Deploys for the week of 2011-06-13

[Oskar Linden]

We had intended to promote the mono2-performance branch this week, but a late issue is preventing us. There will be no Tuesday release. We will update each of the RC channels on Wednesday with fixed code.

Second Life Server (main channel)

No main channel release today!

Second Life RC Magnum

This project is keeping the "mesh-prep" branch after getting some more bug fixes. This contains infrastructure and framework updates to get the grid ready for mesh. It does not include any mesh features or functionality. The physics engine has been updated and the 10cm gap between colliding objects has been removed for some objects. 

The llCastRay() function has been included, but it is disabled..

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!

We also have an email list where we communicate upcoming projects and how you can help. ( https://lists.secondlife.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/server-beta ) Once a week we meet on ADITI to discuss new features, new bugs, new fixes, and other fun stuff. You are more than welcome.

That's twice in a quarter (and year) that the main Second Life server channel NOT to have rolling restarts! So I can relax today.

[Void Singer]

third actually =)

Could this be the reason our sim has recently had periods of intense lag (and when I say intense, I mean frozen entirely for several minutes) and then a crash, followed by longer downtime than one would expect even after a region restart?  It has happened a few times, three at least this evening, and has been the source of a fair level of frustration.  I attempted to get some help and information in live chat but was given a link for an abuse report, then told to file a ticket upon attempting to clarify my concerns, and then given an "I don't know" when i asked if there had been an increase in crashes, so having been completely blown off I am at a loss as to where to turn next for some communication that i can understand.

It would help a lot to know which version of the server code is running your region.

 

[Oskar Linden]

Which region?

[FireEyes Fauna]

I'm not sure if this is related to the update, because it started happening a couple days ago, but there are major issues with Isabel region.

You are at 260646.5, 254184.5, 81.5 in Isabel located at sim20323.agni.lindenlab.com (216.82.27.98:13000)
Second Life RC Magnum 11.06.14.232906

When I login to the sim (or teleport to the sim) the parcel information never loads, i'm stuck hearing the stream from the previous parcel i was in, and my groups show as 'none'.  Isabel is the only sim that shows on the minimap while there, and you can't see any of the neighboring sims either.  Is anyone else on Magnum experiencing these same issues? I thought I would have read about something.  I've submitted a ticket, but posting here in case it's update related.

I don't think it's been happening since last Wednesday (or Thursday, can't remember which day Magnum rolled) but possibly it's taken this long for the bug to manifest.

Hi, the same symptoms were visible on Gallii earlier this week, that region is in Second Life Server channel. It got better after a couple of relogs and a friend was not affected exactly the same way, so I am thinking that it could have been a network problem somewhere.
