Second Life 1.5.8 Dec 14, 2004
=====================================
New Features and Changes:
-------------------------
- Added an option in Preferences to hide your active group title.
- Increased number of options for llDialog() from 4 to 12.
- When you pay an object or person in busy mode, a dialog pops up asking
if you want to leave busy mode. Note: when in busy mode inventory offers
will be automatically refused, so buying objects in busy mode may cause
those objects to be undelivered.
- Changed max size of script edit buffer from 32k to 64k. It's now the
same size as the notecard edit buffer.
- llGetNextEmail() now invokes no sleep penalty. Note: the rate at which
emails can be downloaded is limited by the period between a successful
llGetNextEmail() call and the corresponding email() event, (from 1 to
three seconds). There is no reason to poll faster than that, however there
is no penalty if you do. For best results, call llGetNextEmail() at some
descheduled rate (every 5 seconds or longer) then call llGetNextEmail()
again at the end of the the email() event if (and only if) there are
more pending emails in the queue.
- The Events Directory window in the finder now shows the duration of the
event in hours.
- Grass now has a position of 1m above the ground when created or moved.
- Avatar Vertex Programs will be turned off by default for all Mac
computers. You may turn this on if you wish. Note: turning this option
on will make all avatars invisible for some Mac graphics cards
(ATI 7500, 9000, 9200).
Fixed bugs:
-----------
- The SL installer is smarter and does not delete misc files inside the
SL installation directories.
- Fixed a client crash when saving a gesture.
- Hover tips over land and objects have rounded corners.
- Chat text console has a transparent gray background with rounded corners.
The background has 0.4 alpha by default, but can be disabled by giving it
full alpha in the Chat/IM Preference settings.
- Fixed a memory leak in the simulator physics engine.
- When dragging objects from one inventory window to another the source
window no longer scrolls when the object is dropped at its destination.
- Web links of the form secondlife://SimName/X/Y now properly select the
simulator in the drop-down combo box on the World Map. Note: if SimName
has a space in it then the link will work correctly if the spaces are
replaced with %20. For instance "Sim Name" would be done as:
secondlife://Sim%20Name/X/Y.
- Buying a unique object on land that is set to autoreturn will no longer
cause the unique object to be immediately returned to inventory.
- Fixed some text corruption in the Groups --> Money --> Planning user
interface widget.
- Fixed rendering and physics of large square holes in spheres and cylinders.
- When deeding a parcel to a group the user interface now properly updates
and reflects the changes to your max contribution.
- Editing the position/rotation of an object that is receiving constant
updates from the servers is now possible in most cases.
- Plugged the collisionless avatar exploit.

I once got SO burned on this when it didn't update properly and reflect the changes right away, and got double-billed tier. I'm still waiting for customer service to respond to my appeal about this. I'm so glad no one else will face this problem. |

64 K script memeory WHOOOOT Sorry that got your hopes up, but no. That's just the edit buffer, for where you type your LSL code. It's so you can put in lots of comments. We are still stuck with 16kb of stack/heap space. _____________________
