Release Notes for Second Life Server 1.24.3 (August 29th, 2008):

Changes:

• Mono is an alternate way to run ordinary LSL scripts. It has advantages of speed and memory management over the current script engine. For more information, see Mono.
  • Note: Although no special viewer is needed to run Mono scripts, to create them you will need a viewer version of 1.21 or later.
  • The 1.21 Release Candidate Viewer is expected to be available the week of August 25th.

• Enabled group moderation features for voice chat.

Changes that require both 1.24 Server *and* 1.21 Viewer (available here under "Release Candidate"):

• New LSL calls for touch "position" in the touch_start(), touch(), and touch_end() events. Each touch() event provides the current surface point data (allowing grabbing, sliders, levers, and all sorts of pseudo GUI builds!):
  • llDetectedTouchUV() - returns the UV coordinates of the point touched.
  • llDetectedTouchFace() - returns the face of the point touched.
  • llDetectedTouchPos() - returns the world coordinates of the point touched.
  • llDetectedTouchNormal() - returns the surface normal of the point touched.
  • llDetectedTouchBinormal() - returns the surface bi-normal of the point touched.
  • llDetectedTouchST() - call to query surface coordinates.

• Script performance now measured in "events per second" (eps) instead of "instructions per second" (ips)
  • 1.21 viewers will show "Script events" in the statistics window (ctrl-sht-1), but the metric will only have useful data for regions running 1.24.
  • Earlier viewers will show the legacy "Script perf" in the stat window, but its value will only be useful for regions running 1.23.
  • Once 1.24 is deployed gridwide, the only way to obtain useful script performance info will be with a 1.21 or later viewer

• New feature to return all objects on an estate
  • MISC-713^[c]: Add "Return All Objects" as an estate-wide feature for a specified resident

• New info added:
  • Add Time Stamp to Parcel Object List
  • Add Time Stamp to Top Scripts Colliders List
  • Add more categories to Help -> Report Abuse..

Fixes:

• Three security fixes
