As always, it's better to spend a while there before it gets deployed in the hopes of finding a problem than to wait for many more people to find the problem after deployment.

Also you can try out items and pay for them with worthless preview money, and you can import animations you are working on and see them inworld up close and pay for the upload with worthless preview money.

"Camera and movement controls do not gain keyboard focus"

Oh goodie! (I think - if this means I will no longer jump when trying to talk after moving the camera.)

P.S. Yay on the snapshots! (I think, if I'm understanding it right.)

P.S. *wonders what a FOO is*

Owner and Everyone roles cannot be renamed


What? Why not? I have had a lot of fun renaming my role in my own group in the past. This is a shame.

However, there are a lot of bug fixes and features that people have been asking for in this update. I hope everyone who has been screaming that LL does not listen will read this and enjoy a steaming mug of STFU.

Some nice stuff in there, but the friends list is completley broken, and I have to manually make textures rez by altclicking every.. single.. object.. It's wonderful! Clothing also seems to be screwed up too (as if it ever isn't on the preview grid). I can't wait for wednesday! :p

I'm not going to STFU Chronic, fixing bugs recently introduced rather than long-standing ones is no reason to rejoice. Adding database related features, while welcome, should never have taken this long to deploy in the first place.

We can be happy that progress continues and hope that the new release is as solid as possible, but this in no way deflects complaints about poor frame rate performance, unexplainable prim drift or the myriad of recent complaints filed here that are met with "We're trying to figure it out" responses.

Yay, no more bags on your head. I'm about to embark on rebagging all my items for sale, and one thing I was going to do was this very thing.

It's the name of the ROLE in the group that can not be changed. You can still change the TITLE that role has, ie your 'tag' you have when that group is activated.

Clubside, your posts have always been well-thought-out. My comment was geared towards the ones who post nothing but "OMG LL fux0red it up an they never Fix anything all they do is mak new feechers that now won wants! FIX IT FIX IT!!111!!one!11" Yes, there are things to complain about - I would be a fool to argue that. However, I am very sick of seeing the posts from people who think all that the staff at LL do all day is play pool and think about ways to piss off the residents.

Sorry Chronic, you are absolutely right, there are too many shouts rather than simple posts expressing problems and looking for solutions. While I'd like to wish this was because people were on edge or been around long enough to have abandoned more rational discussion of issues, I doubt that's the case.

Perhaps the the ZOMG posts will be minimized at third party forums, where people won't expect the Lindens to be looking for community reaction at all times. More than likely they will continue, either for the humor or the stress release.

wooHoo...no more having to click inworld after using the camer.

foo
A popular name for a temporary file, function or variable, or an example of same in documentation. Often used with "bar" to create "foobar," which is a variation of FUBAR. FUBAR came out of World War II and means "F***ed Up Beyond All Repair."

HTH ;)

LOL

They actually always fix stuff although the new SHINEY that is in some updates sometimes overshadows the fixes.

More often what overshadows the fixes in an update is what they break in the update.

I'll hold off my verdict on 1.12 until Thursday, although I am REALLY looking forward to the new group tools.

The thing that bothers me is how they somehow find a way to break features that have worked since the early days of SL without even logging info on the changes they made about that particuler thing. Its like this...

Todays update includes
------
* Added more group spaces
* Changed Search back to Find cuz it confused some
* Fixed a issue where you could click on a cube and end up with all of anshe_chungs money (this isn't real :P)
------

Now when that update goes live, and we all download and login we find our friends list deleting people at random and our mouse arrow dragging things out of our inventories without us touching it. Did they even tell us they changed these things? No... :p

Sim border crossing is about 5x better than in 1.11, even if you are in a vehicle, so I'm very pleased. I just wish they would fix the script editor so I can get back to work.
