Release Notes for Second Life 1.22(0) November 20th, 2008
| |||||||||
New features:
- Added: VWR-3434: New feature for text chat: "Whisper" as well as Say and Shout.
Changes:
- Changed: VWR-8689: Change the location of "Mute" in the pie menu to avoid mis-clicks
- Changed: Replaced the View > Beacons sub-menu with its own window for more accurate control
- Changed: Replaced pick rendering with a raycast method, to increase performance
Picking refers to identifying the object that is under your cursor. For example, when you alt-zoom, left-click, right-click, etc, a "pick" is performed to calculate what object you clicked on. For alt-zooming, it also determines where in 3D space you clicked. In version 1.22, the method for picking was refactored to use a raycasting method, which has enormous performance advantages.
However, the picking of avatars who are wearing non-prim clothes or no clothes is no longer pixel perfect (this is a known limitation). In some circumstances, this will cause unacceptable usability issues while we tune the behavior during the 1.22 Release Candidate cycle. Please read Known Issue VWR-10342 for more information and feedback.
- Added: new info display, Advanced > Rendering > Info Displays > Raycasting
- Removed: Remove Advanced > Compress Snapshots to Disk (no longer support .j2c now that .jpg is available for Snapshots)
- Added: Implement dynamic time-outs in the viewer to support fetches of large inventories over HTTP/TCP
- NOTE: This is not yet enabled on the Server.
Temporary Changes:
We have enabled some special debugging checks during the Release Candidate cycle. These have a short-term effect of causing the viewer to crash more when something goes wrong, but it assists Linden Lab to improve stability by identifying those failure cases. We appreciate that you send us crash reports that occur! These extra checks WILL be removed in a later iteration of the Release Candidate. But these can be turned off by a Resident:
- Turned on Thread monitoring (Watchdog) during the Release Candidate cycle
- Thread monitor will detect when the application is frozen for a period greater than 20 seconds and possibly force a crash with detailed logs
- Thread monitor can be disabled with a command line setting "--set WatchdogEnabled 0"
- The threshold timing of the thread monitor is set in the file \SecondLifeReleaseCandidate\app_settings\settings.xml under the key "MainloopTimeoutDefault"
Bug Fixes:
- Partial Fix: VWR-8932: 1.21 RC - Script editor performance degrades with large scripts
