1064* Improved Snapshot functionality
1065** When taking a snapshot, the world will freeze in place and the snapshot will be previewed over the entire screen (but under UI elements)
1066** 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
1067** You can also change snapshot parameters (resolution, JPEG compression level) and the snapshot will update on the fly
1068** Any time the camera moves or a parameter is changed, the existing snapshot will 'drop' away and be replaced by a new one
1069** You can also take snapshot of arbitrary resolution, up to 6000x6000
1070*** 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
1071* Eyedropper tool
1072** Added the ability to pick colors and textures from objects in view (and that you own) inside the color picker and texture picker
1073** When depressed, the button changes the mouse cursor and activates a 'pipette' or 'eyedropper' tool
1074** The user can then click on another object in world to grab the texture/color of the face that they clicked
1075* Gestural pie menus
1076** 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
1077** 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
1078* Tear-off menus
1079** 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'
1080** All of the menu items should still work, as well as branching menus, etc.
1081** Closing the floater will make it disappear
1082** Accessing a detached menu via its parent menu will bring the floating menu to the foreground, but not reposition it
1083
1084Other changes:
1085* Usability changes to Find/Search menu
1086** 'Find' has been renamed 'Search' in the Toolbar, Edit menu, Directory window, and F1 Help
1087** Search is still opened with the keyboard shortcut Ctrl-F
1088** Searches defaults to 'Show Mature Content ON' for sims, parcels, events, classifieds, etc.
1089** The 'Name' column for each listing of returned search results is now wider.
1090** The second column for each listing of returned search results (i.e. Dwell, Price, etc.) has its font size reduced to make additional space
1091* Improved text field support for INSERT key
1092* 'Avatar' ruler mode has been changed to 'Attachment' ruler mode
1093** Attachment rotations in 'Attachment' ruler mode are relative to the attach point instead of the root of the avatar
1094** This should make adjusting attachments easier without using 'pose stands'
1095* Ctrl-tab moves keyboard focus between UI floaters
1096* Tab key moves focus to the toolbar if nothing else has focus
1097* Dragging an inventory item over the scrollbar allows you to directly scroll the inventory window
1098* Hitting Enter when the chat line is blank will close the chat bar

1295** Builders set the action in the build tools 'General' panel, at the bottom
1296** Click actions override touch events for scripts
1297*** If you want the touch behavior, be sure 'touch (default)' is the click action

1299** 'Sit' should be useful for both chairs and vehicles
1300** 'Open' should be useful for vendors that sell packaged objects
1301
1302* Updated functionality for the Top Scripts/Top Colliders dialog
1303** Improvements allow Estate owners to return or disable offending objects
1304*** Disabling an object makes it non-physical and disables all scripts
1305

1328*** http_response(key <request_id>, integer <status>, list <metadata>, string <body>)
1329**** Called when a pending HTTP request <request_id> completes with the HTTP <status>, <metadata> and response <body>
