Servers

The main channel is getting a new package. This is the one running on the RC channels last week (17), which consists of a crash fix and improvements. The RC channels will continue to run the same package. So, they won’t be getting a restart.

The main viewer remains 4.0.3-312816. No update for a couple of weeks.

RC Second Life Maintenance Viewer version 4.0.4.314579 – This version did update this past week from 4.0.4.314012.

RC Second Life Quick Graphics Viewer version 4.0.4.314426 – This version has NOT updated since last week.

Second Life Project Bento Viewer version 5.0.0.313876 – This version has NOT updated since last week.

Second Life Project Oculus Rift Viewer version 3.7.18.295296 – This version has NOT updated since forever.

The Third Party Dev’s meeting should be this week. But, the agenda page is still only showing 4/22 as the next meeting.

Last week’s report: Second Life News 2016 Week 17. More details on the viewer changes are explained there. Nothing new to report today.

Second Life: LOTS of News

2016/04/23 by Nalates Urriah

From the Third Party Dev Meeting 2016-16… Oz Linden starts off saying there isn’t a lot of new stuff. But, news-wise there was quite a bit and I found most of it interesting.

Second Life News Week 16

2016/04/19 by Nalates Urriah

Servers

No roll out to the main channel this week. All three RC channels will get a new package. It will have a fix for Bug 11163 – llHTTPRequest returns 400 from some sims and not others. There are also some minor ‘improvements’, whatever those may be.

Viewers

The main release viewer is 4.0.3-312816. This is the HTTP/Co-routines viewer that rolled out not long ago. So, no change.

ODD: Intel Developers to use Second Life?

2016/04/13 by Nalates Urriah

In my reading I came across this article on the Intel Developer site: Unity Tip: Using Second Life As A 3D Modeling Package.

Quoting:

You may need to use 3D modeling to create objects for your project but do not have the technical experience yet to do so, or find that your package of choice does not provide the feature that you need (for example, creating spheres in SketchUp is very difficult). There is an alternative, user-friendly solution though. You can create your objects in the online virtual reality world Second Life

I think that is pretty interesting…

Even more interesting is they promote the Firestorm Viewer as the viewer of choice. Their reason for recommending Firestorm is the Collada export feature found in Firestorm.

The article provides a tutorial on how to export 3D items from Second Life™ using the Firestorm viewer.

There was a server roll to the main channel. This package has a fix for BUG-11163 llHTTPRequest – returns 400 from some sims and not others and minor internal improvements.

There is no new package for the RC channels. They are running the same package as the main channel.

No word on whether we will have a new package rolling to the RC channels next week.
