------------------------------
- Teleports are not routed to telehubs, unless there is a telehub in your
destination simulator.
- Some avatar appearance changes are not visible to others nearby until the
first avatar leaves appearance mode.
New Features
------------
- Automated event notifications: you can now add notifications for events and
you will get an alert 5 minutes before the event begins (if you are logged
in at that time).
- Improved event search functionality:
* Search in event name or description
* Search by category
* Search for upcoming events
- Multiple-column lists more legible with ledger-style coloring.
- Added a 'fog distance multiplier' spinner in the Preferences to reduce or
increase the amount of fogging.
- Removed far clipping. It can be enabled as a performance option in the
Preferences.
- Estate owners can adjust several region controls on their private islands.
There are controls for terraformability, avatar limits, water height,
ground textures, texture ranges, fixing the sun, and setting the sun phase.
- Estate owners can send messages to online residents, and set estate
visibility and access rules. By setting an estate as visible from mainland,
anyone who is not on the ban list can see and potentially access the
simulators in the estate. By setting an estate as not visible from mainland,
only residents and groups on the allow lists be be able to see the simulators
n the estate. Up to 50 avatars can be listed on the avatars allow and ban
lists and up to 50 groups can be listed in the allowed groups.
- Estate visibility rules apply to finding parcels, events, and online avatars.
For example, if an event is happening on a simulator in a private estate,
only the residents on the allow list or in a group on the allow list can find
the event in the 'Find' dialog.
- Second Life now features the ability to have residents which are limited to
a particular estate.
- The default new user inventory will be much smaller. There will be a good set
of items in the inventory library which can be worn, rezzed, and used for
texturing.
- Inventory items which are exact duplicates of inventory library contents
will be purged from the database. If you miss the popgun, another copy can
be found in the Library.
- Parcels reserved for first time buyers - land for the landless - can be
found in the 'Find' dialog. These parcels can only be purchased by residents
that have never owned land in Second Life.
- Large parcels which would otherwise be automatically released to public by
the system will be reclaimed by the governor.
- LSL changes:
* Hex Entry: You can now enter integers in hexadecimal (e.g. 0xff, 0x10,
0xF0AB, 0x20baef49 etc...) and octal form (e.g. 077, 010, 070565) in
both numerical initializers and string to integer conversions.
* Binary shift operators: You can now shift the bits of an integer
(e.g. 0x10 >> 2 would give 0x04)
* llGetObjectDesc(): Returns the description of the object to which the
script is attached.
* llSetObjectDesc(): Sets the description of the object to which the script
is attached.
* llGetCreator(): Returns the creator of an object in the same manner as
llGetOwner().
* llGetTimestamp(): Returns a timestamp in the format:
YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm
s.ff..fZ * llSetLinkAlpha(): Complement to llSetLinkColor; sets the alpha instead.
* llSetLinkColor(): Now keeps track of current alpha settings
(ie it doesn't overwrite them anymore)
* llGetNumberOfPrims(): Returns the number of prims in the linked set the
script is attached to.
* llGetNumberOfNotecardLines(): Returns the number of lines in a notecard.
* llGetPrimitiveParams(): Takes a list of requested parameters, and returns
a list with current primitive settings.
* llSetPrimitiveParams(): Now uses new parameters for PRIM_TYPE_*;
read documentation for new usage.
* llGetRootPosition(): Returns the global position of the root primitive of
the object to which the script is attached.
* llGetRootRotation(): Returns the global rotation of the root primitive of
the object to which the script is attached.
* For those people who want to store data in binary formats:
+ string llIntegerToBase64(integer): Returns the little-endian encode of
the lower 24-bits of integer as a 4 character Base64 string.
+ integer llBaseToInteger(string str): Returns the (24 bit) little-endian
decode of a 4 character Base64 string.
- Primitive Changes:
* Added a new shape 'Ring' which is similar to a Torus or Tube, but with a
triangular cross-section.
* Added a "Begin Twist" to all shapes. Previously used twist is now called
"End Twist".
* Doubled the available twist range.
* Allowed for setting Twist on a sphere via the edit window.
* Allowed for Hole Size X, Top Shear, and Advanced Cut on Torus, Tube, and
Ring shapes.
* Added 5 additional settings for Torus, Tube, and Ring shapes:
+ Skew - Defines the amount of an x-axis offset to use during a sweep
(to create spiral shapes)
+ Taper - Defines how much of a tapering effect to use in the x/y size of
the 'hole' (negative values taper the opposite end)
+ Radius Delta - Defines the amount of radius falloff to use; good for
corkscrew type shapes (negative values modify the opposite end)
+ Revolutions - Defines how many times to sweep around the path, allowing
for up to 4 revolutions.
- Only highlight root object when not in edit mode.
- Don't select invisible geometry with right click when not in edit mode.
- Live Help: added an item in the Help menu whcih users can invoke in order
to ask for help via an instant message (IM) from other residents who are
currently online and who are a members of a group called "Live Help".
When the IM is recieved each "Live Help" member will be provided with a
teleport button which will take them directly to the caller's location.
- Script-rezed objects die (and do not accumulate in inventory trash) at edge
of world, too high, and too low.
Bug Fixes
---------
- You can now set a home location on group associated land.
- Duplicate alerts (such as the "You cannot create objects here...."
are throttled.
- Find panel should no longer freeze the viewer when opened.
- Increased audio buffer size to reduce audio stream dropouts.
- Increased priority for textures on objects that are under the mouse cursor
or are selected.
- Fixed an issue which would cause terrain textures to sometimes not load
correctly.
- Fixed two simulator resource leaks that would reduce performance over time.
- Made improvements to the order of object transmission from simulator to
viewer.
- Fixed some bugs that would result in ghost objects or avatars.
- We no longer spatialize mono audio streams.
- Baked texture caching: putting on an outfit you've worn recently now results
in a faster change in appearance.
- Animation triggering more reliable: fixed a bug that would cause some
animations to refuse to play.
- Proper preview of transparent textures on avatar: we show a background color
where clothing is transparent.
- Drag and drop will not hit objects that are transparent under the mouse
cursor.
- Sped up texture compositing and preview while customizing avatar.
- Can manage multiple instances of a script on different objects with
separate windows.
- Hitting backspace at beginning of line in a line editor will scroll back
10 spaces.
- Smoother camera motion when zooming in on an object.
- Object selection persists across simulator boundaries.
- Reduced slowdowns when entering an area with many avatars.
- When logged out for inactivity your location will be saved as your "last

- llUnSit() no longer bumps flying avatars who aren't actually sitting.
- llDetectedGroup() now works for avatars.
- Fixed bug where object would go passive even if scripts were waiting for

- Clear autoreturn on transfer of parcels.
- Other people's objects are always returned in reverse chronological order,
even if touched.
- LINK_ROOT now in tool tips and text highlighting.
