This is to resolve a problem where an asset marked as local but not temporary but still used in the scene would be removed.
The timed expiry scan no longer tries to refetch assets from the scene that are not currently in the cache - this is not helpful since it just drags a lot of data into the cache that may never be referenced.
This removes the DeepScanBeforePurge option since setting this to false will introduce the above problem. This previously had a default of true.
This is necessary because commit 8131a24 (Tue Mar 27 10:08:13 2012) started passing the config section name rather than hardcoding "AssetService"
This meant that the HG external-facing asset service tried to read ConnectionString from [HGAssetService] rather than [AssetService].
On SQLite, not finding this meant that it fell back to [DatabaseService], which is set for OpenSim.db rather than Asset.db.
Therefore, all external asset requests returned null.
Solution taken here is to create an [HGAssetService] section with the same ConnectionString as [AssetService].
This bug does not affect normal MySQL/MSSQL config since they use the [DatabaseService] connection string anyway.
Addresses http://opensimulator.org/mantis/view.php?id=6200, many thanks to DanBanner for identifying the exact problem commit which was very helpful.
This was a regression from OpenSimulator 0.7.3.1 which did not contain this bug.
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.
From http://opensimulator.org/mantis/view.php?id=5972
The asset data plugin now implements IXAssetData rather than IAssetData so the ordinary AssetService should no longer pick it up.
This replaces the changes in 92b1ade. There is no longer any need to adjust your StandaloneCommon.ini/Robust.ini/Robust.HG.ini files.
This may explain very recent issues in the last few weeks where textures have been disappearing or turning white (as they were going to different places).
Unfortunately, you will need to rollback to an earlier database backup or reupload the textures.
People using standalone in master, please update your StandaloneCommon.ini according to this change.
People using robust in master, please update your Robust.HG.ini.example[.HG].ini according to this change.
The osGetGrid**** functions will now get the grid settings from the GridInfoService. Set the GridInfoURI in your ./bin/config-include/GridCommon.ini [GridInfo] section.
This is to make it easier to change all these names at once, where all grids services are running from the same location.
Also rearranges some lines in [Modules] so that StandaloneCommon.ini.example and GridCommon.ini.exmaple are consistent.
This is controlled by the CreateDefaultAvatarEntries switch in the [UserAccountService] section of config-include/Stnadalone.ini
This is left as false in grid mode
Viewer 2 no longer contains the default avatar assets (i.e. "Ruth") that would appear if the user had insufficient body part/clothing entries.
Instead, avatars always appear as a cloud, which is a very bad experience for out-of-the-box OpenSim.
Default is currently off. My intention is to switch it on for standalone shortly.
This is not particularly flexible as "Ruth" is hardcoded, but this can change in the future, in co-ordination with the existing RemoteAdmin capabilities.
Need to fix creation of suitable entries for users created as estate owners on standalone.
Avatars still appear with spooky empty eyes, need to see if we can address this.
This commit adds a "Default Iris" to the library (thanks to Eirynne Sieyes from http://opensimulator.org/mantis/view.php?id=1461) which can be used.
This matches the GridCommon setting and is the best tested setting. It appears to work fine on standalone.
Also, add information that the flotsam asset cache is the recommended cache, since it is most used and actively maintained.
This matches the ability to disable the memory part
This is controlled through the FileCacheEnabled parameter in FlotsamCache.ini
Default is true, so existing installations are not affected.
Improved fcache command feedback when various caches are disabled.
Re-enabled test for flotsam cache with file caching disabled.
Instead of performing the 4096 check when the region is linked (and subsequently removing the link), leave the link in place and perform the check in the entity transfer module
This allows us to explicitly tell the hypergridder why the teleport failed (region out of range).
It also allows people on regions that are within range (on a large source grid) to teleport.
The Check4096 config parameter in the [GridService] section is replaced by a max_distance paramter in a new [EntityTransfer] section in OpenSimDefaults.ini
Since the parameter is in OpenSimDefaults.ini no action needs to be taken unless you want to increase this limit. It could also be decreased.
The check is being made in the base entity transfer module, since I believe the viewer problem occurs both on extremely large grids and while hypergridding.
