Server Deployments – week 22
The server channel deployments are delayed 24 hours this week due to Monday May 27th being Memorial Day in the USA. As usual, the latest updates, feedback and comments can be found on the deployment discussion thread. Anyone encountering a specific bug is asked to file a JIRA.
Second Life Server (Main) Channel
On Wednesday 29th May, the Main channel should receive the server maintenance project previously on Magnum. This includes bug fixes, comprising two for crash modes and one for BUG-2424 (Overriding “Sitting on Ground” animation while sitting on the ground makes “stand up” button disappear). This deployment also includes the LSL support to create and parse JSON-formatted strings, which also includes the bug fixes for this capability deployed to Magnum in week 21 (see my SL projects update report from week 21). Release notes.
Release Candidate Channels
On Thursday 30th May, the three Release Candidate (RC) channels should receive the interest list improvement project deployed to LeTigre in week 21. The core change in this update should reduce scene loading time when entering a new region (again, please refer to my week 21 report for background information). Release notes (BlueSteel, but applicable to all three RCs).
SL Viewer
The SL release viewer updated to 3.5.3.276452 on May 28th (release notes), leapfrogging it ahead of the last of the beta channel viewers. This release may include updates which may lessen the issue of “missing prims” which people have been encountering over the last couple of months.
The anticipated move of the Materials Processing project viewer to a beta release status in week 21 did not happen. The current project status is unclear, but hopefully the move to beta should occur sooner rather than later.
Other Projects
As a result of the long weekend in the USA (Memorial Day) it is currently a light week for news on the projects LL are working on for SL. Expect this to be rectified as the week progresses!
