Second Life and Virtual Worlds
Servers – No roll to the main grid this week. Maybe next week. The three RC channels all got the same update, which is mostly the addition of; BUG-10575 Feature Request: llGetObjectDetails() constant OBJECT_TOTAL_INVENTORY_COUNT and BUG-10646 Feature Request: llGetObjectDetails() constant OBJECT_PRIM_COUNT.
I suspect many of us that use the Preview Grid have avoided changing passwords because changing complicates our access to the Preview Grid (ADITI). I’ve changed mine and filed a trouble ticket to get my ADITI password sync’d up with my AGNI (main grid) password.
Others are running into the problem. I guess it is enough people that the Lindens decided it was time to do something. See: Some may experience login problems to the Beta grid. We are on it. 12/15/2015.
This week we saw a roll to the main channel and will see a new package go into RC channels Wednesday.
The main channel got the maintenance release with Crash Fixes and BUG-10192 – Feature Request: llGetObjectDetails() constant OBJECT_OMEGA.
There hasn’t been much server news. Last week no updates rolled out as QA had found problems. Nor was there a roll-out to the main grids primary channel this week as the RC channel packages were having problems.
This week we did get a roll-out to the RC channels. All three channels are getting the same package. That roll-out came Wednesday.
The package is a maintenance release. The release notes tell us the package consists of crash-fixes and a fix for BUG-10192 Feature Request: llGetObjectDetails() constant OBJECT_OMEGA.
It is hard to tell if little is actually going on or there is secret stuff going on.
Caleb Linden forgot to update the Deploys thread in the forum. :/ They apparently have him buried in work. Whatever, the main channel did get an update today (11/3). I’m just not sure which of the two RC’s made it. One was some server fixes the other the same fixes and an additional bug fix. Hopefully the later made it out.
The new RC package has a new support tool, that mean a tool for the Linden Support Staff. It helps them re-align region edges. They sometimes get out of sync when the land owner moves the terrain up or down a significant amount.
I’m guessing there are some other bug fixes too…
The main default viewer updated from the Notifications RC Viewer 3.8.6-305981. So, you’ll be seeing notices popping up differently.
The only RC viewers are:
The Project Viewers:
Nothing much has changed in these. There will be updates to all of these so they will all soon have the Notifications changes plus various fixes.
I don’t expect the Oculus version to update…
