This patch adds oar file date and time (UTC) meta data to an oar file
when it is created. It also adds a unique ID, though this id does not
in anyway identify the machine that the oar file was created on.
When an oar file with this meta data is loaded this extra information
is saved with the region settings and available via LSL through:
- osLoadedCreationDate()
- osLoadedCreationTime()
- osLoadedCreationID()
If there is no meta data these fields will be blank. Subsequent oar
file loads will erase the information for the previous oar file
load. Persistence has only been implemented for MySQL, the other
backends need updating.
Overall this allows us to much more easily identify the specific version of
software that clients are using. Its very straightforward to edit the oar file
to change the ID string to be something more human friendly.
Included in the patch is a new file OpenSim/Data/MySQL/Resources/030_RegionStore.sql
required for the MySQL DB migration.
btw I had a chat with justincc about this a few weeks ago since he
wrote the oar file import/export and he sounded happy to accept
something that included date/time information but didn't want anything
that would silently leak private information like machine names.
- fixes wild swings in memory usage related to usage of GetDrawStringSize()
We've been seeing wild swings in memory usage and a large chunk of
memory leak. From analysing this it's pretty clear that the mono
garbage collector is rather buggy! When exercised heavily it looks
like it frees more than its meant to resulting in crashes.
GetDrawStringSize() measures the size in pixels of text. To do this
memory for an image is allocated and used to call the GDI text
measure functions. Although no reference to the temporary memory
for the measuring is kept, it takes quite a while for the mono
garbage collector to clean up - so if lots calls to
GetDrawStringSize() are made at once there can be a spike in memory
usage. If the garbage collector is not fast enough then the GDI
layer runs out of memory. It also looks like the garbage collector
is not always reclaiming all of the memory.
I've attached an OpenSim patch which works around the garbage collector
issues. Instead of dynamically allocating memory for measuring
text sizes, it serialises (on a per region basis) access to a single
block of memory. The effect of this is to be nicer to the garbage
collector as it has a lot less work to do, at the cost of some
theoretical loss in performance (nothing noticeable with our tests
which hit it pretty hard).
OpenSim still does leak memory slowly, but it is a lot more stable
with this patch. I suspect that either the garbage collector misses
bits of freed memory or the GDI/cairo layer leaks a bit each time a
texture is created. Thats going to be a lot harder to hunt down, but
for reference if someone has OpenSim running on Windows it would be
interesting to see if it has the same problem as it would tell us if
its a mono/GDI problem or an OpenSim problem.
Modify dynamic texture handling so that an explicitly targetted
face is not scheduled for immediate expiration. The requirement
for precaching explicitly requires these assets to persist. They
do however remain temporary.
This approach leaves the legacy mode of operation (ALL_SIDES)
unchanged in this respect.
See the files: bin/config-include/GridCommon.ini.example and bin/config-include/StandaloneCommon.ini.example to configure and enable this caching method.
See the files: bin/config-include/GridCommon.ini.example and bin/config-include/StandaloneCommon.ini.example to configure and enable this caching method.
This appears to be due to the fact that no asset cache has been
configured, possibly as a result of the configuration changes that
have been made recently. I've attached a patch to display a message
to that effect rather than throwing an error.
Added in some key code to read properties from MSSQL for user profiles
which fixes issues of users having trouble editing estate settings on a
grid where estate managers are not god, and fixes the option of enabling
grid god functionality on MSSQL grids.
I have applied this to trunk only. I need someone else to examine and apply
to 0.6.5-Post-Fixes, or give me some direction, please.
The IRCStackModule used Nini.Config.ConfigCollection.Contains() to
determine whether the "IRCd" section was present in the config. This
ConfigCollection, however, stores an ArrayList of IConfig objects, not
strings, so calling Contains("IRCd") always returns false since "IRCd"
is a string, not an IConfig object.
The code also sets the target avatar as wearing whatever the template avatar was wearing (including attachments). The idea is to allow the use of this to give new avatars a more interesting avatar (and inventory set) than the current default.
I have include a console command that will clone the inventory from one existing user (template avatar) to another existing avatar (target avatar). The format of the command is : "clone avatar <templateAvatarFirstName> <templateAvatarLastName> <targetAvatarFirstName> <targetAvatarLastName>" (to use this console command on new accounts, the "create user" command will need to be used first)
While the code was designed for hooking up to a remote call from a web interface, I have left the hookup code out of this commit, as I believe most use cases will want to handle it differently.
Also added a "trusted handler" to the inventory server to allow the user server to create new folders in a user's inventory.
All this is in the old UGAIM servers so will need porting to the new servers.
* This includes methods such as PlaySound which take a Position as an argument, allowing you to trigger sounds arbitrarily across the scene without needing a parent object in the position.
