Scheduled Tuesday, February 28, between 06:30 - 11:30 PST.

 

Second Life RC

The RC channels will be rolled during their usual time slot on Wednesday.  The majority of the RC regions will be restarted without a version change, while a minority ("BlueSteel" group) will get a new build.  The new build is the same as 2023-02-02.578100 which entered RC 2 weeks ago, except that it also includes a fix for BUG-233402.  Aside from bug fixes, this build also includes several exciting new LSL features:

• New function llReplaceSubString(): find and replace instances of one substring with another string
• New function llHMAC(): generate the HMAC hash of a message
• New function llSignRSA(): generate an RSA signature of a message, given a private key
• New function llVerifyRSA(): validate whether an RSA signature for a message is valid, given the public key
• New parameters for llGetEnv(): "grid" and "region_rating"
• Dozens of new parameters for llGetSimStats()

Early Access

Since there's been a bit of churn with LSL-related bugs in the recent RC versions, we have already deployed version 2023-02-21.578370 to a handful of test regions, including Debug1 and Debug2.  Please feel free to try out the new features there.
