* Changed Util.FireAndForget() to use any of five different methods set with async_call_method in the [Startup] section of OpenSim.ini. Look at the example config for possible values
* Change the OnQueueEmpty firing to use a minimum time until next fire instead of a sleep
* Set OutgoingPacket.TickCount = 0 earlier to avoid extra resends when things are running slowly (inside a profiler, for example)
* Removed the unused PacketSent() function
* Switched UnackedPacketCollection from a SortedDictionary to a Dictionary now that the sorting is no longer needed. Big performance improvement for ResendUnacked()
* Changed HandleQueueEmpty()'s Monitor.TryEnter() calls to locks. We want to take our time in this function and do all the work necessary, since returning too fast will induce a sleep anyways
* Clamp retransmission timeout values between three and 10 seconds
* Log outgoing time for a packet right after it is sent instead of well before
* Loop through the entire UnackedPacketCollection when looking for expired packets
* Changed the timer tracking numbers for each client to not have "memory". It will no longer queue up calls to functions like ResendUnacked
* Reverted Jim's WaitHandle code. Although it was technically more correct, it exhibited the exact same behavior as the old code but spent more cycles. The 20ms has been replaced with the minimum amount of time before a token bucket could receive a drip, and an else { sleep(0); } was added to make sure the outgoing packet handler always yields at least a minimum amount
* Added TokenBucket.cs to OpenSim, with some fixes for setting a more accurate MaxBurst value and getting a more accurate Content value (by Drip()ing each get)
a server port to use for modules in a generic way and also add support
for disabling modules that don't support proper disabling.
Add support for selective loading by class name (advanced users only)
* Send terrain data in a spiral pattern instead of a typewriter pattern (placeholder until terrain data becomes part of the interest list management)
* Added a debug line when resent packets are being sent
* Replaced calls to ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem() with ThreadPool.UnsafeQueueUserWorkItem() since OpenSim does not use Code Access Security sandboxing
* Initialize the LLClientView prim full update queue to the number of prims in the scene for a big performance boost
* Reordered some comparisons on hot code paths for a minor speed boost
* Removed an unnecessary call to the expensive DateTime.Now function (if you *have* to get the current time as opposed to Environment.TickCount, always use DateTime.UtcNow)
* Don't fire the queue empty callback for the Resend category
* Run the outgoing packet handler thread loop for each client synchronously. It seems like more time was being spent doing the execution asynchronously, and it made deadlocks very difficult to track down
* Rewrote some expensive math in LandObject.cs
* Optimized EntityManager to only lock on operations that need locking, and use TryGetValue() where possible
* Only update the attachment database when an object is attached or detached
* Other small misc. performance improvements
* Changed the Send*Data structs in IClientAPI to use public readonly members instead of private members and getters
* Made Parallel.ProcessorCount public
* Started switching over packet building methods in LLClientView to use Util.StringToBytes[256/1024]() instead of Utils.StringToBytes()
* More cleanup of the ScenePresences vs. ClientManager nightmare
* ScenePresence.HandleAgentUpdate() will now time out and drop incoming AgentUpdate packets after three seconds. This fixes a deadlock on m_AgentUpdates that was blocking up the LLUDP server
* Handle the AgentFOV packet
* Bypass queuing and throttles for ping checks to make ping times more closely match network latency
* Only track reliable bytes in LLUDPCLient.BytesSinceLastACK
