SL project updates 27/1: server, viewer, misc

Server Deployments Week 27

As always, please refer to the server deployment thread for the latest updates.

• There was no deployment to the Main (SLS) channel on Tuesday, July 4th, and it remains on simulator version #17.06.12.327066. However the bi-weekly restart did take place.
  
• On Wednesday, July 5th, the RC channels should be updated as follows:
  • BlueSteel and LeTigre will remain on simulator version #17.06.23.327344. This contains internal fixes, and an update to the week #25 deployment (#17.06.19.327206 )
  • Magnum should receive a server maintenance package (#17.06.29.327400) comprising the ongoing OS system update for the simulators.

DJ Boards Issue – Magnum RC

The original deployment of this OS update to Magnum resulted in breakages to scripts used by various streaming service DJ boards (as noted in BUG-10073 and also in the forums). An initial attempt to fix the issue was made in June, but wasn’t entirely successful. The Magnum deployment (#17.06.29.327400) above contains a revised fix for the problem.

SL Viewer

The Project Alex Ivy 64- bit viewer moved to release candidate status with the release of version 5.1.0.507006 on June 30th.

The 360-degree snapshot project viewer updated to version 5.1.0.506743 on June 29th. This version still does not correctly define images for 360-degree playback on Flickr (tag must be manually set). I have a hands-on look at the updated viewer: Second Life 360 degree snapshots hands on II.

The rest of the viewer pipeline is as follows:

• Current Release version 5.0.6.326593, released on May 26th, promoted June 20th – formerly the AssetHTTP RC viewer – overview
• Release channel cohort:
  • Maintenance RC viewer version 5.0.7.327250 dated June 22nd
  • Voice RC viewer, version 5.0.7.327253 dated June 23rd
• Obsolete platform viewer version 3.7.28.300847 dated May 8, 2015 – provided for users on Windows XP and OS X versions below 10.7.

User Group Meetings

• There is no Simulator User Group meeting on Tuesday, July 4th due to the US Independence Day holiday.
• The Content Creator User Group will be meeting on Thursday, July 6th, rather than being held over to allow for the Lab’s internal start-of-month meeting.
