What is LeTigre?

LeTigre is the nickname for 1 of our 3 'Server Release Candidate' channels. When a new version of server is ready for the main grid it needs to prove itself in a release candidate channel for one week first. This is what we used to call a pilot roll. Once a 'Server Release Candidate' has proven itself it will be rolled out to the entire main grid. LeTigre will then be given a new 'Server Release Candidate'. We might have as many as three 'Server Release Candidate' channels on the main grid at the same time. The others are BlueSteel and Magnum. These can and probably will change on a weekly basis.

LeTigre Release Channel

This is the LeTigre Release Channel. Information on this release candidate is below. For more information on beta projects, see: Beta Server Office Hours.

Timeframe

We will normally roll Release Candidates to the grid Wednesday mornings when we have them. If we don't have one we won't roll anything. The RC has to be stable on the main grid for 6 days. If so it will be rolled to the full grid next the next Tuesday morning. During the course of the 6 days RC cycle regions on the RC cycle may be restarted more frequently.

Additional Info

"LeTigre is soft yet deadly--- just like the tigers of France."

LeTigre can be on about 10% of the grid. These 4 regions will always have the latest up to date LeTigre RC code. You are welcome to use them as needed. They are available to members of the group "Second Life Beta". Please join this group: http://world.secondlife.com/group/19657888-576f-83e9-2580-7c3da7c0e4ca

If they are closed that means there is no RC using that channel.

      • Viewers that do not support server side baking will fail to display avatars correctly.
    • Added IncrementCOFVersion capability, which allows the viewer to request an increment to the cof_version without changing the contents of the current outfit folder.
      • This is intended as a signal to the server side bake system when an item contained by an object in the current outfit folder is modified without any changes to the container.
      • The response to a successful request to the capability includes the current outfit folder version, which could be used for synchronization and verification.
  • More details can be found in these previous announcements:

13.06.21.277682

  • This is a server maintenance project
  • Scheduled 2013-06-26 for RC BlueSteel, RC LeTigre, and RC Magnum
  • Bug Fixes
  • New Features
    • New LSL function: string llXorBase64(string str1, string str2)
      • Returns a string that is a Base64 XOR of Base64-formatted input strings, str1 and str2.
      • Addresses the cases from SCR-35 "llXorBase64StringsCorrect returns wrong result when the 2nd string contains nulls"
      • Aside from those cases, this function behaves identically to llXorBase64StringsCorrect()
    • Added max_materials_per_transaction to /simulator/features cap
      • This number returns the maximum number of materials that can be sent to the "RenderMaterials" capability in a single request.

13.06.18.277494

  • This is a server maintenance project

  • Bug fixes
    • Neighboring regions should now appear to the viewer sooner after a region restart (SVC-8019)
    • Fixed some crash modes
  • New features
    • The simulator now blocks unsupported bits from being requested in llRequestPermissions()
    • New pathfinding character property for llCreateCharacter() and llUpdateCharacter(): CHARACTER_STAY_WITHIN_PARCEL
      • CHARACTER_STAY_WITHIN_PARCEL takes a boolean parameter, either TRUE or FALSE
      • Default setting is FALSE, leading to traditional pathfinding behavior.
        • If a parcel allows scripts and objects and the character does not have the CHARACTER_STAY_WITHIN_PARCEL option enabled, it can freely cross the parcel boundary in both directions.
      • Characters which have CHARACTER_STAY_WITHIN_PARCEL set to TRUE treat the parcel boundaries as one-way obstacles.
        • Pathfinding wander, flee, evade, and pursue behaviors will only choose goal points within their starting parcel.
        • If a character somehow manages to escape its original parcel (e.g. it was 'pushed' out), it will be able to return to the original parcel, but will be unable to leave the original parcel afterwards.
    • New LSL functions for returning objects from parcels
      • integer llReturnObjectsByID(list objects)
        • Requires new runtime permission PERMISSION_RETURN_OBJECTS
        • objects is a list of objects IDs to return to owner
          • Parcel owner, estate owner, and estate managers can not have their objects returned by this method.
          • If the script is owned by an estate owner or manager, this function works for objects located on any parcel in the region.
          • Otherwise, the script can return objects located over land owned by the owner of the script.
        • Throttled at max parcel land impact capacity region-wide per hour.
        • Returns the number of objects that were returned to their owners or an error code.
      • integer llReturnObjectsByOwner(key owner, integer scope)
        • Requires new runtime permission PERMISSION_RETURN_OBJECTS
        • scope is:
          • OBJECT_RETURN_PARCEL to return all objects on the same parcel as the script which are owned by 'owner'. The script must be owned by an estate manager or over a parcel owned by the owner of the script.
          • OBJECT_RETURN_PARCEL_OWNER to return all objects owned by 'owner' which are over parcels owned by the owner of the script.
          • OBJECT_RETURN_REGION to return all objects in the region owned by 'owner' - only works when the script is owned by the estate owner or an estate manager.
        • Parcel owner, estate owner and estate managers can not have their objects returned by this method.
        • Objects which are owned by the group the land is set to will not be returned by this method.
        • Throttled at max parcel land impact region-wide per hour.
        • Returns the number of objects that were returned to their owners or an error code.
      • New error constants for llReturnObjectsByID and llReturnObjectsByOwner:
  • Changes since 13.06.06.277104
    • Fixed a crash mode
    • Fixed parcel rez permission issues under certain combinations of parcel settings (BUG-2844, BUG-2850)

13.04.05.273580

  • This is a server HTTP improvement project
  • Scheduled 2013-04-10, for RC Magnum, RC BlueSteel, and RC LeTigre
  • 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.

