117** If a button has an orange highlight, Enter will press it
118* Ctrl-W closes the currently-focused floater
119* Ctrl-[ and Ctrl-] now move through preferences tabs
120* Esc closes menus, then defocuses floaters, then resets the camera position

133* Hitting TAB when nothing has focus goes to chat bar, if available

143** Type-ahead find is visually indicated with an oblong highlight.
144* Type-ahead find cycles through the items in a list or combo that have the same first letter
145** Example: repeatedly typing 'r' will put selection on each element of the list that starts with 'r'
146* 'Cone of context' for color pickers and texture pickers

148* Storage of last focused item in floaters, so that focusing a floater puts focus back where it was last time you were using it
149* Mini-map can't take focus, nor can camera/movement controls
150* Have to double-click on the mini-map to open the main map
151* Mousewheel zooms on the mini-map, and the scale limits allow you to zoom in more

968** 'Take Off' removes ONLY worn items in the folder
969* Region/Estate and About Land now feature the option 'Restricted Pushing'
970** When pushing is restricted, only the following calls of llPushObject will succeed on the land:
971*** Any push called against the owner of the scripted object
972*** An object owned by the landowner
973*** An object deeded (or Set) to the same group the land parcel is deeded (or Set)
974** Region/Estate edits this setting on a per-region basis, not per-estate

1027Release Notes for Second Life 1.11.0(9) July 19, 2006
1028=====================================
1029Features:
1030* Zoomable UI
1031** The entire UI can be scaled (including in-world text, manipulators, etc) by a user-supplied scale value (Preferences->Graphics->UI Size)
1032** When running fullscreen, the additional option 'Use resolution independent scale' should ensure that the UI looks the same at all resolutions
1033** Additionally, changing to a resolution with a different aspect ratio than your monitor's aspect ratio should not result in any squashing or stretching of your display
1034* Improved Snapshot functionality
1035** When taking a snapshot, the world will freeze in place and the snapshot will be previewed over the entire screen (but under UI elements)
1036** The camera tool will be active by default, allowing you to click and drag to move the camera around while objects/avatars/etc are frozen in place, without having to hold down ALT
1037** You can also change snapshot parameters (resolution, JPEG compression level) and the snapshot will update on the fly
1038** Any time the camera moves or a parameter is changed, the existing snapshot will 'drop' away and be replaced by a new one
1039** You can also take snapshot of arbitrary resolution, up to 6000x6000
1040*** Be aware that the larger the snapshot is, the more system resources are needed to create it -- you can potentially run out of memory and crash if taking very large snapshots on a low-end system
1041* Eyedropper tool
1042** Added the ability to pick colors and textures from objects in view (and that you own) inside the color picker and texture picker
1043** When depressed, the button changes the mouse cursor and activates a 'pipette' or 'eyedropper' tool
1044** The user can then click on another object in world to grab the texture/color of the face that they clicked
1045* Gestural pie menus
1046** Pie menus now provide a gradually faded border when the right mouse button is down to suggest that you can use them by moving the mouse in a given direction, which is faster and easier than clicking on a pie wedge directly
1047** Also, pie sub-menus can be accessed with gestures, making it possible to chain gestures together to perform any operation in the pie menu by memory
1048* Tear-off menus
1049** Added ability to click on a double line at the top of any menu or sub-menu and pin it in place on the UI as a 'floater'
1050** All of the menu items should still work, as well as branching menus, etc.
1051** Closing the floater will make it disappear
1052** Accessing a detached menu via its parent menu will bring the floating menu to the foreground, but not reposition it
1053
1054Other changes:
1055* Usability changes to Find/Search menu
1056** 'Find' has been renamed 'Search' in the Toolbar, Edit menu, Directory window, and F1 Help
1057** Search is still opened with the keyboard shortcut Ctrl-F
1058** Searches defaults to 'Show Mature Content ON' for sims, parcels, events, classifieds, etc.
1059** The 'Name' column for each listing of returned search results is now wider.
1060** The second column for each listing of returned search results (i.e. Dwell, Price, etc.) has its font size reduced to make additional space
1061* Improved text field support for INSERT key
1062* 'Avatar' ruler mode has been changed to 'Attachment' ruler mode
1063** Attachment rotations in 'Attachment' ruler mode are relative to the attach point instead of the root of the avatar
1064** This should make adjusting attachments easier without using 'pose stands'
1065* Ctrl-tab moves keyboard focus between UI floaters
1066* Tab key moves focus to the toolbar if nothing else has focus
1067* Dragging an inventory item over the scrollbar allows you to directly scroll the inventory window
1068* Hitting Enter when the chat line is blank will close the chat bar
1069

1160* Each resident's profile now includes a field revealing whether the resident has provided payment information to Linden Lab.

1266** Click actions override touch events for scripts
1267*** If you want the touch behavior, be sure 'touch (default)' is the click action

1269** 'Sit' should be useful for both chairs and vehicles
1270** 'Open' should be useful for vendors that sell packaged objects
1271
1272* Updated functionality for the Top Scripts/Top Colliders dialog
1273** Improvements allow Estate owners to return or disable offending objects

1298*** http_response(key <request_id>, integer <status>, list <metadata>, string <body>)
1299**** Called when a pending HTTP request <request_id> completes with the HTTP <status>, <metadata> and response <body>
1300**** This facility supports GET, PUT and POST methods, X-SecondLife-headers, text/* MIME types, and transcoding of body contents to LSL's Unicode strings
