13.04.12.273874

  • This is a maint-server project
  • Scheduled 2013-04-23, for Second Life Server
  • Features
    • CHANGED_REGION and CHANGED_TELEPORT changed() events will now be called on child prims (SVC-3755)
    • New LSL functions for animation overrides: llSetAnimationOverride(), llGetAnimationOverride(), llResetAnimationOverride()
      • Benefits:
        • Reduced scripting overhead:
          • Replacing a default animation is less code run only once.
          • No polling required, no tracking agent state
        • Works seamlessly with existing animations and animation systems
        • Smoother Animation Overrider behavior
          • Current AOs fight the base animation. This lets the user change the base animation for a state so there is no fighting.
      • llSetAnimationOverride(string anim_state, string anim)
        • Set the animation that will play for the given animation state.
        • Animation must be in the contents of the object with the script, or one of the default animations.
        • Requires new runtime permissions PERMISSION_OVERRIDE_ANIMATIONS
      • string llGetAnimationOverride(string anim_state)
      • llResetAnimationOverride(string anim_state)
        • Resets the animation for the given animation state to the default.
        • Special state of "ALL" will reset all animation overrides to their defaults.
        • Requires new runtime permissions PERMISSION_OVERRIDE_ANIMATIONS
      • PERMISSION_OVERRIDE_ANIMATIONS
        • Only auto-granted for attachments.
      • List of supported animation states
        • "Standing", "Sitting", "Sitting on Ground", "Jumping", "Hovering", "Taking Off", "CrouchWalking", "Walking", "Running", "Hovering Up", "PreJumping", "Hovering Down", "FlyingSlow", "Flying", "Falling Down", "Striding", "Landing", "Soft Landing", "Crouching", "Standing Up", "Turning Left", "Turning Right"
      • Caveats:
        • State "Sit on Ground" will play the default animation in addition to any override set. This is required for correct viewer behavior.
        • Some states are transitional and have undefined behavior if set to continuously looping animations. These states are "PreJumping", "Landing", "Soft Landing" and "Standing Up".
  • Bug Fixes
    • Fixed a simulator crash mode
    • Slight region performance improvement when there are no pathfinding characters present
  • Changes since 13.04.01.273300
    • If llStopAnimation() is called with the default animation for the agent's current animation state, and the agent has overriden the animation for that state then the override will be stopped (BUG-2164)
      • For example, if a user overrides his sit animation to be "yoga_sit" and then sits on a poseball, if that poseball calls 'llStopAnimation("sit")', then the user's "yoga_sit" animation will be stopped.
  • History

13.04.05.273580

  • This is a server HTTP improvement project
  • Scheduled 2013-04-30, for Second Life Server
  • Features
    • More complete and more correct headers on texture and mesh fetches.
      The asset fetch responses, involving texture and mesh fetches, are fairly straight forward. More headers and correct headers will be returned. Viewers will begin to receive the following:
      • Age
      • Cache-Control
      • Content-Encoding
      • Content-Language
      • Content-Length (for meshes)
      • Content-Range (for 206 responses)
      • Content-Type
      • Etag
      • Expires
      • Last-Modified
      The 'Content-Type' for assets will start showing as image/x-j2c and application/vnd.ll.mesh for images and meshes, respectively. Old service behavior will still be present on the grid for a time. And as with HTTP in general, any of these headers may disappear or change in structure or meaning as permitted.
    • Keepalive connections for some HTTP-based services
      The behavioral change for HTTP connections marks the beginning of support for persistent (keepalive) connections. Services transiting the capabilities router, at ports 12043 and 12046, may honor a request for keepalives and keep a connection open after request completion. These services may include such activities as texture and mesh fetching, event delivery to viewer, HTTP-In for LSL scripts, asset uploads and inventory operations. Benefits from keepalives include immediate and future throughput increases and less TCP connection churn (which often disrupts consumer-grade networking equipment).
      The exact set of services that will see this is expected to change over time.
