  • obvious, one file, 10 lines, Had spoken about this last time, but not imported (NB)

Performance/Optimized memory consumption

• VWR-777 - indra/llwindow/files.win32.lst: add llkeyboardwin32.cpp, llwindowwin32.cpp - Dzonatas Sol
• obvious, it allows us to use a custom SConstruct to build the viewer on VC8 without constant updates to the VC8 project files every new source version. I've gotten e-mails with interest about this. Dzonatas Sol 00:35, 10 June 2007 (PDT)
• VWR-631 - need Second Life Viewer compiled under Solaris x86 and SPARC - Whoops Babii

• VWR-105 - SConstruct improvements - Hiro Sommambulist
• VWR-225 - SConstruct: create newview lib before final link - Dzonatas Sol
  • 3 votes
  • This issue most likely will grow stale. If we don't want to leave open very low priority issues then close. Dzonatas Sol 20:44, 9 June 2007 (PDT)

Assorted

• VWR-287 - Inconsistent behaviour between agent_slide_left / agent_slide_right, and the rest of the movement functions. - Ryozu Kojima

  • VWR-184 - Visual Studio 2005 Solution and Project Files - Eddy Stryker
• SVC-104 - llBase64ToInteger caveats & bugs - Strife Onizuka

• VWR-190 - Replace HTML Help with Harry Linden's Google Co-op search, or add a button to the HTML Help window to go thee. - SignpostMarv Martin
  • 4 votes
• VWR-102 - md5 slow - Kunnis Basiat
  • probaby a "won't fix" (someone said on the sldev list, that it was planned to do away with the initial MD5 at startup anyway)
