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

13.08.23.280213

  • This is a server maintenance project
  • Scheduled 2013-08-28 for RC BlueSteel, RC LeTigre, and RC Magnum
  • Bug Fixes
    • Fixed a crash mode
    • Addressed a physics-related griefing mode
  • New Features
    • Region restarts initiated by region owners or estate managers are now faster: instead of always waiting the full 'countdown' period, the region will now restart after the last avatar exits the region.
    • Preparatory work to support new estate and parcel access controls

13.08.16.279995

  • This is a server maintenance project
  • Scheduled 2013-08-21 for RC LeTigre
  • Has the same build as RC BlueSteel this week!
  • Bug Fixes
    • Fixed "Sim Crossing Rezzes Objects Surrounding Individuals" (BUG-3547)
      • Greybox attachment issue
    • Fixed "llListen in linked objects is listening at root instead of linked object local position *after re-rezzing the linkset*" (BUG-3291)
      • Attachments always listen at the AV position
    • Fixed a few crash modes
  • New Features
    • "Region should block rezzing and entering during final time before a shutdown"
      • This is to help orderly shutdown of the region.

13.08.12.279749

  • LeTigre is on a new server maintenance project.
  • Scheduled 2013-08-14 for RC LeTigre
  • It only includes a few internal bug fixes which shouldn't show any visible changes to the residents.

13.07.26.279129

  • This is the server side appearance project
  • Scheduled 2013-07-31 for RC LeTigre and RC Magnum
  • New Features
    • Enabled server side appearance.
    • Deprecated and removed the ability of connected viewers to upload baked textures via the UploadBakedTexture capability and via AssetUploadRequest.
      • Client side baked textures are no longer shared with other connected agents, so the functionality was removed.
      • Viewers that do not support server side baking will fail to display avatars correctly.
    • Added IncrementCOFVersion capability, which allows the viewer to request an increment to the cof_version without changing the contents of the current outfit folder.
      • This is intended as a signal to the server side bake system when an item contained by an object in the current outfit folder is modified without any changes to the container.
      • The response to a successful request to the capability includes the current outfit folder version, which could be used for synchronization and verification.
  • More details can be found in these previous announcements:
  • Changes since 13.07.19.278843

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()
    • Added max_materials_per_transaction to /simulator/features cap
      • This number returns the maximum number of materials that can be sent to the "RenderMaterials" capability in a single request.

13.06.18.277494

  • This is a server maintenance project
  • 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.
    • Fixed an issue in which LSL HTTP-in scripts would sometimes see the incorrect URL (BUG-2833)
    • Includes changes from Second Life Server 13.06.07.277164

13.05.04.275247

13.04.26.274921

  • This is a maint-server project
  • Scheduled 2013-05-01, for RC LeTigre
  • 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

        • 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".

    • 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.

  • This is the region crossing improvement project
  • Scheduled 2013-01-23, for RC BlueSteel and RC LeTigre
  • Contains
    • Added background serialization of the Agent and their attachments on region crossing. Reduces the burden of region crossing on sim performance.
  • Fixes since 13.01.04.268719
    • Fixed two crash modes

13.01.14.269041

  • This is the interest list improvement project
  • Scheduled 2013-01-16, for RC BlueSteel and RC LeTigre
  • 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.
      • No more cloud update packets (affects only 1.23 viewers) for legacy cloud sprite distribution.
    • More correct object updates:
      • 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.
    • KillObject messages sent for ALL objects in the region upon deletion, whether the server thinks they are visible on the viewer or not.
    • Less frequent wind variation
  • Bug Fixes
    • Fixed a bug where some regions would fail to send some object update messages to some viewers, in cases where there was a sudden burst of changes and the scene was still in the process of downloading static objects (BUG-655)
    • 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 (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 (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