12.10.26.266333

  • This is the server modernization project
  • Scheduled 2012-11-01
  • Features and Changes
    • Updated the Havok physics engine to version 2012.1
    • Enables Havok's "Collision Geometry Optimizer" for the terrain, which simplifies the physics shape of the terrain for improved performance.
      • This can be disabled by region owners and estate managers with the Region Debug Console command "set optimize_terrain false".
    • Includes a new LSL function to access simulator statistics, llGetSimStats.
      • Usage: float llGetSimStats(integer stat_type)
      • Currently, this function accepts only SIM_STAT_PCT_CHARS_STEPPED as its parameter, which returns the % of pathfinding characters skipped each frame, averaged over the last minute. The returned value corresponds to the "Characters Updated" stat in the viewer's Statistics Bar.
    • Includes a new option for llCreateCharacter: CHARACTER_ACCOUNT_FOR_SKIPPED_FRAMES. Default is true to match pre-existing behavior. If set to false, character will not attempt to catch up on lost time when pathfinding performance is low, potentially providing more reliable movement (albeit while potentially appearing to be more stuttery).
    • Changes to pathfinding character throttling, so that characters may be permitted to exceed the previous 50µs limit per frame if there is sufficient spare time available.
    • Added a new parameter to llGetObjectDetails, OBJECT_PATHFINDING_TYPE, which returns the pathfinding setting of any object in the region. It returns an integer matching one of the following new constants:
    • Added a new option for llHTTPRequest(): HTTP_PRAGMA_NO_CACHE
      • Usage: [HTTP_PRAGMA_NO_CACHE, integer send_header]
      • When send_header is TRUE, the "Pragma: no-cache" header is sent by the script. This matches the default behavior.
      • When send_header is FALSE, no "Pragma" header is sent by the script.
      • See the HTTP specification for more details about this header.
    • Other internal system changes
  • Bug Fixes
    • "Pragma: no-cache" llHTTPRequest() header bug
    • Fixed new crashing bug
  • Known Issues
    • Mesh objects (such as vehicles) cannot physically cross from a region running Havok 2012.1 into a region running an older version of Havok, due to the upgrade to a newer version of the Havok physics engine. Currently (2012-10-17), RC LeTigre is the only channel with the latest Havok upgrade.

  • Features
  • New LSL function integer llSetRegionPos(vector position)
    The object with the script will move the root prim position to the given location. The position is any position within the region. If the position is below ground, it will be set to the ground level at that X,Y spot. The function has no delay or throttle.
    • Returns 1 if the object is successfully placed within 0.1 m of position.
    • Returns 0 and does not move the object if position is more than 10m off region or above 4096m.
    • Returns 0 and does not move the object if the object is dynamic (has physics enabled).
    • Returns 0 and does not move the object if the object can not move to position due to object entry rules, prim limits, bans, etc.
  • "frame_number" option added to llGetEnv()
    Returns an integer that represents the current 'frame' of the simulator. Generally only useful for specific debugging cases.
  • Bug Fixes
    • SVC-7466 A notecard holds more data than a script can read
    • SVC-7520 Keyframe motion doesn't move towards the correct position when specified time is not an exact multiple of 1/45 seconds

    • New physics engine
      • Overhaul how collision shapes are constructed and stored in memory.

        • For convex prims (dynamic and static)
        • Concave prims (static only)
        • For small prims ( <~0.2m on a side ) it can't be completely removed so those objects may still exhibit a gap, but it will typically be smaller than it was before the change.

      This release includes many features that improve the performance and robustness of scripts compiled to Mono. This includes a lot of back end infrastructure work with unit tests and script life cycle to make it easier and safer to work with the script system in the future.
    • New Script Profiling LSL Functions
    • Bug Fixes
      • SVC-3895 Rezzing Mono scripted object cripples sim FPS
      • Improved 'Top Scripts' report
        Each object now reports an average script time per frame since the object was created or the last 30 minutes, whichever is shorter. This fixes a lot of odd behavior and misinformation in the previous results as well as makes it easier to determine recent lag sources instead of only immediate lag sources.
        It is still not expected for this result to exactly match the 'Script ms' reported in the simulator stats summary as these measure different things on different time scales.
      • (Fixed a) Sim crash in mono memory monitor.
      • Includes the fix that caused the zero day rollback.
      • Improved simulator performance when removing objects with scripts from a region.
      • Fixed a bug that could cause scripts to crash with NullReferenceException errors.
      • Fix for "Periods of very low (or nonexistent) script performance"
      • Fix for SCR-55 "script reset"
      • Fix for SCR-76 "llRegionSayTo() silently fails in LSL2 scripts"

11.04.19.226946

  • THIS BRANCH ROLLED BACK
    • After deploy an unbeforeseen crashing bug made itself known and we deployed Second Life Server 11.04.12.226461 here instead.
  • Kelly's "Mono2 Upgrade" project, deployed 2011-04-20
    • Script performance and robustness
      This release includes many features that improve the performance and robustness of scripts compiled to Mono. This includes a lot of back end infrastructure work with unit tests and script life cycle to make it easier and safer to work with the script system in the future.
    • New Script Profiling LSL Functions
    • Bug Fixes
      • SVC-3895 Rezzing Mono scripted object cripples sim FPS
      • Improved 'Top Scripts' report
        Each object now reports an average script time per frame since the object was created or the last 30 minutes, whichever is shorter. This fixes a lot of odd behavior and misinformation in the previous results as well as makes it easier to determine recent lag sources instead of only immediate lag sources.
        It is still not expected for this result to exactly match the 'Script ms' reported in the simulator stats summary as these measure different things on different time scales.
      • (Fixed a) Sim crash in mono memory monitor.
