11 | A BRIEF GUIDE TO IMPRUDENCE 1.2 | ||
12 | |||
13 | Imprudence 1.2 adds many new features, fixes, and improvements to | ||
14 | the viewer experience. Here are a just few of the new features | ||
15 | and improvements since Imprudence 1.1: | ||
16 | |||
17 | * Backup your builds, your scripts, and your avatar's shape. If | ||
18 | you created it, you have the right to back it up or move it to | ||
19 | a different grid. | ||
20 | |||
21 | * Double-click Teleport and Autopilot. We've taken the popular | ||
22 | double-click teleport feature and improved upon it. The default | ||
23 | behavior can now be set in Preferences > Input & Camera. We've | ||
24 | also added an ignorable confirmation dialog to reduce the | ||
25 | chance of accidental teleportations. | ||
26 | |||
27 | * Improved minimap with built-in radar. The minimap now has | ||
28 | enhanced zooming and panning, a built-in avatar radar to see | ||
29 | who is nearby, plus optional chat notices when avatars enter or | ||
30 | leave chat range or the sim. (Enable minimap notify in | ||
31 | Preferences > General.) | ||
32 | |||
33 | * Improved OpenSim support. We've added a list of popular grids | ||
34 | to connect to, as well as a grid manager so you can add your | ||
35 | own. You can also enjoy many building benefits when using | ||
36 | OpenSim, such as the ability to build and edit prims larger | ||
37 | than 10m on a side! | ||
38 | |||
39 | * Restrained Life support. Thanks to RLVa by Kitty Barnett, | ||
40 | Imprudence now supports the Restrained Life API for BDSM items | ||
41 | and scripted gadgets. | ||
42 | |||
43 | * Windlight toolbar. We've added a new tab along the bottom of | ||
44 | the screen for quick access to your Windlight presets and | ||
45 | certain graphics options. We've also added a variety of | ||
46 | Windlight presets from Ana Lutetia, CodeBastard Redgrave, and | ||
47 | Torley Linden! | ||
48 | |||
49 | * Numerous other features that improve the viewer experience, | ||
50 | such as double-click to wear attachments in Inventory, optional | ||
51 | vertical IM tabs (in Preferences > Communication), unread IM | ||
52 | count, search inventory by creator or description, better | ||
53 | profile window layout, select default chat channel, Link/Unlink | ||
54 | in the Build window, sim avatar counts on the World Map, and | ||
55 | many more. | ||
56 | |||
57 | |||
58 | KNOWN ISSUES | ||
59 | |||
60 | * "Advanced > Logout" may cause issues and is unsupported. Use at | ||
61 | your own risk. | ||
62 | |||
63 | * If you use the "--loginuri" command line flag, you need to also | ||
64 | use "--login FirstName LastName Password" to bypass the login | ||
65 | screen, or your server setting will be ignored. | ||
66 | |||
67 | * Remaining issues from 1.2.0 beta 2: | ||
68 | |||
69 | - Property lines for land parcels flash when you have selected | ||
70 | an avatar in the minimap radar. | ||
71 | |||
72 | - Many new UI additions only provide English text. We'd love | ||
73 | to have some bilingual users help us translate them. If you | ||
74 | can help, please post in the forums. | ||
75 | |||
76 | - OpenSim 0.6.4 or lower causes the viewer to crash when other | ||
77 | avatars are present. We strongly encourage all OpenSim grid | ||
78 | operators to upgrade to OpenSim 0.6.5 or higher. | ||
79 | |||
80 | - "File > Upload & Import" should have a confirmation dialog | ||
81 | warning people about how much it will cost to upload all the | ||
82 | textures. | ||
83 | |||
84 | |||

127 | pie menu. | ||
128 | |||

148 | |||
149 | |||
150 | BUG FIXES | ||
151 | |||
152 | * Fixed RLVa not initializing in certain instances. Thanks, | ||
153 | Kitty Barnett! | ||
154 | |||
155 | * Fixed copy & paste and file selection dialogs not working for | ||
156 | some Linux users. Thanks, Jacek! | ||
157 | |||
158 | * Fixed "avatar_skeleton.xml cannot be parsed" error. You rock, | ||
159 | Lilly Zenovka! | ||
160 | |||

