* This is a server maintenance project
* Scheduled 2014-01-08 for RC BlueSteel, RC LeTigre, and RC Magnum
* Bug Fixes
** Fixed some crash modes
* New Features
** The forced delay in [[llLoadURL]] has been reduced to 0.1 seconds
** New LSL functions for uniformly scaling linksets
*** [[integer]] [[llScaleByFactor]]([[float]] scaling_factor)
**** Uniformly resizes the linkset by the given multiplicative scale factor (e.g. 2.0 to double the scale in all dimensions)
**** Returns [[TRUE]] if rescaling was successful or [[FALSE]] otherwise
**** This function only succeeds in non-physical objects
**** Rescaling is subject to [[Linkability_Rules]] and [[Limits#Building|prim scale limits]]
*** [[float]] [[llGetMinScaleFactor]]()
**** Returns the minimum multiplicative scale factor which can be used by [[llScaleByFactor]](); i.e. such that every prim in the linkset is >=1cm in scale
*** [[float]] [[llGetMaxScaleFactor]]()
**** Returns the maximum multiplicative scale factor which can be used by [[llScaleByFactor]](); i.e. such that every prim in the linkset is <=64m '''and''' the resulting [[Link#Link_Set|linkset]] meets the [[Linkability_Rules|linkability requirements]]
** Preliminary support for custom default permissions on newly-created objects
*** This feature requires support from an unreleased viewer
** Preliminary support for the viewer fetching the LSL syntax rules from the simulator, for up-to-date syntax highlighting in the script editor

**** 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 [[LlWanderWithin|wander]], [[LlFleeFrom|flee]], [[LlEvade|evade]], and [[LlPursue|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 [[Template:LSL_Constants/ReturnError|error constants]] for [[llReturnObjectsByID]] and [[llReturnObjectsByOwner]]:
**** [[ERR_GENERIC]] = -1;
**** [[ERR_PARCEL_PERMISSIONS]] = -2;
**** [[ERR_MALFORMED_PARAMS]] = -3;

* Scheduled 2013-04-17, for RC BlueSteel, RC LeTigre, and RC Magnum
* Features
** [[CHANGED_REGION]] and [[CHANGED_TELEPORT]] [[changed]]() events will now be called on child prims ({{Jira|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]] {{LSL Parameter Link|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)
**** Get the name of the animation currently set for the given animation state.
**** Requires ''either'' new runtime permissions [[PERMISSION_OVERRIDE_ANIMATIONS]] ''or'' [[PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION]]
*** [[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 [[Release_Notes/Second_Life_RC_BlueSteel/13#13.04.01.273300|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 ({{Jira|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.

=== 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.

** Fixed a bug that would cause some "out of view" moving objects to stop getting updates thereby causing their motion to be incorrectly extrapolated into the camera's view.  There may still some occurrences of the bug, but it has been greatly reduced ({{Jira|PATHBUG-183}})
** Fixed a bug on region crossing that would cause the viewer to cease getting updates from the recently departed region and would cause the region to "disappear" momentarily about 50 seconds after departure ({{Jira|BUG-141}})
* Known issues
** If an avatar crosses between regions while seated on an object, he will briefly disappear and reappear from other avatars' views

13.09.04.280593

  • This is preparatory work for future asset fetching improvements
  • Scheduled 2013-09-05 for RC BlueSteel, RC LeTigre, and RC Magnum
  • New Features
    • When connections between viewer and webservices were closed by the server, the last response was sent without a 'Content-Length' or 'Transfer-Encoding: chunked' header. Last response will now be sent with 'chunked' encoding.
    • Throttling actions on Capabilities URL result in 503 status codes back to clients. These responses may include a 'Retry-After' header with a delta time giving a hint as to when the client may retry the request. In the absense of such a header, client is expected to make 'reasonable, best-practices' delayed retry attempts.
    • Adds support for a new capability, 'GetMesh2' for fetching mesh assets with keepalives enabled

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()

  • Scheduled 2013-06-19 for RC BlueSteel, RC LeTigre, and RC Magnum
  • 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)
    • llReturnObjectsByID() is now prevented from returning other objects which are owned by the parcel owner or estate owner/manager.

  • 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)

      • 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.
    • Includes changes from Second Life Server 13.04.05.273580

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.

  • Features
    • Less lag for very crowded regions:
      • Faster sorting of visible objects.
      • Faster construction of ObjectUpdate packets
    • Less bandwidth:
      • Fewer update packets for moving objects that are out of view.
      • Fewer updates for for wind data.

      • Improved sorting of objects near to far.
      • More correct object bounding volumes used for server-side culling.
      • More correct camera position for server-side culling.
      • More correct visibility checks for VERY BIG objects (>32m diameter bounding sphere) that are near limit of viewer draw distance.
