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.
This may be the wrong thing to do but stops lots of log spam in HG setups now that the monitoring is extended to other outgoing calls.
LongCallTime may need to be made configurable.
The functions DeleteFolders() and PurgeFolder() still work as before, i.e. they only allow deleting folders that are in the Trash. However, the functions DeleteFoldersEx() and PurgeFolderEx() can now be used to delete any folder.
This is because the viewer doesn't receive a timezone from the server but bases its displays on Pacific Standard Time.
However, it still expects to receive notification from the server as to whether or not Daylight Savings Time for PST is in operation.
This commit introduces a new DSTZone setting in the [LoginService] config setting that accepts a list of timezone names valid across different platforms to calculate Pacific DST.
If you need the old behaviour of calculating DST based on the local timezone of the server running the login service, then please override DSTZone with "local".
A mailing list announcement will be made later.
Thanks to Olivier Van Helden and Gudule Lapointe for determining this behaviour and providing this patch.
