Deploys for the week of 2011-08-15

[Maestro Linden 5]

Oskar's on vacation, so I'm filling in for this week's release notes.

Second Life Server (main channel)

• New Features
  • Allow scripters to set a lower memory limit on mono scripts

    integer llSetMemoryLimit(integer limit) Set the maximum memory a script can use to limit.

    integer llGetMemoryLimit() Get the maximum memory a script can use.

  • Allow scripters to get the script time of an object

    Added a new flag to llGetObjectDetails, OBJECT_SCRIPT_TIME, which reports the average script CPU time (in seconds) an object/avatar is using. This function returns the same time that you would see in 'Top Scripts'.

  • Ability to set prim media on linked prims without sleeping the script.

    integer llSetLinkMedia(integer link, integer side, list params) Equivalent to llSetPrimMediaParams called on link prim in the link set.

    list llGetLinkMedia(integer link, integer side, list params) Equivalent to llGetPrimMediaParams called on link prim in the link set.

    integer llClearLinkMedia(integer link, integer side) Equivalent to llClearPrimMedia called on link prim in the link set.

  • llSetLinkCamera

    llSetLinkCamera(integer link, vector eye, vector at) Equivalent to calling both llSetCameraEyeOffset and llSetCameraAtOffset on link prim in the link set.

  • Allow HTML in llHTTPResponsesto browsers embedded in viewers for content you own

    llSetContentType(key request_id, integer content_type)

    • CONTENT_TYPE_TEXT (default) "text/plain"
    • CONTENT_TYPE_HTML "text/html", only valid for embedded browsers on content owned by the person viewing. Falls back to "text/plain" otherwise.

  • Extend llGetLocalPos function to llGet*PrimitiveParams under PRIM_POS_LOCAL

    PRIM_POS_LOCAL Sets and gets the 'local' position via llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast and related.

  • llLinkSitTarget, llAvatarOnLinkSitTarget

    llLinkSitTarget(integer link, vector offset, rotation rot) Equivalent to calling llSitTarget on link prim in the link set.

    key llAvatarOnLinkSitTarget() Equivalent to calling llAvatarOnSitTarget on link prim in the link set.

  • Add llSetVelocity() and llSetAngularVelocity() functions to LSL

    llSetVelocity(vector force, integer local)

    llSetAngularVelocity(vector force, integer local)

  • Add ability for llSetLinkPrimitiveParams* and llGetLinkPrimitiveParamsfunctions to switch link targets

    [PRIM_LINK_TARGET, integer link_num] Will cause subsequent parameters to effect link_num prim independent of original prim being effected. Compatible with all PrimParams functions.

• Bug Fixes
  • Fix for SVC-7060^[c] "Reliable message RevokePermissions does not revoke permissions on objects that have been granted PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION"
  • Fix for llDialog spamming that cripples the viewer.
  • Fix to make shift copying copy all prim properties.
  • Fix to prevent LSL scripts from using non-finite numbers in physical functions.
  • Fix for SVC-7174^[c]: "llTargetOmega() is not working on Second Life RC BlueSteel 11.08.09.238148"
  • Fix for SVC-7175^[c]: "llResetOtherScript("New Script") sometimes does not reset the script "NewScript" until it receives another event"

Second Life RC BlueSteel

This is a "server hotfix" project.

• Bug Fixes
  • Fixed a crashing bug.
  • Other security fix.

Second Life RC LeTigre

LeTigre is returning to the "Mesh" project this week. LeTigre and Magnum will be running the same server version.

• Mesh objects can be uploaded
• Child prims can be set to have no collision shape (do not contribute to collision of object)
• Objects that use the features above (mesh shapes or non-colliding parts) will have prim cost calculated based on actual impact to the parcel/region rather than simple count.
• Max prim scale has been raised to 64m on a side
• New physics engine
  • Overhaul how collision shapes are constructed and stored in memory.
  • 10 cm gap between colliding objects has been removed for most objects:
    • For convex prims (dynamic and static)
    • Concave prims (static only)
    • For small prims ( <~0.2m on a side ) it can't be completely removed so those objects may still exhibit a gap, but it will typically be smaller than it was before the change.
• Parcel-full return sort order has changed: most recently "changed" get returned first, but still grouped by OTHER, GROUP, and OWNER in that order.

Second Life RC Magnum

Once again, Magnum is on the "Mesh" project this week. There are no changes related to mesh this week; the update just adds the changes listed for the main channel.

See the 'Second Life RC LeTigre' section above to see a general list of changes in Mesh; Magnum and LeTigre will get the same server version.

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.

We appreciate your help!

p.s. If you are interested in helping test SecondLife in beta please join the group "Second Life Beta" in-world. 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 to attend. Information is here: https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Server_Beta_User_Group

 

Update! (2011-08-16 16:10 PDT) :

Due to last minute issues in mesh testing, both the LeTigre and Magnum RC channel updates for this week have been rescheduled for this Thursday (August 18), at 8:00AM and 9:00AM PDT, respectively.  We apologize for the late notice.

 

[Acheron Gloom 4]

Yay

[MB Robonaught 1]

OOOOOOOOOOOO new toys for us scripters! yay!

[Jack Abraham 1]

This is me, rejoicing much.

Now, about llCastRay...

[Cincia Singh 1]

Yawn :matte-motes-whistle:

PRIM_LINK_TARGET is the best thing since sliced bread. Just rewrote 1 script resizer to use it, and it increases perfomance 50-fold. Nicely done!

The main channel release notes say "llSetAngularVelocity()" was added, but then calls it "llSetRotationalVelocity()", so which is it?

[Maestro Linden 5]

Thanks for ponting that out, Flip.  The new function is "llSetAngularVelocity()" - I've changed the references in the release notes to match that.

[arton Rotaru 917]

Are llLinkSitTarget and llAvatarOnLinkSitTarget implemented on LeTigre and Magnum servers?

I can't get it to work on those, while PRIM_LINK_TARGET, for example, works on Magnum. (from the root prim)

[Ciaran Laval 25]

I am unable to untick "Allow Mesh Objects" in the region/estate window, I don't know if this is a viewer or server side problem.

Thanks Maestro!!
