3.513006 – This is the version released in week #10. See my updates from last week for details.
Second Life Project Animesh Viewer version 5.1.3.513013 – This is new this week. The previous version came out in week #4.
We were supposed to get a new project viewer for Bakes-On. We didn’t so that suggests it did not make it through QA.
Also, an EEP (Enhanced Environment Project) project viewer is expected.
I’m pressed for time. So, gotta go. More details when I dig them out.
Plus, my good mouse died… R.A.T. 7 RIP. 🙁 SUCKS!
