** 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
*** [[llScriptProfiler]] can enable or disable memory profiling with [[PROFILE_SCRIPT_MEMORY]] and [[PROFILE_SCRIPT_NONE]]. While profiling the scripts performance will be severely impacted.
*** [[llGetSPMaxMemory]] will report the highest level of used memory during the most recent, or current, profiling run.
*** [[llGetUsedMemory]] will report the current used memory of the script and does not require profiling to be enabled.
**Bug Fixes
*** {{Jira|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.
