Second Life – Third-Party Viewer Developers UG 2017 w/20

2017/05/19 by Nalates Urriah

Oz Linden has his 64-bit viewer crash for the first time since he’s been using it. I’ve used it for weeks and only seen a couple of crashes.

The HTTPAssets Viewer got an update in week #20.

Voice is the same version. It has an ‘elevated’ crash rate. They haven’t yet figured out why. So, it won’t be promoting any time soon.

The maintenance viewer has the new Estate Manager controls. This is the more likely viewer to get promoted.

Expect a 64 bit RC release in a couple of weeks (#22 or #23). The last functional update has gone to QA. Expect it to update in week 21.

Servers

OK, we started out the day having no idea what was deploying this week. The Deploys thread had not updated as of 12:30 SLT 5/16. – OK, later in the day Caleb got the post stickied and out where people can find it.

And now for something a little different

We do know the server operating system update of the previous week on Le Tigre was rolled back.

My update tracking at my home, main channel, shows no restart today (2:40PM 5/16).

The Deploy post, now that Whirly pointed me to it and now that someone changed the stickiness of the posts, shows no roll for the main channel.

Second Life: End of UKanDo Viewer

2017/05/12 by Nalates Urriah

Well, good things come to an end. Yesterday BlackRose Dayafter and Connor Monaron posted that development of the viewer is ending. For them this is a good life change. See their post: Everything good must come to an end! It is generally sad to see a developer discontinue a viewer. In this case they are … Read more

The Deploys information placed in the forum is less and less. As of now they are simply a link to the release notes.

The main channel did get a roll out this morning. Package: #17.04.26.325840 – This package changes server logging.

Blue Steel and Magnum get the new package: #17.05.05.326151 – The package consists of “internal” changes… probably meaning bugs that only affect backend operation, nothing we would notice.

Le Tigre gets the package: #17.05.05.326155 – This isn’t a simulator software change. The servers running this channel are being upgraded to a new Operating System version. Sort like you updating Windows and not your viewer. We aren’t likely to see any noticeable changes, provided all goes well.

The OS upgrade will spread through the entire set of simulators.

I do bits when either there isn’t much to report or for whatever reasons I’ve missed UG meetings. This week RL work had me busy. So… its bits today. Inventory Loss Empirically, we seem to be seeing more inventory loss. Apparently Grumpity Linden was at the Thursday Beta Server UG meeting talking about the Lab … Read more

The Third-Party Developer’s meeting ran 36 minutes. There is some interesting news. So…

A new RC HTTPAsset viewer is out, 5.0.5.325940. This version is significantly better than the previous, crash-wise. There are still too few people using it to have good stats on the viewer’s performance.

There has been an update to the voice viewer. Problems were fixed. At the first of the meeting Oz Linden thought the viewer would be out any minute. The new release actually posted during the meeting.
