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!

There will be no releases next week until the new year.

[Honza Noyes]

Thanks a lot Oscar, great job on pushing the llTransferLindenDollars to the whole grid. Great job Lindens!

[MB Robonaught]

No releases? Tell Santa linden we've been good!! lol

By no releases do you mean no new features or no rolling restarts until after the first?

Oskar, I tried to let LL know about a problem with the 11.12.03.246118 server code currently running on LeTigre/Mangum by creating https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-7537. It was closed as a duplicate even though it is not.

I am sure that when you release that code to the main channel you will have a LOT of broken teleporters, because PosJump does not work on many of the sims running that code. I spent most of yesterday tracking that down, and I can confirm it is only regions running 11.12.03.246118 that has the problem, although not ALL regions running that code has the problem.

If you want to see it for yourself, go to Voidicus, rez a cube, and put the script that is in that JIRA to reproduce it. JumpPos / WarpPos is limited to 10m in that sim, along with lots of other Magnum/LeTigre regions. Unlike the JIRA that this JIRA is supposedly a duplicate of, PosJump fails regardless of land ownership or parcel permission settings.

 

[Triple Peccable]

Ok, it is official now. PosJump was working fine in the region Meander until the restart, now it is limited to 10m and failing every time.

 

[Oskar Linden]

The posjump issue seems to be unrelated to the recent server release or even the kernel upgrade. It has been broken in certain situations for a while now. We have an option to offer a new feature to mimic the capabilities but won't have it out until early next year.

[Triple Peccable]

Oskar, I can assure you that several main channel regions had a *working* posJump before 11.12.03.246118 was rolled to it today, and now they do not. I can provide you with a list if you like.

The incidious thing about this particular bug is that it does not affect every region running 11.12.03.246118.

Choose to believe me or not, I sincerely believe the problem was greatly multiplied today because this a *new* jumpPos bug introduced in the LeTigre channel but not caught in time.

I will continue to collect a list of the regions where it is now completely broken, just let me know if that list becomes valuable at some point in the future.

ETA: jumpPos continues to work in every BlueSteel region I have checked. And up until today's roll, it was also working in every Main Channel region I checked (which was a lot).

Is next week some sort of science fiction week that contains years

llGetParcelMusic() seems to work fine on Le Tigre so hopefully all will be well with this week's roll.

[Ayesha Askham]

OK I'm still having great difficulty getting in to this forum to Post, and it isn't the browser I use...what gives?

 

@Oskar,

This may seem irrelevant, but I'm going to ask anyway.  In HELP>About in my Firestorm 3.2.2.24336 I get the server version listed as 11.12.03.246118, instead of 11.12.02.246118, which I see in the Release notes.  Any idea why?

I guess when we roll this UK afternoon it'll no longer be a problem, but I wondered if you happened to know why this might have occurred?

 

[Maestro Linden]

Hi Ayesha, that discrepancy was a typo in the release notes; 11.12.03.246118 is the real version number for this week's main channel upgrade.  I just fixed the references to it in the wiki.

[Ayesha Askham]

Thankyou Maestro:smileyhappy:

Feel free to use my location to verify failure regarding JumpPos/WarpPos.

The cause has been at least partially discovered. See the last comments on this JIRA:

https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-7265

It turns out that if the parcel at 0,0 (the SW corner of the sim) has object entry turned off, PosJump fails.
