This reduces base memory churn of every client connection, improving the garbage collection situation.
The effect is a significant portion of base load (an avatar standing still on a completely blank island)
but will probably still be swallowed up by other memory use on active regions.
Tests have shown no noticeable impact on speed of processing incoming packets, though setting remains
in case a switch back is needed.
Setting this to false will block all restart requests from the viewer even if they are otherwise legitimate.
One use is to block region restarts if necessary whilst restart functionality remains buggy or triggers bugs in modules,
though these should be fixed as soon as practicable.
Default is true, as has been the case historically.
This is because macosx mono is 32-bit and this can't p/invoke 64-bit binaries.
However, the reverse is also true.
If OpenSimulator stops working for you then please complain! Long term alternative is probably to build a fat binary with both architectures.
Even when an avatar is standing still, it's sending in a constant stream of AgentUpdate packets that the client creates new UDPPacketBuffer objects to handle.
This option pools those objects. This reduces memory churn.
Currently off by default. Works but the scope can be expanded.
nant_0.91~alpha2+dfsg-3_all.deb in Ubuntu 12.04 and earlier actually ignored these due to a bug
However, nant 0.92~rc1+dfsg-2 in Ubuntu 12.10 fixes this bug (possibly https://github.com/nant/nant/pull/39).
Which makes nant time-consumingly copy these files when the aren't actually used.
Tested removal of <copy> on both nant 0.91 and nant 0.92
Will be submitting this patch to prebuild project for comment though I suspect there's nobody there to pay attention.
This allows a closed grid to delete asset types other than maptile remotely.
Only operational if AllowRemoteDelete = true also.
Defaults to false - do not enable if anybody other than you can make asset service requests.
This controls how many undo steps the simulator will store for each prim.
Default is now 20 rather than 5 as it briefly was.
The default number could be increased through this is a memory tradeoff which will scale with the number of prims in the sim and level of activity.

This resends appearance uuids to avatars in the scene once a minute.
I have seen this help in the past resolve grey appearance problems where viewers have for unknown reasons sometimes ignored the packet.
The overhead is very small since only the UUIDs are sent - the viewer then requests the texture only if it does not have it cached.
This setting will not help with cloudy avatars which are usually due to the viewer not uploading baked texture data or uploading something that isn't valid JPEG2000
This is to resolve a problem where an asset marked as local but not temporary but still used in the scene would be removed.
The timed expiry scan no longer tries to refetch assets from the scene that are not currently in the cache - this is not helpful since it just drags a lot of data into the cache that may never be referenced.
This removes the DeepScanBeforePurge option since setting this to false will introduce the above problem. This previously had a default of true.

This is because libopenjpeg 1.5 appears to require a minimum of glibc 2.14, whereas at least one fairly recent distro (openSUSE 11.4 from 2011-03-10) only has glibc
Further investigation pending.
Among other things this allows pCampbot to work under Windows since libopenmateverse now ships the same log4net.dll (publicly signed) as OpenSimulator
This also updates the libopenmetaverse embedded libopenjpeg from 1.3 to 1.5.
DLL naming and mapping for non-Windows libopenjpeg changes to remove version number to make future udpates easier and bring it into line with names of other shipped DLLs.
libopenjpeg updates have been made for OSX, Windows (32 and 64 bit) and Linux (32 and 64 bit). Please report any issues.

Viewer LL 3.3.4 and before sometimes fail to properly redisplay dynamic textures that have a small data length compared to pixel size when pulled from cache.
This appears to happen when the data length is smaller than the estimate discard level 2 size the viewer uses when making this GetTexture request.
This commit works around this by always regenerating dynamic textures that fall below this threshold rather than reusing them if ReuseDynamicTextures = true
This can be controlled by the [Textures] ReuseDynamicLowDataTextures config setting which defaults to false.
If true, this setting reuses dynamically generated textures (i.e. created through osSetDynamicTextureData() and similar OSSL functions) where possible rather than always regenerating them.
This results in much quicker updates viewer-side but may bloat the asset cache (though this is fixable).
Also, sometimes issue have been seen where dynamic textures do not transfer to the viewer properly (permanently blurry).
If this happens and that flag is set then they are not regenerated, the viewer has to clear cache or wait for 24 hours before all cached uuids are invalidated.
CUrrently experimental. Default is false, as before.
This is necessary because commit 8131a24 (Tue Mar 27 10:08:13 2012) started passing the config section name rather than hardcoding "AssetService"
This meant that the HG external-facing asset service tried to read ConnectionString from [HGAssetService] rather than [AssetService].
On SQLite, not finding this meant that it fell back to [DatabaseService], which is set for OpenSim.db rather than Asset.db.
Therefore, all external asset requests returned null.
Solution taken here is to create an [HGAssetService] section with the same ConnectionString as [AssetService].
This bug does not affect normal MySQL/MSSQL config since they use the [DatabaseService] connection string anyway.
Addresses http://opensimulator.org/mantis/view.php?id=6200, many thanks to DanBanner for identifying the exact problem commit which was very helpful.
This was a regression from OpenSimulator 0.7.3.1 which did not contain this bug.
Add description and default of false (as before) to OpenSimDefaults.ini
If set to true, this config switch will resend avatar appearance information (a small amount of UUID data, not the baked textures themselves) to other avatars in the sim every 60 seconds.
For me, this has helped with situations where avatars appear persistently grey - the LL viewer sometimes did not appear to request assets the first time the appearance data was sent.
However, this switch will not help with other appearance failure situations (e.g. failure to bake assets).
This setting is experimental but will not have any significant impact on the simulator if turned to true.
This is to try and resolve a strange Initialization exception for the AppearanceManager type that only occurs on Windows 64 bit (not Windows 32 bit or Linux!)

This update incorporates a fix by Melanie in libomv where textures would sometimes rotate slightly when other properties were changed.
Hence addresses http://opensimulator.org/mantis/view.php?id=6100
This update also incorporates libomv bot code updates that significantly reduce the warning spam for pCampbot.
The change rate of libomv is low and many changes refer to bot or code not used by OpenSimulator, so I think it is sufficiently stable to use evne though it's not a release.
and into its own class. The BulletSim data structures track
individual prims as linksets of 1 so most of the prim code is not
different between a linked and unlinked object.
Only files ending in .ini and .xml are actually loaded.
Also improves the help at the top of Regions.ini.example to mention that OpenSimulator would generate Regions.ini anyway on first startup.
Also changes separator from comma to bar to match existing [LoginService] config features.
Divergence of config names for identical facilities in different places makes for an unnecessarily confusing user experience.
This is to provide an indication of what's happening now that the default isn't to report every single script start.
Changes XEngine logging level in OpenSim.exe.config from WARN to INFO.
