In Brief

• BUG-139309 – “Allow setting of Hover Height via LSL” – originally closed as “unactionable”, this feature request is seen  as having potential benefits (e.g. automatically adjusting the height of Animesh attachments such as a pets, so they appear to be on the ground, rather than floating above it as a result of a change of footwear on the controlling avatar) It has been suggested that the idea be re-submitted as a new feature request with examples, with Simon Linden noting:

We like the idea of making those adjustments easy to work with and use, and also don’t want to limit it to height. X and Y tweaks would be nice too.

• World Map: A I was the first to report (see: Linden Lab: L$ buy fee change + 2FA/TPV and Map tile updates – UPDATED) and confirmed by April and Alex Linden, the world map is once again working. However, as noted by Simon Linden at the SUG meeting, the Lab is working to make the updates “more regular and frequent”.
