Voice enabled
Voice services from Vivox have been enabled in many regions, including andwest, andwest bay, Norderhov, Barcola (conference center). Also the Dayturn region running on a Raspberry PI 4 has voice enabled.
Look for the white dot above the avatar which should be visible if voice services are available if you have enabled voice in your viewer.
Grid server updates
All grid servers are now running mono 6.4.0.198 which is another big update since the previous version 6.0.0.319.
Grid servers running macOS has been upgraded with supplemental security updates.
Grid server updates
All grid servers are now running mono 6.0.0.319, which is a major update from version 5.x with a number of performance and security improvements.
The database server has been upgraded to run PostgreSQL 9.6.15.
Grid servers running macOS has been upgraded to macOS 10.13.6 or 10.14.6 including supplemental security updates.
Grid server running Raspbian has been upgraded to Rasbian 10 (Debian Buster).
Database maintenance and update
The grid was down 20 minutes for maintenance of a database RAID, and upgrade to PostgreSQL 9.6.14.
An update you can talk about
Voice chat has been enabled in the Dayturn region after Vivox provided us with a voice server account.
A missing (legacy) flag VEHICLE_FLAG_NO_FLY_UP has been added to the scripting engine for all regions.
Hover Height has been enabled in all regions. Support for it may be differing in viewers, so YMMV. An upcomming version of the Dayturn viewer will have the Hover Height floater enabled also for OpenSim grids.
Hover Height adjustments may be useful if your avatar sinks into the ground or floats above it when wearing some outfits or mesh avatars. It might also be useful to adjust your position when sitting on objects.
Updates deployed to region servers
The following updates have been deployed to all region servers:
• The OSSL function osGetPSTWallclock() has been added.
• mantis 8506 parse highlod mesh and compare its number of prim faces to the number of faces provided and warn mismatch
• mantis 8505 remove the meshes numbre of sides warning. build prims with the number of sides of the high LOD submesh
• mantis 8527 and 8517 combined fixes a number of issues with PRIM_TEXTURE
• LSL Constants have been updated
System and database updates deployed
All grid servers got a dose of security updates today.
The security updates include mitigating code for the "Microarchitectural Data Sampling" (MDS) vulnerability in Intel processors.
In addition PostgreSQL was updated to version 9.6.13.
Updates deployed
An update to Mantis 0008496: llPushObject has no effect on avatars (BulletSim) has been deployed to all grid servers.
An update to Mantis 0008442: [SCRIPT] Small bug with osSetDynamicTextureDataBlendFace under Linux has been deployed to all grid servers.
Update for vehicles
A change has been deployed to all grid servers that will make all vehicle scripts significantly more likely to work as intended.
System and OSSL updates
An update has been deployed that fixes a problem where copy and paste of a folder would result in an empty pasted folder when using some versions of Firestorm and Dayturn viewers.
In addition multiple updates to OSSL functions have been deployed.
New functions are:
• osStringSubString
• osStringStartsWith
• osStringEndsWith
• osStringIndexOf
• osStringLastIndexOf
• osStringRemove
• osStringReplace
• osApproxEquals
These OSSL functions are still pre-release, so behavior may not be predictable or finalized. The user documentation on the OSSL Function page is also not completed yet.
The OSSL function osList2Double has been removed and is no longer supported.
An update has been deployed that fixes an issue where some primitive faces could not receive texture updates via LSL.
An update has been deployed that fixes an issue where llwhisper, llSay and llShout emit from the source prim and not root. (Mantis 8410)
An update has been deployed that allows the number of prims on a parcel to be drawn from the total prims allowed on all parcels owned by the parcel owner for that region. (Mantis 8035)
