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.

61 CHANGES

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!

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!

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!
