The Linden made series of viewers
The server side of the new Estate Owner and Estate Manager (EO & EM) is on the ADITI (Preview) grid. It was being discussed at the Server Beta UG meeting Thursday.
This new feature is in server version DRTSIM-343 in ADITI. We know it as version 17.03.31.325149 in the main grid (AGNI), which is the current RC release running on all three RC channels. But, we don’t yet have a viewer with which to access the changes. That is ‘work’ in progress.
Caleb Linden sort of posts the new deploy information for server software. Those posts have gotten progressively shorter providing less and less information. We are down to it being a pasted in URL to the release notes.
This week we did get a roll to the main channel. The only stated change is a tweak to the ‘asset metrics stats’. I think this is for the change to deliver more assets by the Content Delivery Network (CDN). They are collecting information pre-change to CDN. You’ll see the new viewer needed to support this change in the viewer’s list.
There was no roll to the main channel today. A roll to the RC channels is expected Wednesday. The change is listed as;
All three RC channels are scheduled for 2017-03-29 update; RC Bluesteel, LeTigre, Magnum.
Changes: Added and tweaked asset metrics stats logging
I know the Lindens are working in updates to the render cost figures. They are also changing delivery of more assets to be via Content Delivery Networks (CDN). So, I’m not sure which effort is supported by the tweaks… both?
This is the meeting of March 24, 2017. Not many people were there. Not much news. Some update on the RC viewers. Normally I watch Pantera Północy’s videos of the meeting. But, he missed the last two meetings. So, I decided to video this one. But, Pantera was there and his usual video is here: … Read more
There is a roll out to the main channel today, Tuesday. This is the package described as: Added a new internal logging output and changes to increase stability and security.
At last week’s Beta Server group meeting they were discussing the next coming package. It will have the change to CDN (Content Delivery Network) of more assets. Something is causing it to fail to grant capabilities to users. I could cam into a failed region but, not enter the region.
Now that the SL Forum is back we are getting the Deploy notices.
There was no update on the main channel this Tuesday. Wednesday the RC channels got a new package. This in the same line as previous packages:
We can assume that previous logging is leading to places where code can be optimized and processes improved. But, we aren’t hearing much more than that.
