11 | RELEASE HIGHLIGHTS | ||
12 | |||
13 | * Temporary (Free) Texture Uploads. When uploading an image, | ||
14 | select "Temporary Image (Free)" to upload it for free, but with | ||
15 | some caveats (see below). Thanks to the Emerald viewer for this | ||
16 | feature, and Armin for porting it! | ||
17 | |||
18 | - Temporary textures are intended for testing and preview | ||
19 | purposes only. They exist only on the sim they are uploaded | ||
20 | to, will disappear from your inventory when you log off, and | ||
21 | may disappear from the sim when it restarts. | ||
22 | |||
23 | * Breast Physics. By popular demand, we have ported breast | ||
24 | physics simulation (i.e. jiggly boobs) from the Emerald Viewer. | ||
25 | Thanks to Danny Nolan and the Emerald devs for creating this | ||
26 | feature, and Armin for porting it! | ||
27 | |||
28 | - Currently, this feature can only be configured via Debug | ||
29 | Settings: EmeraldBreastPhysicsToggle (to disable/enable the | ||
30 | feature entirely), EmeraldBoobMass, EmeraldBoobHardness, | ||
31 | etc. | ||
32 | |||
33 | * SpeedRez. After teleporting, the viewer will temporarily | ||
34 | decrease the draw distance to encourage nearby objects and | ||
35 | textures to rez first. Thanks for the patch, Henri Beauchamp! | ||
36 | |||
37 | - You can disable this feature by setting the SpeedRez debug | ||
38 | setting to FALSE, or adjust the timing by editing the | ||
39 | SpeedRezInterval debug setting (smaller numbers restore the | ||
40 | old draw distance sooner). | ||
41 | |||
42 | * Building hotkeys to cycle through prims in a link set | ||
43 | (SNOW-97). See the "Tools > Select Linked Parts" menu. Thanks | ||
44 | for the patch, Thickbrick Sleaford! | ||
45 | |||
46 | |||
47 | KNOWN ISSUES | ||
48 | |||
49 | * Linux: The viewer may crash on some Ubuntu Karmic 64-bit | ||
50 | installs, most likely due to a bug in glib2. As a work around, | ||
51 | users affected by this issue can modify the "imprudence" launch | ||
52 | script to add the following code near the top of the script | ||
53 | (for example on the second line): | ||
54 | |||
55 | export LL_WRAPPER='strace -o /dev/null' | ||
56 | |||
57 | * All known issues listed for 1.3.0 beta 1 still apply to this | ||
58 | this version. | ||
59 | |||
60 | |||
61 | CHANGES | ||
62 | |||
63 | In addition to the Release Highlights above, this version of | ||
64 | Imprudence also includes the following changes, as compared to | ||
65 | Imprudence 1.3.0 beta 1. | ||
66 | |||
67 | |||
68 | FEATURES / IMPROVEMENTS | ||
69 | |||
70 | * Opening SLURLs ("secondlife://...") from another application | ||
71 | is now handled nicely on Linux. If Imprudence is already | ||
72 | running, the SLURL will open in the current instance of | ||
73 | Imprudence. Otherwise, it will launch a new instance of | ||
74 | Imprudence. Thanks, Armin! | ||
75 | |||
76 | * The notecard editor now has Search/Replace functionality. | ||
77 | Thanks for the patch, Kitty Barnett! | ||
78 | |||
79 | * The notecard editor now has an "Edit" menu. Thanks for the | ||
80 | patch, Henri Beauchamp! | ||
81 | |||
82 | * The password field on the login screen now uses solid black | ||
83 | circles (•) instead of asterisks (*), for a cleaner look. | ||
84 | Thanks, Geneko Nemeth! | ||
85 | |||
86 | * Added PrivateLookAtTarget debug setting. When enabled, the | ||
87 | viewer will no longer tell other users where your avatar is | ||
88 | looking. Thanks for the patch, Henri Beauchamp! | ||
89 | |||
90 | |||
91 | BUG FIXES | ||
92 | |||
93 | * Fixed: Possible crash related to ShowLookAt targets. Thanks, Armin! | ||
94 | |||
95 | * Fixed: Pie menu remains after switch to Mouselook (VWR-2425). | ||
96 | Thanks for the patch, Kitty Barnett! | ||
97 | |||
98 | * Fixed: Some menu entries were missing from the Advanced menu. | ||
99 | Thanks, Jacek! | ||
100 | |||
101 | - Advanced > UI > Use default system color picker | ||
102 | - Advanced > UI > Show search panel in overlay bar | ||
103 | - Advanced > UI > Show Matrices | ||
104 | - Advanced > XUI > Font Test... | ||
105 | |||
106 | * Fixed: Clicking the "Advanced > UI > Double-Click Auto-Pilot" | ||
107 | menu entry would crash the viewer, so it has been removed. | ||
108 | (As of Imprudence 1.2, double-click autopilot is configured | ||
109 | in "Preferences > Input & Camera.) Thanks, Jacek! | ||
110 | |||
111 | * Applied several bug fixes from Henri Beauchamp. Thanks, Henri! | ||
112 | |||
113 | - Fixed: The viewer would sometimes crash when touching or | ||
114 | focusing the camera on an object that was being rezzed. | ||
115 | |||
116 | - Fixed: The viewer did not properly use the .tga file | ||
117 | extension when saving textures to your computer. | ||
118 | |||
119 | - Fixed: The viewer would sometimes crash when encountering | ||
120 | avatars using "extra" attachment points (multiple | ||
121 | attachments on the same body part). | ||
122 | |||
123 | * Fixed: Some pop-up notifications behaved incorrectly: Build | ||
124 | Math Expressions help pop-ups, and the "Restore to Last | ||
125 | Position" warning. | ||
126 | |||
127 | * Fixed: Several cases where the viewer could pause or freeze | ||
128 | when downloading textures (SNOW-196, SNOW-408, SNOW-434, | ||
129 | SNOW-435, SNOW-485). Thanks for the patches, Aleric | ||
130 | Inglewood, Merov Linden, Robin Cornelius, and Vex Streeter! | ||
131 | |||
132 | |||
133 | OTHER CHANGES | ||
134 | |||
135 | * ELFIO has been reactivated on 64-bit Linux. It had been | ||
136 | disabled in 1.3.0 beta 1 as a possible fix for a crash for | ||
137 | some 64-bit Linux users, but the problem turned out to be | ||
138 | something else (see Known Issues, above). Thank, Armin! | ||
139 | |||
140 | * Linux: You can now disable disable DBUS support by passing | ||
141 | the "--disableDBUS" command line option or setting the | ||
142 | "DisableDBUS" Debug Setting to TRUE. This is meant as a | ||
143 | work-around for users who crash when using DBUS. Thank, | ||
144 | Armin! | ||
145 | |||
146 | * The pre-packaged 32-bit GStreamer plugins will be now be | ||
147 | available to GStreamer when running the 32-bit Linux build on | ||
148 | a 64-bit Linux system. Thank, Armin! | ||
149 | |||
150 | * To save developers' time and effort, the ChangeLog.txt file | ||
151 | is now automatically generated from Git commit messages, | ||
152 | instead of being edited by hand. Thanks, Jacek! | ||
