Release Notes for Second Life 1.20(10) June 12th, 2008

New features:

Added five texture constants for referencing in llSetLinkTexture:
- TEXTURE_BLANK is the non-transparent blank texture, equivalent to UUID "5748decc-f629-461c-9a36-a35a221fe21f"
- TEXTURE_DEFAULT is the default plywood texture, equivalent to UUID "89556747-24cb-43ed-920b-47caed15465f"
- TEXTURE_PLYWOOD is the default plywood texture, equivalent to UUID "89556747-24cb-43ed-920b-47caed15465f"
- TEXTURE_TRANSPARENT is a fully transparent texture, equivalent to UUID "8dcd4a48-2d37-4909-9f78-f7a9eb4ef903"
- TEXTURE_MEDIA is the default Media texture, equivalent to UUID "8b5fec65-8d8d-9dc5-cda8-8fdf2716e361"
- Note: TEXTURE_DEFAULT is a synonym for TEXTURE_PLYWOOD
- Compatibility Note:
  - Scripts using these constants will run smoothly in all Second Life viewers, however previous versions of the viewer will NOT be able to edit and recompile scripts using the new constants. Older versions will report "(XX,YY) : ERROR : Name not defined within scope" when trying to compile such a script.
  - If you are using an older version of the viewer that does not support the TEXTURE_ contants and want to edit and recompile scripts with a TEXTURE_ constant, then you have to revert to the earlier LSL requirement to use the UUID of the texture you want to use.
  - The TEXTURE_TRANSPARENT texture will be gray unless you view it with a viewer that supports this transparent texture (1.20.10 or above).

Changes:

Watchdog is disabled in settings for final Release Candidates
VWR-7315: "TEXTURE_DEFAULT" is a bad constant name (This now refers to Plywood texture.)

Release Notes for Second Life 1.20(7) May 16th, 2008

New features and changes:

Moved "Set Window Size" options from File menu into Preferences > Graphics
Newly created avatars without a gender, or any avatar where "clothing is still downloading" are rendered as a cloud rather than naked/wrong body shape
Directly interacting with a muted resident will unmute them, with a note logged in the Chat history (VWR-1735)
Fly button is now shown as disabled when you are sitting

Group Info > Notices tab explains the storage limits of 200 notices and 14 days
Added OpenGL monitoring via Advanced menu > Rendering > Debug GL option to turn on extra rendering error checking and help reproduce crashes
Added beta support for basic voice lipsync for voice visualization (VWR-4794) - via Advanced menu > Character
The 'camera shutter' soundclip/animation plays whenever a new image is acquired by Snapshot Preview (this camera shutter sound indicates, like a real camera, that you have taken a new picture of the world). The sound does not play repeatedly if auto-snapshot is on
Disabled the Snapshot Preview > Auto-snapshot checkbox, unless Freeze Frame checkbox is set. (This clarifies that Auto-snapshot previously only worked in this case.)

Clicking on resident names in Local Chat or in a Group IM will open their Profile page
- The color of clickable resident names uses the same color as URL hyperlinks in chat. These may be changed in Preferences > Text Chat > color picker for "URLs"

- TEXTURE_PLYWOOD is the plywood texture, equivalent to "89556747-24cb-43ed-920b-47caed15465f"
- TEXTURE_TRANSPARENT is the default "white transparent" texture, equivalent to "59facb66-4a72-40a2-815c-7d9b42c56f60"
- Note: Scripts using these constants will run smoothly in all Second Life viewers, however previous versions of the viewer will NOT be able to edit and recompile scripts using the new constants. Older versions will report "(XX,YY) : ERROR : Name not defined within scope" when trying to compile such a script.

Thread monitoring to catch freezes:
- A new thread monitor (also referred to as a Watchdog) will detect when the viewer application frozen for a period greater than 10 seconds and possibly force a crash with detailed logs
- Thread monitoring can be disabled by choosing to never report crashes, or with a command line setting "--set WatchdogEnabled 0"
- The threshold timing of the thread monitor is set in the file /app_settings/settings.xml under the key "MainloopTimeoutDefault"

Improved internationalization support:
- Make 'System Default' language option work on Linux and Windows.

We expect the public beta test for Havok4 to be very active, with many participants. We have prepared a test grid that allows for many types of physics-related tests. The test regions will include:

   * Orientation Islands
   * Welcome Areas
   * Lusk
   * Several sandboxes
   * Combat sandboxes
   * Vehicle testing simulators

NOTE: The Public Beta viewer will be configured to use the beta grid, which will be a snapshot copy of portions of the main grid and a copy of your user account. You can do "anything you want" on this grid without risking damage to your "real account" on the main grid.

How Do I Stay "In The Loop" With Havok4 Testing?

  1. Attend Regular Havok4 Office Hours In-World
  2. TELL US about everything you find using the Public Issue Tracker
     (https://jira.secondlife.com)

Please enter bugs using:

   * PROJECT "Second Life Service - SVC"
   * COMPONENT "Physics"!

Known Issues

The following issues are known in the current Second Life Havok4 build, and several of them are already being worked on. We decided not to hold off on releasing the public beta for these, and will update the server code on the public beta test simulators as we have fixes completed.

