option for LLUDPServer. On windows .NET the default socket receive
buffer size is 8192 bytes, on recent linux systems it's about
111K. both value can be a bit small for an OpenSim instance serving
many clients. The socket receive buffer size can be configured via
an OpenSim.ini config option
- adds a general catch clause to LLUDPServer.OnReceivedData() to
prevent it submerging when an unexpected Exception occurs.
This change moves texture send processing out of the main
packet processing loop and moves it to a timer based
processing cycle.
Texture packets are sent to the client consistently over
time. The timer is discontinued whenever there are no
textures to transmit.
The behavior of the texture sending mechanism is controlled
by three variables in the LLCLient section of the config
file:
[1] TextureRequestRate (mS) determines how many times per second
texture send processing will occur. The default is 100mS.
[2] TextureSendLimit determines how many different textures
will be considered on each cycle. Textures are selected
by priority. The old mechanism specified a value of 10 for
this parameter and this is the default
[3] TextureDataLimit determines how many packets will be sent for
each of the selected textures. The old mechanism specified a
value of 5, so this is the default.
So the net effect is that TextureSendLimit*TextureDataLimit
packets will be sent every TextureRequestRate mS.
Once we have gotten a reasonable feeling for how these parameters
affect overall processing, it would be nice to autonmically manage
these values using information about the current status of the
region and network.
Note that this also resolves the pathologcal problem that
previously existed which was that a seated avatar generated very
few in-bound packets (theoretically) and would therefore be the
least able to retrieve the images being displayed by a
projector script.
Several improvements in the connectors themselves.
Several improvements in configurations.
Needed to add a hack in IUserService and UserManagerBase, to be removed when that service is refactored.
See the files: bin/config-include/GridCommon.ini.example and bin/config-include/StandaloneCommon.ini.example to configure and enable this caching method.

exe for each function, rather each function is a connector and the server ini
loads them. If you like your multiple processes, use -inifile with the server.
Otherwise, you get one server process that serves all configured funcions, see
example .ini. The new exe is OpenSim.Server.exe. Clean your bin, loads of names
have changed!
We've encountered problems with textures never fully downloading and
objects not moving or being deleted (from the client's point of view)
even when the bandwidth settings on the client have been set very
low. This can happen over reasonably lossy links (eg you're on the
other side of the world from the server) as the server retries 3 times
and then gives up.
Whilst its possible to set ReliableIsImportant, this forces the server
to keep retrying no matter what which potentially could lead to
problems. This patch allows for the setting of MaxReliableResends
explicitly (is set to 3 normally) in OpenSim.ini so if you know you
will have clients connecting with poor connections you can set it a
bit higher (10-15 works quite well even for very poor connections).
This may break a lot of things, but it needs to go in. It was tested in standalone and the UCI grid, but it needs a lot more testing.
Known problems:
* HG asset transfers are borked for now
* missing texture is missing
* 3 unit tests commented out for now
default but can be enabled in OpenSim.ini. If enabled, things can be sold
for $0. Other amounts will cause the buyer to see a message and the transaction
will fail.
- AssetType isn't InventoryType. Those enums contain different numbers. Use AssetType for the asset type, InventoryType for the inventory type.
- The ToString method (or ToLower) of AssetType/InventoryType doesn't necessarily return the correct LLSD string.
- Replaced several magic numbers by their corresponding enum.
- Fixed the invType for gestures and animations in the library.
This should fix Mantis #3610 and the non-terminating inventory loading
Move json stats to non-published resource name
Remove well-known resource name for json stats,
creating dynamic uris with private keys and add
a user configurable resource name for region owner usage.
Different people using Hippo 0.5.1 report that trying
to send group instant messages crashes the viewer
(Hippo 0.5.1). This is the case even for empty groups
or if all group members are online.
Don't allow packets to be resent before they have actually been sent for the
first time. Switch from serializing a packet to get it's length to the LibOMV
provided Length property. Fix resend timing. Fix the use of dangling references
to Acked packets. Fix the packet handler to play nice with the packet pool.
Fix the packet pool. Add data block recycling to the packet pool. Packet pool
is now ENABLED by default. Add config option to disable packet and data block
reuse. Add ObjectUpdate and ImprovedTerseObjectUpdate to the packets being
recycled.
The attached patch provides the necessary infrastructure to support
security and authentication features of the xmlrpc server.
* Read/Write keys for accessing a Group's xmlrpc service.
* Requiring user session verification for write operations.
- Adds an admin_modify_region call to allow changing of parcel voice
settings and changing of public/private status
- add boolean "public" and boolean "enable_voice" to
admin_create_region XmlRpc call to allow specifying of
public/private status and to allow enabling voice for all parcels;
also added config variables to allow setting of defaults for those
- fixing cut-and-paste artefacts
* Refactors the xmlrpc calls to a single location to
make it easier to debug and include alternative
xmlrpc call mechanisms
* Includes an alternative xmlrpc call mechanism that
sets HTTP Keep-Alive to false which solves nearly all
System.Net exceptions on some windows environments
Added is a patch that adds a rough Groups implementation. This patch allows
the creation, adding and maintaining Groups, Roles and Members. Work has begun
on a very naive implementation of messaging, and minimal support for notifications
{no attachments yet}. Proposals are not yet supported, but are on the to-do list.
This implementation is not active by default, and must be configured in
OpenSim.ini to become active.
* Tweak the LLSetStatus results in the ODEPlugin. Hopefully it's a little less unstable.
* ODEPlugin is using experimental math for LLSetStatus, use with caution! :)
Fixes Mantis #3421
Change the agent/avatar events subscriptions to just OnNewClient. The data only needs to be sent once and keeping track of log ins/movements is not required. This will also send cloud data to child agents so that they can see clouds above neighbouring regions not just regions that they have visited.
- Change several classes to use the new plugin for handling of region-modules
(NOTE: No regionmodule is using this yet)
- Add necessary prebuild parts (don't forget to runprebuild)
Attention: Work in progress. This shouldn't break anything, but you never know...
* It's not ready to try. It doesn't do what you expect in many ways.
* It throws errors and prints jibberish on the console
* Test it out only if you're brave and you've backed up first.
* The opensim.ini line is physics = BulletDotNETPlugin
Added safemode config to Standalone Hypergrid, similar effect to AllowRegionAccessToInventory in Inventory Server. Everyone should have these vars set to their default values except me!
With some support from HomerH, this patch adds support for Wind
Model plugins via the mono.Addin framework.
* Adds console & OSSL access to Wind Parameters
* Adds plug-in support for custom wind models
* Provides two example Wind Model plug-ins
Documentation for the wind module is temporarily located at http://code.google.com/p/flotsam/wiki/CoreWindModule [^]
-- will move this documentation to http://opensimulator.org [^]
after the patch has been committed.