162 | ScriptDialogs from avatar. Thanks for the patch, Geneko | ||

169 | and Geneko! | ||

176 | |||
177 | * Set the upper limit of the chat channel selector to 1,000,000 | ||
178 | (1 million) to work around a tricky rounding bug with higher | ||
179 | channel numbers. To chat on higher channels, use e.g. | ||
180 | "/1234567890 hi" in chat. Thanks, Jacek! | ||
181 | |||
182 | * Fixed the login screen's grid selector box displaying the | ||
183 | wrong grid after logging out. Thanks, McCabe! | ||
184 | |||

186 | grid (defaulted to secondlife). Thanks, McCabe! | ||
187 | |||
188 | * Fixed grid selection box not updating the splash screen. | ||
189 | Thanks, McCabe! | ||
190 | |||

193 | Jacek! | ||

196 | Thanks, McCabe! | ||

203 | |||
204 | |||
205 | OTHER CHANGES | ||
206 | |||
207 | * Moved "File > Logout" to the Advanced menu and added a note | ||
208 | that it's unstable. Use this feature at your own risk! | ||
209 | |||
210 | * Disable camera constraints also disables constraints when | ||
211 | zooming out/zooming in and editing appearance. Thanks, | ||
212 | McCabe! | ||
213 | |||
214 | * The keyboard shortcut for View > Advanced Menu is now | ||
215 | Ctrl-Alt-Shift-D on Linux. Mac and Windows shortcuts have not | ||
216 | changed. Thanks, McCabe! | ||
217 | |||
218 | * "Go Here" in the pie menu no longer asks for confirmation. | ||
219 | Thanks, Jacek! | ||
220 | |||

222 | McCabe for porting it. | ||
223 | |||
224 | * Tweaked import menu item names: "File > Import Object..." and | ||
225 | "File > Import + Upload (L$10 per texture)". Thanks, Jacek! | ||
226 | |||
227 | * Added "File > Export Selected Objects". Thanks, Jacek! | ||
228 | |||
229 | * Disabled facelight in Appearance mode when local lighting is | ||
230 | disabled. Thanks, McCabe! | ||
231 | |||
232 | * Combined the Mute and Unmute buttons in the minimap radar. | ||
233 | Good idea, McCabe! | ||
234 | |||
235 | * Changed the snapshot postcard text not to mention Second | ||
236 | Life, like Meerkat does. Thanks to McCabe for porting it. | ||
237 | |||
238 | * Applied patch for VWR-6787 by Alissa Sabre - 'none' text in | ||
239 | group window not translatable. Thanks, Alissa! | ||
240 | |||
241 | * Added "Advanced > Allow Multiple Instances" (allow multiple | ||
242 | copies of Imprudence to run at the same time, for testing | ||
243 | purposes). Thanks, McCabe! | ||
244 | |||
245 | * Changed default UIScaleFactor to 1.002 as a workaround to | ||
246 | some font rendering issues. Thanks, McCabe! | ||
247 | |||
248 | * Updated the Linux version of fontconfig. Linux users may | ||
249 | notice some minor differences in font appearance. Thanks, | ||
250 | Jacek! | ||
251 | |||
252 | * Updated several other Linux software libraries. Thanks, | ||
253 | Jacek! | ||
254 | |||
255 | * Finally packaged up the Mac development libraries. It should | ||
256 | now be possible for (Intel) Mac users to compile Imprudence | ||
257 | if they want to. Thanks for finally tackling that, Jacek! | ||
258 | |||
259 | * Updated and fixed copyright and licensing information for | ||
260 | many software libraries. Thanks, Jacek! | ||

