This week is Thanksgiving in the US and the LL offices are closed Thursday and Friday. Because of this the entire week is in a No Change WIndow (NCW). There will be no server code updates this week.

To help with stability we have planned a rolling restart for Wednesday morning as noted here:

- http://status.secondlifegrid.net/2011/11/18/post1479/

This is just a rolling restart.

All of the channels outlined below have EXACT same code as last week. There have been no code updates made.

Second Life Server (main channel)

This is the updated Havok project. This keeps us inline with the latest updates from them. There are no features or bug fixes and there should be no impact to vehicles or physics. This has been in RC for a few weeks now with no major issues.

There is a new LSL call "llSetKeyframedMotion". Have fun with that.

Bug Fixes
- SVC-7424 Error rezzing certain mesh objects: "Unable to rez object because its mesh data is invalid."
- Fix for root-prim meshes from an 'old server' not permitted to enter a 'new server'

Upgraded physics engine to Havok 2011.2. This brings in the latest work from Havok. We do not expect any noticeable change from this upgrade, but please let us know via jira if you see any new physics related issues.
Implemented llSetKeyframedMotion (http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LlSetKeyframedMotion)

Second Life RC BlueSteel

This contains the same project with the enhanced threaded region crossing code. You may or may not see region crossing enhancements. This code is a prototype of an infrastructure we may build on in the future. There shouldn't be a noticeable increase in region crossing failures.

Second Life RC LeTigre

This is the same "Maint-server" project as the last two week.

Bug Fixes
- SVC-5927 Temp on Rezzed objects get queued
- SVC-7360 Driving a vehicle over into a full region gives strange error message: You can't enter this region because the sebehavior is full
- SVC-7379 For group notices groupID is being sent in the AgentID field
- SVC-7343 llMinEventDelay Bug
- SVC-7354 Simulator fails to load notecard asset (Intan won't read config card)

New Bug Fixes
- SCR-234 Loops throttled by a short sleep run twice per frame on Letigre
- SVC-7397 impossible to enter the sim of blossom at elven forest realm. Nobody can enter the sim. message is "failed to grant capabilities"

Second Life RC Magnum

This project updates the mutelist to be part of the People API instead of simulator side. We changed simulator behavior to send create/delete events in the mute-list to the People API. Social features on my.secondlife.com including web profiles will fully respect the mutelist i.e. no one should see messages etc from someone they have blocked.

This feature is disabled until full release to all channels.

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!
