Agenda

Updates

• Main Channel
  • Andrew's maint-server branch
    • Fixed a security issue related to deleting other people's objects.
    • Fixed two simulator crash modes.
    • Removed some unnecessary server logs.
    • Fixed SVC-6678: Changing Regions Very fast Causes " No Valid Agent ID "
    • Fixed SVC-6723: Scripted and linked objects not behaving properly when crossing parcel boundaries
    • Updates to Parcel API for supporting large land owners
    • NEW Feature added in 11.02.03.220327:
      • "Threaded Rez": Object rezzing is moved to a separate thread. This should minimize lag instances when complex objects are rezzed in a region.
  • https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Release_Notes/Second_Life_Server/11
• Magnum
  • This has some new bug fixes. I'm calling it "server-maint" to differentiate it from "maint-server"
  • Bugs Fixed
    • SVC-6781: Duplicating old attachments does not copy attachment point/position/rotation info
    • Some people may notice a slight improvement in regions with heavy object creationg/deletion. (Maestro claims he saw his object-creation benchmark speed up from 14 obj/sec to 17 obj/sec. Nothing was changed in object creation, however we did clean up object deletion, and Maestro's benchmark deletes objects as fast as they are created.)
