Release Notes/Second Life Server/10

"Compression" project scheduled: 2011-01-04
Features
- Compress region crossing data
  Avatar data is compressed when moving/TPing from one region to another. This should decrease the amount of time it takes to move between regions.
  
  This feature will be disabled at initial deploy, and enabled via a config change later.
Bug Fixes
- SVC-6556: Avatar and the ship sails attached to the avatar do not rez beyond 80 meters
- Simulator crash fixes

"Maint Server" deployed: 2010-12-07
Features:
- Scripts now have access to server version
  Ex: llSay(0,llGetEnv("sim_channel") + " " + llGetEnv("sim_version"));
- Content creators have greater access to script usage info
  - The following constants have been added for use with llGetObjectDetails:
    - OBJECT_RUNNING_SCRIPT_COUNT: Returns the number of running scripts on the object
    - OBJECT_TOTAL_SCRIPT_COUNT: Returns the total number of scripts, running or not, on the object
    - OBJECT_SCRIPT_MEMORY: Returns the total script memory used by the object
Bug Fixes:
- SVC-6332: llLinkParticleSystem() causes the avatar to emit particles until a relog
- SVC-5908: Setting VEHICLE_HOVER_HEIGHT to values > 1024 fails to work as intended
- SVC-6204: Group members still being charged group liability for "parcel directory fee" for land on disabled regions
- SVC-6367: Grey goo fence prevents objects from going off world

Deployed: 2010-11-30
"Linkability" project
Bug Fixes
- SVC-5687: llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast does visually not work without delay
- Objects underground should not be returned to inventory.

Deployed: 2010-11-16
Features
- "Threaded Rez": Object rezzing is moved to a separate thread.
  This should minimize lag instances when complex objects are rezzed in a region.
Bug Fixes
- SVC-6399: Online friends not showing online
- SVC-6430: Objects de-render behind you when you look away.

Deployed: 2010-11-09
Features
- Internal tools updates relating to content management
- Enable tcmalloc-1.6 by default to help with memory and performance debugging.
- Simulator disk operations moved into threads for performance reasons.
Bug Fixes
- SVC-6399: Online friends not showing online
- SVC-583: Five minute wait due to "System Logging You Out" happens every time when wearing scripted attachments.
- Several stuck presence issues resolved.
- Simulator crash fixes

Deployed: 2010-11-02
Rolled back to 10.10.18.212360: 2010-11-03
Features
Enable tcmalloc-1.6 by default to help with memory and performance debugging.

Simulator disk operations moved into threads for performance reasons.

Features:
- llSetPrimitiveParams([PRIM_ROT_LOCAL, rotation])
  - Correct child prim rotations are now easier to achieve.
  - This is an implementation of the feature request SVC-129 and an alternative fix for SVC-93
- Server-side support for experimental "SimConsole"
  - Requires viewer-side updates as well, which are not yet widely available.
  - See Beta_Server_Office_Hours/Minutes/2010-10-07 for details.
  - [20:41:11] Oskar Linden: sim console is a new level of trickery to allow people shell like access to the simulator through their vwr

Bug Fixes:
- SVC-6063: Object doesn't appear in Inventory when taken while frozen by grey goo fence
- Simulator does not preserve static objects' CRC values upon restart
  This makes objects have to re-download after a sim restart, instead of pulling from cache.
- Faster terrain collisions
- Simulator crash fix

Bug Fixes:
- Simulator crash modes
- Improvements to the Region Conductor
  This helps down regions come back up more quickly.
- Modifications to deploy tools to support Release Candidates
