This reverts commit b0b7b45b94.
Sorry BlueWall, I wanted to discuss an aspect of the data storage but I couldn't assign bugs in 'patch included' state to myself until I changed mantis just now and I forgot to mention it on irc.
I wouldn't normally revert but thinks get tricky when it comes to data formats.
Essentially, I would like to see the Yaw, Pitch and Distance values as separate XML entities (as used in other aspects such as vectors, quaternions) rather than as a . delimited string
We can discuss this more with Oren in opensimulator.org/mantis/view.php?id=6008
This does increase the aggressiveness of shutdown
Also prevents the bot list being locked for a long period, which was preventing commands such as "show bots" from working during shutdown
Still subject to change - if you use this be prepared to change your output code if/when the methods change.
Make new "attachments show" command use this.
completely rewritten every time a region starts up. This
makes the data write only when the data was not already
read from the database.
There is a still a major race condition whenever two regions
share the same estate data, but at least it won't be triggered
on startup.
This is usually because the file name was singular (*Service*) but the class name was plural (*Services*).
This is to make configuration easier rather than having to look in the c# code itself to find the slightly different name of the connector.
This does not affect existing configuration since the files are being renamed rather than the classes.
If AvatarService appearance data is retrieved over the network, then ServerUtils was attempting to transfer names such as "Wearable 0:0" directly to xml element names, resulting in an exception.
Space is not valid in xml element names. Neither is : in this case since the intention is not to namespace. Using names directly as keys is not a good idea.
To get around this problem this patch escapes and unescapes the element names as appropriate.
This has no impact on existing xml (since it had to be valid in the first place) but allows AvatarService data to be used over the network.
Setting appearance (from simulator to AvatarService) did not suffer this problem since the values are passed in the query string which is already properly escaped.
DuplicateObject() relies on source object having correct link numbers for the duration of the dupe.
Both link and delink can change link numbers such that they are not consistent for short periods of time.
