  1. Second Life Server and Events

    We've restarted Second Life Server and Events channels during their usual slot on 2023-03-07

    Second Life RC

    This week we put version 2023-02-21.578370 on all RCs on 2023-03-08, up from just one last week. If things continue to go well, it's likely to go to Second Life Server and Events channels next week. The channel already running version 2023-02-21.578370 was restarted.

  2. Second Life Server

    The SLS channel will be updated to last week's RC release. As the release notes say, this version of the Second Life simulator contains a mixture of stability improvements, bug fixes, and enhancements to LSL's ability to play sounds

    https://releasenotes.secondlife.com/simulator/2023-01-20.577734.html

    Scheduled Tuesday, January 31, between 06:30 - 11:30 PST.

    Second Life RC

    The RC channels will be rolled during their usual time slot on Wednesday, and will all receive version 2023-01-27.577942. This version adds additional LSL functions for generating RSA and HMAC hashes, and another for replacing a substring of a string, as well as augmenting some existing functions with new parameters.

    The release notes can be found here.

    Scheduled Wednesday, February 1, between 07:00 - 09:30 PST.

    Update:

    Due to a regression discovered during the rollback (BUG-233288), the RC roll has been halted, and regions on the new build are being returned to the SLS version of 2023-01-20.577734.  The rollback should be completed sometime before 13:00 PST.

  3. Second Life Server and Events

    The SLS + Events channels will be restarted on Tuesday, 2022-11-01 from 06:30 - 11:30 PDT. There will be no version change from the current version 2022-10-07.575585.

    Second Life RC

    We're deploying a new feature build (version 2022-10-27.576126) containing Linkset Data LSL functions on Wednesday, 2022-11-02 from 07:00-09:30 PDT.

    Important Note

    Like all scripts containing new LSL functions, scripts running LinksetData* calls will only run on regions running version 2022-10-27.576126 or newer. However unlike some other functions if you move an object containing Linkset Data (or teleport wearing an object containing Linkset Data) from a region that supports it to a region that does not, all Linkset Data stored with the object will be lost, even if you go back to a region that supports the feature. This limitation will no longer exist once all regions on the grid understand how to parse Linkset Data (ideally upon next week's promotion of 2022-10-27.576126 to Second Life Server and Events channels).

    Coming Soon*…

    Another maintenance release is likely our next candidate for promotion, although it may be a couple of weeks before it’s ready

    * As always, Coming Soon represents our best guess at what will be moved from Aditi to RC in the coming weeks. We may need to delay, reshuffle, or remove upcoming releases for operational reasons.

  4. Disclaimer: I don't know why, and it's not a cureall for this issue let alone other issues,  but sometimes when you get the degraded performance message, it's related to one of the landmarks in your favorites no longer existing. If you clear out your favorite landmarks it may resolve the issue.

     

    (And yes, this is definitely on the Long List Of Things To Fix, but that's not the same as "don't file bug reports/support tickets/forum threads about it", we use all of that information to figure out what current pain points are.)

  5. Second Life Server and Events

    We will be deploying version 2022-10-07.575585 to the SLS + Events channels on Tuesday, 2022-10-18 from 06:30 - 11:30 PDT.

    Second Life RC

    With all the focus on revisions of release now making its way to the Second Life Server channel, we haven't had a chance to polish any new releases for RC this week. We will be restarting all RCs on Wednesday, 2022-10-19 as usual however. As you might expect, there will be no version change from the current version 2022-10-07.575585.

    Coming Soon*…

    We have a new feature build on Aditi for a new feature called Linkset Data. This feature works similarly to Experience Key-Value store, but the data lives with the object that sends and receives the data. Only scripts in the same linkset will be able to read the data written with this feature. For more details, see the in-progress wiki pages https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LSL_Linkset_Data. You can try out the new LSL functions related to this feature at the following Aditi Mainland regions:

    • Blake Sea - Arabian
    • Blake Sea - Atlantic
    • Blake Sea - Beagle
    • Blake Sea - Binnacle
    • Blake Sea - Black
    • Gothlauth
    • Jigglypuff
    • Mauve
    • Moonberry
    • Sapas
    • Smithereens

    We're looking for feedback on this new feature including bugs and input on anything that might be missing or not work the way you'd expect. Please file a BUG Jira in all of those cases

    * As always, Coming Soon represents our best guess at what will be moved from Aditi to RC in the coming weeks. We may need to delay, reshuffle, or remove upcoming releases for operational reasons.

    Second Life RC

    The current maintenance release is headed to the RC channels (again)! We'll be deploying version 2022-10-07.575585 to the Release Candidate channels on Wednesday, 2022-10-12, from 07:00 - 09:30 PDT.

    Coming Soon*…

    We have a new feature build on Aditi for a feature tentatively called Local KVP. This feature works similarly to Experience Key-Value store, but the data lives with the object that sends and receives the data. Only scripts in the same linkset will be able to read the data written with this feature. For more details, see the in-progress wiki pages [COMING SOON].

    Additional Notes:

    If this week looks a lot like the last two weeks, that's because we're doing the exact same thing again, but with the crash fix that caused more problems that it solved (still) removed plus a fix for an issue with our logging subsystem that could have caused issues at grid-scale. Release notes will be available Soon™.

    Coming Soon*…

    We anticipate that it will be a few weeks before we put out another maintenance release, and in the mean time we're also working on the server side of the Materials project to make a better looking Second Life.

  9. Apologies, I would have sworn I posted the deploy plan for this week on Friday! At any rate, we're deploying version 575315 as I write this, which includes several crash fixes, the feature enhancements listed above by Qie, and fixes to technical profiling tools we use to figure out what's taking up the most time in a simulator's lifespan. Release notes to that effect will be available as soon as they're done broiling.

    Logged in early today...no water ripples. Went to Debug1, stared at water, went back to our sailing area and saw ripples. Was it magic? I don't care, it worked. Logged off.Checked here in Forum and found post about the LL work. Now, back online at 9:30am slt and I have ripples. Is it fixed? Or am I seeing them because I went to Debug1?   

    Caches are basically magic so... Yes.

    We're working on an upcoming maintenance release which aims to among other things handle some cases where the simulator and a group chat server disagree whether an agent is in a group chat or not.

  16. Second Life Server

    As we restarted Second Life Server last Friday as part of our deploy of version 573149 we will not be starting Second Life Server this week.

    Second Life RCs

    We'll be restarting all RCs on 2022-07-13. Some RCs either have or will be upgraded to version 573176, an updated version of the aforementioned release that helps future deploys work better.

    • Thanks 3
  17. Hey all, release notes are now available at https://releasenotes.secondlife.com/simulator/2022-07-06.573149.html
    As previously mentioned we updated another part of the system that through a ripple effect caused the simulators to sometimes crash. We rolled the affected component back on Tuesday evening, scrubbed all the corrupted data we could find by Wednesday morning (this reduced our mid-incident crash rate by about 2/3s) and have spent the rest of the week figuring out how to clean everything up satisfactorily. Ultimately we came to the conclusion that the simulator update we had planned for next week was the fastest and most comprehensive way to stop crashes that were still happening, so we rolled that out yesterday and today.
