Release Notes

 

Moonshine was originally a slang term used to describe high-proof distilled spirits usually produced illicitly, without government authorization. In recent years, however, moonshine has been legalized in various countries and has become a term of art. Legal in the United States since 2010, moonshine is defined as "clear, unaged whiskey".

This deploy is filled with a jigger of crash fixes, a splash of translation fixes and a kick that will make you say "I can't feel my face anymore!"

New Features:

  • Better information on animations: Develop->Avatar->Animation Info
    • all '0000' cases don't happen for own avatar (it is fine for others)
    • inventory animations display animation name
    • in-world animations marked as such
  • Expanded Inventory:
    • Added Worn tab with option to show selection in Main panel
    • My Inventory > Gear menu > Show filters:
      • Created by me, Created by others
      • Search by Name, Description, Creator, UUID

Ongoing infrastructure work:

  • Increased minimum & default cache size. Added cache version guard. Additional work on viewer caches is ongoing.
  • Viewer will no longer hammer login during an outage.
  • Logging changes & cleanup.

Odd UI behaviors fixed:

  • If SLVoice process crashes, we’ll now disable the Speak button, so that you’re not laboring under false pretext.
  • Typing a slash in the internal browser no longer moves focus to the chat window.
  • You were not able to save login credentials on clean install, but now you are, thanks to Nicky Dasmijn.
  • Inventory & Marketplace Listings floaters had oddly small scroll zones.
  • System information was truncated in JIRA issues filed through "Help -> Report bug" when viewer language is not set to English. We like and use that information, so that’s fixed now.
  • Correctly display time & date in all languages in About Second Life.

Other odd behaviors made less odd:

  • Avatar used to stop near the region's border when crossing it with autopilot, but now it will boldly go where you told it to go.
  • In the past, local viewer wouldn’t show seated avatar following the seat object when object would move. Now everything moves smoothly as it should.
  • Changing avatar sex while sitting used to break animations until relogging. No longer!
  • If you cut an item and delete it, it will actually delete.
  • Flexi-prims used to flap wildly in a high-fps viewer, but will now flap no more than 60fps.
  • We now won’t allow you to add your own avatar to rendering exceptions list. Apparently, that makes you invisible.

Bucket of Bug fixes :

  • Videos will no longer keep playing in the internal browser after you’ve closed the browser window.
  • If you log in on a dev grid, you get that grid’s search.
  • Auto-open debug console if any "Info to Debug Console" operations are picked
  • Unicode install path FTL & other bugfixes.
  • Crash report was not generated/sent if appdata path contains unicode symbols. That’s bad, we want all the crashes.
  • Various crash fixes and speculative crash fixes.
  • Outfit Gallery was leaking memory. Now we give it back when done with it.
  • Outfit gallery would duplicate photos for an outfit in some cases. No more of that annoying behavior.
  • The "Confirm before deleting filtered items" notification no longer appears when deleting Marketplace listings
  • Several fixes to Avatar picker floater to better pick avatars with.
  • Search Places checkbox was not showing correctly to non-land-owners. That was weird.
  • Added missing translations.
