[Deploys for the week of 05.29.23 (unofficial advisory)]

For now[1], the current deploy strategy for a particular version seems to be:

1. Deploy to BlueSteel only as it's the smallest (in number of regions) of the 3 main RC channels
   1. Obviously if there is a problem, fewer regions are affected by having to do a rollback
2. If all goes well, the following week deploy to the other RC channels
3. if 2) goes well, the following week deploy to Main SLS channel

[1] I suspect the deploy strategy for PBR when it arrives will be different

[No More Weekly Release Plan Threads, More Blog Posts]

My guess is that the non-BlueSteel channels will get a restart. BlueSteel will get a restart if they haven't got ready to deploy a fix to last week's RC server, otherwise BlueSteel will get the "fixed" server.

There are other scenarios, but based on recent deploys I think the above is most likely -- though I have been wrong in the past.

We'll find out Soon™

[Deploys for the week of 05.22.23 (unofficial advisory)]

My BlueSteel parcel has been reverted to 579955 following today's (May 26) limited RC restart. Guess there was a problem with 580235.

[No Published Deploy Plan for the week of 17/04/2023]

My mainland parcel is on Bluesteel, which enabled me to update my post. Plus there are the Premium sandboxes for the main RC channels (e.g. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/BlueSteel Sandbox A/128/128/23 for Bluesteel)

[No Published Deploy Plan for the week of 17/04/2023]

There was nothing new rolled to the RCs last week, hence Main Channel just getting a restart yesterday.

For today's (26th April) roll. only Bluesteel RC will be getting a new version; the other RCs will just get restarts. From Inara Pey's week 17 SUG meeting summary

[No Published Deploy Plan for the week of 17/04/2023]

Indeed 579248 has gone onto main channel.

[Deploy plan for the Week of 2023-04-03]

What makes you think 579248 doesn't include the 579022 changes?

In lieu of the missing deploy plan, RCs got 2023-03-24.579022 which seems to fix some LSL bugs in previous RC version

From Inara Pey's blog: 

Quote

• On Wednesday March 29th, all simhosts on the RC channels will be updated to run the same simulator release, comprising the new LSL Functions llList2ListSlice, llSortListStrided, and llListFindListStrided (per BUG-231545). It also has a fix for DATA_SIM_STATUS from llRequestSimulatorData(), and doubles the amount of memory available for Linkset Data (LSD) to 128k.

But I am curious; Maestro suggests all RC regions will be on 577734; so were the small subset running 578100 since last Wednesday rolled back onto '734?

Those on 578100 got rolled back to 577734 last Wednesday due to a bug (see the previous deploy plan posts).

[Any update on when we can expect Premium Plus Linden Homes?]

Just to add to what LittleMe has said, the theme for the 2048 parcels has already been stated as "Ranch homes". Having googled images of those (had  no clue what that style is), they seem to be wide houses -- which kind of makes sense for a 2048 parcel, since you can't make a square parcel with 2048. The only real workable rectangular parcel size for 2048 is 64x32. Of course they could go for an "L" shaped parcel, or some other non-rectangular shape, but then they'd have to either tessellate the parcels close together or provide landscaping to stop people encroaching onto protected land to "square off" their parcel. I personally don't think packing close together or an "odd" shaped parcel would be a popular proposition, hence in my view the likeliest offering is going to be 64x32 with a wide house.

[FR: Add OAuth2 Support]

You're better off filing a new feature request Jira at https://jira,secondlife.com/ and then updating us with a link to it

[Multiple avatars/bots on abandoned land]

I've seen these type of bot-clusters on a number of long-abandoned lands. There's nothing you can really do about them -- mainland has no covenant and camping on abandoned land is not against ToS (hence ARs will get ignored). Really all support can do is restart the region, again because the accounts are not violating ToS.

Other than playing the bots at their own game or buying up abandoned land, moving is really your only option.

[Anyone else seeing accepted folders very occasionally never appear in inventory?]

I've seen some things show up after a relog, but just recently they haven't - I just have the single copy from the re-click. Don't know if it's related to auto-accept (is that done viewer side, or server side?). They are so infrequent that it's hard to pinpoint any possible reason. 

[Anyone else seeing accepted folders very occasionally never appear in inventory?]

For at least the past couple of months I've had a (very) few occasions where objects (either rezzed or attached) give a folder of items on click (viewer outputs a message saying object foo gave you folder blah) but the folder is nowhere to be found. Clicking again does give the folder. This is with auto-accept enabled, so is NOT a case of accidentally declining nor is it a case of "missed" click (otherwise viewer wouldn't say the object gave you a folder).

Not seen any obvious reason why it should occur, due to infrequency, and fortunately has not occurred with no-copy items. I'm using Firestorm 6.6.3.67470, so would be interesting to know if others are seeing this with other viewers or not

[Sound Issues on RC Channels since today's restart]

Rolling back to 2022-11-11.576542

ETA, rollback confirmed

[Deploy Plan for the Week of 2022-10-31]

Sounds definitely broken. TP'd into an RC region, and it was playing a sound over and over when it wasn't supposed to be playing.

And the (as usual missing) release notes are https://releasenotes.secondlife.com/simulator/2022-12-06.577088.html 

 

Edit: That didn't last long; RCs rolled back to 2022-11-11.576542

 

[Deploy Plan for the Week of 2022-10-31]

Not unexpected since there has been nothing new on the RCs for weeks.

As for Wednesday's RC roll, this info is from Inara Pey's blog post of the SUG #50 meeting

Quote

On Wednesday, December 14th, the simhosts on the RC channels should be updated with a new simulator release, marking it as the last planned simulator deployment for 2022.
This update:

• Includes the new llLinkPlaysound, llLinkStopSound llLinkAdjustSoundVolume and llLinkSoundRange functions which allow sounds in child prims of a linkset to be played without the need for a supporting script.
• Fixes the simulator to allow uploads of sound clips up to about 30 seconds.
  • This had been pitched as a Premium benefit, but according the meeting will be available to all users.
  • You will only be able to upload / playback sounds longer than 9 seconds on the RC channels until this simulator update is deployed grid-wide in 2023.
• A fix for BUG-229301 “Maximum Memory allowable by scripts not being reset until teleport or relog”.

[Wot? No ReStarts this week?]

No new version on the RCs at time of posting this; so not unexpectedly just restarts

[SL inworld Search engine not nearly as good as before?]

try putting quotes around phrases or replacing spaces with +, that sometimes gives different results. E.g. instead of find three words try "find three words" or find+three+words . You'll still get the single matches, but the phrase should be prioritised (assuming search finds it).

FETA: The release notes to 2022-11-11.576542, last week's RC channel code, are at long last available and it would seem that there has been effort put it to improve the dreadful voice issues...maybe it is coming to a Main Server region near you today.  It would've been nice to have "official" confirmation.

Not official confirmation, but Main Channel has indeed got 576542.

Given the thanksgiving holiday coming up, can probably assume nothing new for RCs this week.

[What is coming to the RC's this week?]

as usual, the 2022-11-11.576542 release notes are MIA as well. It's a shame they didn't do another build so that it was 576543 that was the RC...

["Unable to create new object. The region is full". But it isn't.]

You can get that can't create error when the region starts running low on Physics memory. There was (maybe still is) a bug where terraforming would use up the Physics memory and restarting the region was only fix.

[Deploy Plan for the Week of 2022-10-31]

And the answer is... Main Channel has got 576376  so Inkset Data will be grid-wide once the restarts have completed