   * Kart stops too quickly (and tumbles too easily when going over bumps, 
     as well as some odd collision behavior) 
   * Bonifacio has very high script time (and is running VERY slowly) 
   * Short-range teleport script not working correctly 
   * Flocking birds script behaves differently on Havok4 (birds acquire 
     extra energy over time and eventually "rocket" out of sim) 
   * Some physical TargetOmega objects do not spin 
   * Sitting on anything but top face of a box will fail 
   * C-Tech 2050 hover ship spirals out of control after several minutes 
     of flying and turning 
   * Sitting avatars do not always contact seat 
   * Making an object non-physical while it's rolling leaves it rotating 
   * Bouncing off of a plane is different if the plane is physical or 
     non physical 
   * Drop a large cube on a small cube, they interpenetrate when they 
     shouldn't 
   * A sphere interpenetrating into a larger object can launch both 
   * Physical spheres on uneven ground sink into the ground 
   * Your avatar direction does not update on other viewers (Avatar A 
     turns, avatar b's viewer does not update showing the rotation until 
     Avatar A does something else such as walk, run, jump or fly) 
   * In some cases maximum link distance exceeds 32m 
   * Vehicles collide with phantom tubes, rings, and torii

Release Notes for Second Life 1.19.1(0) March 6th, 2008

New features and changes:

Physically accurate atmospheric rendering and lighting (previously code named WindLight)
- Animateable day cycles
- Vastly improved realistic water with reflections and glimmer
- "Glow" as new object attribute
- Avatar Impostoring, which can speed up crowded scenes tremendously
- A new cleaned-up, easy to use Graphics Preferences tab with simple and advanced options for performance/quality settings

Additional rendering optimizations:
- Faster, more reliable occlusion culling - occluded regions are discovered instantaneously, eliminating random bad frames due to the camera moving too quickly
- No geometry transform overhead on region crossing - results in region crossings being slightly smoother
- Faster frustum culling - less time is spent determining what's visible, thus giving better overall framerates
- No copy-to-texture for ripple water - objects under water are rendered to texture at half resolution, resulting in better overall framerates
- Faster sky updates - the non-WindLight (aka no-shader) skies update quicker - even faster than the pre-WindLight skies!
- Single pass shiny when using shaders - making an object shiny will no longer require it to be rendered twice, which results in virtually free shiny functionality from a performance standpoint
- Single pass terrain when using shaders - the terrain is no longer drawn in two passes, which, from a performance standpoint, results in virtually free high detail terrain for shader friendly cards (See the System Recommendations at http://secondlife.com/corporate/sysreqs.php)
- Improved object update code (less work for the CPU) - attachments are no longer added to the active list, which improves performance in crowded areas
- Better scheduling of Avatar LOD (Level of Detail) updates - Avatar LOD is now calculated every 16 frames as opposed to every single frame, which removes redundant work
- Better Avatar culling through more accurate bounding boxes - Avatar bounding boxes now match their current animation, resulting in more optimized culling of avatars that are not visible in the frame
- Better tree rendering (70% fewer matrix operations, no reliance on GL matrix stack) - results in improved performance for tree rendering
- Trimmed unused state in LLDrawable, LLSpatialGroup, LLOctree, and LLFace - results in memory savings
- 16-bit index buffers are now used instead of 32-bit buffers - improves memory bandwidth for rendering geometry
- For more information, see: https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/WindLight
- Known Issue:
  - VWR-1749: Second Life viewer client freezes on MacBook Pro

Parcel Media - adds the ability to display Web based media on a parcel
- New API for Media Rendering
- Enables Web content inworld
- Added two new click actions, one for playing movies, and one for opening media
- Embedded web browser
- Added support for Media resizing

Estate-Level Abuse Reporting
- Estate owners and managers now have the ability (under World > Region/Estate) to enter an email address where abuse reports will be sent.
- If this address is empty, abuse reports will go to Linden Lab as usual. If the address is present, the abuse reports will be sent there instead. In both cases, all abuse reports are logged by Linden Lab.

Voice changes
- Changed the default voice volume to be a bit higher, to better match the volume of in-world sounds
- Changed the voice volume slider to default to the middle of its range, so voice volume can be boosted above the default

Improved Linux Voice support
- Better support for USB headsets and other devices
- Better voice audio quality

Release Notes for Second Life 1.17.0(107) June 1, 2007

New features:

Group voice chat is available. This enables group voice conversation between avatars all across the grid, no matter where avatars are located in relation to each other.
Group voice chat is available for both "formal" Second Life groups and ad hoc groups (as is the case for text chat).
Group voice chat for "formal" Second Life groups can be initiated by clicking on the Groups tab in the Chatterbox and double-clicking on the group with which you'd like to chat.
Group voice chat with two or more friends can be initiated by clicking on the Friends tab in the Chatterbox, selecting multiple friends from the list, and clicking the "Call/IM" button.
If you were speaking in a spatial voice channel prior to joining a group voice chat, you will return to the same spatial voice channel after leaving the group voice chat.
The Talk button on the Voice tab contains a volume indicator (a dot to the right of the button text "Talk") that shows how loudly YOU are speaking. Green indicates a normal volume, red indicates too loud a volume (a standard across speaking indicators for voice).
Volume control and mute options are disabled on the "Near Me" tab in the Chatterbox when your own name is selected in the list of speakers.

Known Issues

Users do not see a notification or visible invitation to group voice conversations. We expect this to be fixed in the next release, so users can accept or reject calls and receive feedback that they've successfully joined.
Private voice chat with a single other user is not yet implemented.
