Chinese Butterflies???

95% of the residents love to hear about chinese butterflies and leaking butts, but that is mostly because the other 5% of the residents deliver scripts that allow the 95% to enjoy the butt(erflies).

For those 5% it can be a real time saver to have access to actual, detailed info on all those little changes made in each version.

A while back I discovered a potential looping feedback problem, which was fixed and probably disguised as one of those butt(erflies) in the new version's readme.

Today I found a purpose for this 'problem', turning a bug into a feature. Took me quite some time to figure out that the bug/feature was long history.

To Lindens: detailed version changes listing anywhere on the website for those who care please?

To those 5%: scripts no longer listen to themselves or other scripts in the same prim.

And to those other 95%: enjoy your butterflies!

Wait so the butterfly flaps its wings in Peking and i get hit by lighting? ... er sorry wrong convoluded thought patern.

So prims with multiple scripts cant listen to themselves any more ?

Ohhhhh, I kind of wish I'd known this when I was trying to debug something earlier...

I agree for a detailed list of revisions in every upgrade (no matter how insignificant).


About the listening to self problem:

just use the link_message() functions and events to cross-script communicate (if scripts are on same prim).

I imagine LL doing this to prevent infinitely looping scripts (objects repeating themselved) and to decrease the lag caused by llShout(), llSay() and the like (compared to llMessageLinked()).
