Beta/Snack
What is Snack?
Snack is the nickname for an additional 'Server Release Candidate' channel that we use occasionally. It is similar to BlueSteel, LeTigre, and Magnum, but in a much smaller dose, like a snack.
Snack Release Channel
This is the Snack Release Channel. Information on what this specific channel may contain is in the release notes below. For more information on beta projects, see: Beta Server Office Hours.
Timeframe
Snack can come and go for any unspecified timeframe. It will be at our discretion based on the needs we decide a project requires.
Additional Info
Snack will only be on two simhosts. We may potentially ask for resident volunteers to fill the extra regions slots. These 4 sandbox regions will be open when a Snack RC is deployed. You are welcome to use them to test the new code. The regions are available to members of the group "Second Life Beta". Please join this group: http://world.secondlife.com/group/19657888-576f-83e9-2580-7c3da7c0e4ca
If they are closed that means there is no RC using that channel.

12.10.19.266068
- This is a maint-server project.
- Scheduled 2012-10-24
- New features
- Added llGetObjectDetails() flags OBJECT_ROOT and OBJECT_ATTACHED_POINT
- OBJECT_ROOT returns the id of the root prim of the object's linkset
- If called on an avatar, returns the id of the root prim of the linkset the avatar is sitting on (or the avatar's own id if the avatar is not sitting on an object within the region)
- Return type is a Key
- OBJECT_ATTACHED_POINT returns the attachment point to which the object is attached
- Returns 0 if the object is not an attachment (or is an avatar, etc)
- Return type is an Integer
- OBJECT_ROOT returns the id of the root prim of the object's linkset
- Added llGetObjectDetails() flags OBJECT_ROOT and OBJECT_ATTACHED_POINT
- Bug Fixes
- Linkability distance rules are broken
- Group won't load - too many members. This provides a new capability to viewers to fetch member lists for large groups.
- Get the development viewer here:
- Converted over 50 hard-coded messages on the server to a localizable data format that can be properly displayed in the correct language in the viewer. A future viewer release will contain the messages and tags for translation.
- Thanks to a newly added capability the simulator can now report information about script permissions granted to objects within a region. A future viewer update will use this.
- Restored functionality of the Estate Tools, Debug, Disable collisions feature. Invoking this feature will put the affected region into a state with very limited physics. This is useful when trying to untangle performance issues or clear unwanted objects.
- Known Issues
- llSensor() will not work as expected.
- Breedables may not be able to find mates
- Breedables may not be able to find food
- May cause uncontrollable weeping
- llSensor() will not work as expected.
