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, by default, enables terrain patches being sent to each avatar
from the avatar away (rather than the old outside-in pattern), only
sending terrain patches within the avatars view distance (making
view loading quicker), and sending multiple terrain patches per
protocol packet (making terrain loading and editing quicker).
when registering a new region.
Adds parameter "[GridService]SuppressVarRegionOverlapCheckOnRegistration=false"
that can be turned on to suppress the error check if a simulator's database
has old regions that overlap.
co-op should be more stable as it doesn't abort threads, which can trigger virtual machine instability
This change will be invisible to users as script DLLs are recompiled automatically where necessary, though the change won't take affect until the next simulator restart.
This change has no effect on existing script state.
If you want to continue using abort, set ScriptStopStrategy = abort in the [XEngine] section of OpenSim.ini
As per http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.random%28v=vs.100%29.aspx, the .NET Random class is not thread-safe.
If called by multiple threads at once, methods may return 0.
Except for llRand(), other OpenSimulator code did not lock before calling a shared Random instance.
This commit adds a ThreadSafeRandom class that extends Random but does internal locking so that it is thread-safe.
This change is invisible to existing callers and the explicit locking in the llFrand() implementation is now redundant.
We have to do this since we can't unload existing DLLs if they're all in the same AppDomain.
But we can still update the underlying DLL which will be used in the next simulator session.
Code was identical apart from error logging, but if there are failures creating these directories then you'll be
seeing lots of errors anyway, and these will be more informative
In commit e6080a38 (Wed Mar 19 00:29:36 2014) I renamed this from "debug stats record start|stop"
Unfortunately, I didn't do this fully so before this commit "stats record start|stop" will report a usage failure with the old debug text.
Unfortunately this is in the 0.8 release. The workaround is to repeat the last command twice (e.g. "stats record start start")
This will show an approximate grid size that doesn't count regions that are hyperlinks
Not particularly trustworthy since it will still count regions that are not active but were not deregistered (deliberately or due to simulator crash or similar)
"show regions" drops the owner id column but is till present in "show region"
"show regions" name column expanded to allow for longer hg regions (probably still too short, may eventually have to truncate rather than taking up huge screen space)
I think it's still useful to know this to show up any errors early, but it's reasonable to still carry on rather than throw an exception.
