      • testing guidelines
        • use physical stuff
        • hit it hard
    • HTTP Textures
      • Transport of textures from the simulator over HTTP instead of via UDP this should enable more reliable and faster texture loading in the viewer, to enable the feature in viewer 2 use the develop menu and enable HTTP Textures.
    • LSL Changes
      • llGetLinkNumberOfSides(integer linknum);
      • New primitiveparam: PRIM_DESC
      • New primitiveparam: PRIM_NAME
    • Region Crossing Improvements
      • (improvements for avatars with and without attachments on region crossings and teleporting into regions) Improvements are based on how the region handles the crossing and not related to changes in the scripting engine, these improvements dont apply to region crossing on a vehicle. These improvements should allow faster crossing as well as a less spiky simulator fps when avatars enter a region.
    • Maintenance Bugfixes
      • SVC-388: llGetScriptName() returns script's old name
      • SVC-3306: Add enumeration to llPassCollisions() to provide PASS_ALWAYS, PASS_IF_NOT_HANDLED, and PASS_NEVER as explicit options
      • SVC-1773: STATUS_BLOCK_GRAB only affects individual prims in a linkset
      • User can still access a group owned location after being ejected from the group if their home location is set to the group land.
      • SVC-3556: Intra-Region teleport not possible when region is full
      • SVC-1150: llOverMyLand returns false positives when avatar is not over owner's land but close by in another sim
    • A few more things that require a new viewer and will be going into public beta soon.
  • Getting private regions into ADITI for 1.40 testing (please use SVC-5755)
