If this is not done, all subsequent calls for the same data see that a request is apparantly already in progress and so wait for the result indefinitely.
- It establishes 4 digits for opensim versions
- It uses the same number between opensim releases and mono addins versions
It also eliminates the last addin.xml files that were still there, for consistency.
This cleans up Opensim's use of mono addins. In particular, the extension points /OpenSim/RegionModules and /OpenSim/WindModule moved from OpenSim.exe to OpenSim.Region.Framework.dll. From here on, developers of region modules should declare their dlls to be dependent on OpenSim.Region.Framework, starting with version 0.8.1
Additional changes:
- Addins version uniformly updated to 0.8.1. These numbers should be compatible with the release numbers or else it becomes very confusing.
- Mono addins directives moved from files addins.xml to embedded directives in the class and assembly declarations, to make it all consistent
This is to achieve a clean separation of concerns - the watchdog is an inappropriate place for work management.
Also adds a WorkManager.RunInThreadPool() class which feeds through to Util.FireAndForget.
Also switches around the name and obj arguments to the new RunInThread() and RunJob() methods so that the callback obj comes after the callback as seen in the SDK and elsewhere
The functionality is the same but this allow us to monitor such tasks via "show threads" and abort them for test purposes, etc.
Also extends thread names to provide more info (e.g. SendInitialDataToClient says what client the task is for).
On non-HG this is on the only recognized failure state so we can return more information in the error result.
On HG there are multiple failure states which would require more work to distinguish, so currently return the unsatisfying "Internal Error" like some other existing calls.
When sending an ImprovedInstantMessage to a group, the IM's binary bucket is supposed to contain the group's name (this is what SL does). Singularity uses this to show the group name when it shows the message at the bottom of the viewer for a few seconds: "[Group Name] From User: Message". Before this update, the group name was empty ("[]").
This update doesn't have any visible effect in Firestorm, because it doesn't use the group name sent in the IM.
This is to allow us to get useful information on messaging without being overwhelmed by the rest of groups debug.
Enabled with [Groups] DebugMessagingEnabled = true in config (default false)
Or "debug groups messaging verbose true|false on the console" (similar to existing groups setting).
Done for both xmlrpc and V2 groups.
This is because xmlrpcgroups currently always checks visibility for the requesting agent ID (unlike Groups v2, which can accept UUID.Zero)
But group notice IMs have a from agent which is the group rather than the sending agent.

I think there is an argument for sending this information to NPCs anyway since in some cases it appears a lot easier to write server-side bots by hooking into such internal events.
However, would need to stop event messages building up on NPC queues if they are never retrieved.
