This week in OpenSim ( f798679 – aa7cadc ).
General news
- OpenSimulator 0.7 was released! Pretty much all the bug fixes described here made it into that release.
Features & bug fixes
- Diva fixed a nasty problem where script editing and loading would sometimes freeze a region. See Mantis 4858 for more details (7c124a5).
- I readjusted broadcast blue box notices to only go out to avatars that were actually in the broadcasting sim (rather than those also in neighbours) (e46c0a0).
- Melanie made a change to allow friends with permissions and shared group members to copy and move items out of prims (ea51bea).
- Melanie made a change to allow megaregions to start properly after an unclean shutdown (ac1a347).
Infrastructure
- I continued to work on OpenSim’s shared media/media on a prim implementation, concentrating on improvements to the messages and data communicated between the server and the client. One effect of this was to get URL drag and drop to a prim surface working.
