Second Life and Virtual Worlds
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?
I’ve compressed parts of the video without voice to reduce the run time.
These are the tops discussed during the meeting. They are in the order they appear in the video. Because I was time compressing the video, I didn’t collect the time marks.
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: Second Life: Third Party Viewer meeting (24 March 2017).
This is sort of a playing-in-SL-video for me. Probably a one time thing. I doubt I’ll video future meetings as long as Pantera is posting his videos.
AvaStar 2 RC-6 is out. You can download it from your products page. Unless you spend time watching chat in the AvaStar-Blender and AvaStar Support groups you have no idea what changed. The change log was last updated in September 2016.
Update: Gaia & Eleanora decided to change where updates to release notes/change logs are kept. Seems I kept finding the one that WASN’T updated, while there was an updated one in another place: Change Log.
You have to download the new release. The AvaStar update process from inside Blender is NOT for RC updates. RC updates require a manual update.
Inara tells us about Filling the Cauldron, a photo contest open to everyone. See her article for the details.
In ‘cauldron’ related news Prim Dolls provides information of a more personal nature. Elicio Ember’s father is fighting to recover from a stroke. So, there is a benefit event. See: Ember’s Cauldron: Welcome! Stores from all over the grid are involved.
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.
