Despite the comments in the code, it appears that the issue where the .NET performance counter was wrongly idle time time on Mono was fixed in 2009.

Which means that the workaround is no longer necessary and produces bad results instead.
Another manifestation of this bug is that after a Hypergrid teleport, when you click on one of the avatar's attachments the object doesn't show its name. This means that the viewer knows the attachment is there, but the simulator does not.
The problem was caused by treating Hypergrid teleports as if they're Logins (because the teleport flag ViaLogin is enabled).

This caused the client to stop responding, and even the simulators to have problems. The solution is to disallow crossing before the previous cross has completed.
When sending an ImprovedInstantMessage to a group, the IM's binary bucket is supposed to contain the group's name (this is what SL does). Singularity uses this to show the group name when it shows the message at the bottom of the viewer for a few seconds: "[Group Name] From User: Message". Before this update, the group name was empty ("[]").
This update doesn't have any visible effect in Firestorm, because it doesn't use the group name sent in the IM.
when registering a new region.
Adds parameter "[GridService]SuppressVarRegionOverlapCheckOnRegistration=false"
that can be turned on to suppress the error check if a simulator's database
has old regions that overlap.
As per http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.random%28v=vs.100%29.aspx, the .NET Random class is not thread-safe.
If called by multiple threads at once, methods may return 0.
Except for llRand(), other OpenSimulator code did not lock before calling a shared Random instance.
This commit adds a ThreadSafeRandom class that extends Random but does internal locking so that it is thread-safe.
This change is invisible to existing callers and the explicit locking in the llFrand() implementation is now redundant.
Code was identical apart from error logging, but if there are failures creating these directories then you'll be
seeing lots of errors anyway, and these will be more informative
In commit e6080a38 (Wed Mar 19 00:29:36 2014) I renamed this from "debug stats record start|stop"
Unfortunately, I didn't do this fully so before this commit "stats record start|stop" will report a usage failure with the old debug text.
Unfortunately this is in the 0.8 release. The workaround is to repeat the last command twice (e.g. "stats record start start")
This will show an approximate grid size that doesn't count regions that are hyperlinks
Not particularly trustworthy since it will still count regions that are not active but were not deregistered (deliberately or due to simulator crash or similar)
"show regions" drops the owner id column but is till present in "show region"
"show regions" name column expanded to allow for longer hg regions (probably still too short, may eventually have to truncate rather than taking up huge screen space)
I think it's still useful to know this to show up any errors early, but it's reasonable to still carry on rather than throw an exception.
