Deploys for the week of 2011-08-29

[Oskar Linden]

Not a very exciting week release-wise. Not as exciting as mesh was last week, but being a regular release week should be nice. Let's hope it goes smoothly. We decided to promote the code that was on LeTigre to the main channel.

Second Life Server (main channel)

This channel has some fixes and tweaks related to passing login info to estates.

• Login fixes to retrieve user information more effectively for estate access control
• Simulator fixes to usher said user that information more effectively for estate access control

Second Life RC BlueSteel

This channel will remain the same and has parcel rezzing and prim editing fixes.

Second Life RC Magnum

Magnum contains the project that attempted to be released last week. This includes changes that were made to the permissions system and to simulator configuration. There should be no impact on existing builds. Additionally the fixes from the BlueSteel region were added to this branch.

We will be monitoring this thread during the next week so please feel free to post issues that you feel have been introduced by the new code. Please file a JIRA for issues you find and post the JIRA link into this thread. It really helps us out. When determining if issues are relevant or not research is key. Tracking down exactly the right situation where an issue is occurring greatly speeds up the development process to get fixes in place.

I appreciate your help. Have a good week!

::Twacks Oskars knuckles with a ruler:: stop copying from the internal wiki access. the css links to bullet images that popup an authentication dialog for us normal users.... anything that points to "wiki.lindenlab"

[Peewee Musytari]

Oh nooooo not again *facepaws*

Oskar can ya fix your posts please, see http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Forums-Feedback/Wiki-Authentication-Login/td-p/1065433

Excitement is over-rated as a concept

@Oskar

Two things.  Firstly was there a particular reason for the restart to begin one hour earlier than usual this week?

Secondly as Void and Peewee have more eloquently put  it, please stop this login floater issue, it is more than off-putting it is damned sloppy.  Also I noticed today that despite my logging on to post this, the page still displayed a "sign in" request at top right until I hit "reply".  Also every action I take on this page now brings up that damned floater.

What with Void brandishing a ruler and Peewee doing what Peewee does..nothing I could add would be half as potent, but, please, Oskar....get it sorted.

[Peewee Musytari]

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! *happy dances around the room* This one is fixed!!

Thankyou Oskar (or whoever fixed it) last week's is still broken, but new stuff is on page 2 of that one now & the login only comes up on page 1 so I can live with that lol