268 | |||
269 | |||
270 | ATTENTION: PIE MENU CHANGES | ||
271 | |||
272 | * The pie menu when right clicking on objects has been rearranged | ||
273 | slightly: | ||
274 | |||
275 | - "Buy" now appears in the first menu tier. | ||
276 | |||
277 | - "Create" has been renamed "Build" and moved to the second | ||
278 | menu tier. | ||
279 | |||
280 | - "Return" and "Wear" have new locations in the second menu | ||
281 | tier. | ||
282 | |||
283 | |||
284 | KNOWN ISSUES | ||
285 | |||
286 | * Don't use "File > Logout". It still causes lots of problems: | ||
287 | |||
288 | - Logging out causes alerts (pop-up dialogs) to not work, and | ||
289 | may even crash the viewer. | ||
290 | |||
291 | - Logging out and then logging in to another grid causes the | ||
292 | Groups window to show groups from both grids. | ||
293 | |||
294 | - In OpenSim, right clicking clothing in the inventory and | ||
295 | selecting Edit will cause a crash after logout. | ||
296 | |||
297 | - Chat sometimes shows up on the login screen after logging | ||
298 | out. | ||
299 | |||
300 | * Property lines for land parcels flash when you have selected an | ||
301 | avatar in the minimap radar. | ||
302 | |||
303 | * OpenSim 0.6.4 or lower causes the viewer to crash when other | ||
304 | avatars are present. OpenSim 0.6.6 is recommended. | ||
305 | |||
306 | * Remaining issues from the previous 1.2.0 beta version: | ||
307 | |||
308 | - Many new UI additions only provide English text. We'd love | ||
309 | to have some bilingual users help us translate them. If you | ||
310 | can help, please post in the forums. | ||
311 | |||
312 | - The custom chat channel number entry doesn't behave properly | ||
313 | for channel numbers longer than 6 digits. As a temporary | ||
314 | work-around until we fix this, use the old "/NUMBER" (e.g. | ||
315 | "/123456789 Hi") and "//" chat commands for chatting on | ||
316 | large channel numbers. | ||
317 | |||
318 | - The grid selection box on the login screen always defaults | ||
319 | to "secondlife" at startup, when it should default to the | ||
320 | most recently used grid. | ||
321 | |||
322 | - The grid selection box on the login screen always shows | ||
323 | "secondlife" after logging out, but behaves like it is still | ||
324 | set to the grid you logged out from. | ||
325 | |||
326 | - The minimap radar cannot be hidden yet. We're working on it. | ||
327 | |||
328 | - The Windlight Water settings window doesn't have | ||
329 | previous/next arrows like the Sky window does. | ||
330 | |||
331 | - The Windlight toolbar sometimes forgets the last selected | ||
332 | preset. | ||
333 | |||
334 | - "File > Import" and "File > Upload & Import" may not work | ||
335 | correctly for Mac users. | ||
336 | |||
337 | - "File > Upload & Import" should have a confirmation dialog | ||
338 | warning people about how much it will cost to upload all the | ||
339 | textures. | ||
340 | |||
341 | * Note for developers: some Linux and Mac libraries are still not | ||
342 | packaged/uploaded, which can interfere with compiling | ||
343 | Imprudence from source. Jacek is working on it! | ||
344 | |||
345 | |||
346 | CHANGES | ||
347 | |||
348 | This version of Imprudence includes the following changes (as | ||
349 | compared to Imprudence 1.2.0 beta). | ||
350 | |||

365 | again! - McCabe Maxsted. | ||
366 | |||
367 | * Fixed search showing too few results - McCabe Maxsted. | ||
368 | |||

370 | on the map) - McCabe Maxsted. | ||
371 | |||
372 | * Fixed Advanced Sky only toggling once - McCabe Maxsted. | ||

378 | appearance - Armin Weatherwax. | ||
379 | |||
380 | * Fixed grid manager adding an unnecessary "/" (forward slash) | ||
381 | to grid URLs. You should be able to login to the SL Beta | ||
382 | Grid. (You may need to go into the Grid Manager and remove | ||
383 | the "/" in the login URI, though.) - Jacek Antonelli. | ||
384 | |||
385 | * Fixed unlink button enabling when it shouldn't - McCabe | ||
386 | Maxsted and Kitty Barnett. | ||

403 | |||
404 | * Fixed (hopefully) UI resize not playing nice with the | ||
405 | Liberation Sans font - McCabe Maxsted. | ||
406 | |||
407 | * Fixed newly created notecards behaving oddly - McCabe | ||
408 | Maxsted. | ||
409 | |||
410 | * The "Add..." (add friend) button on the minimap is now grayed | ||
411 | out when you have selected someone who is already your friend | ||
412 | - McCabe Maxsted. | ||
