11 | KNOWN ISSUES | ||
12 | |||
13 | * When you try to quit after having logged out at least once, the | ||
14 | viewer may crash (Linux & Mac) or not quit (Windows). As a | ||
15 | work-around (particularly for Windows users), we recommend not | ||
16 | using "File > Logout" until this has been fixed. | ||
17 | |||
18 | * Many new UI additions only provide English text. We'd love to | ||
19 | have some bilingual users help us translate them. If you can | ||
20 | help, please post in the forums. | ||
21 | |||
22 | * The custom chat channel number entry doesn't behave properly | ||
23 | for channel numbers longer than 6 digits. As a temporary | ||
24 | work-around until we fix this, use the old "/NUMBER" (e.g. | ||
25 | "/123456789 Hi") and "//" chat commands for chatting on large | ||
26 | channel numbers. | ||
27 | |||
28 | * The grid selection box on the login screen always defaults to | ||
29 | "secondlife" at startup, when it should default to the most | ||
30 | recently used grid. | ||
31 | |||
32 | * The grid selection box on the login screen always shows | ||
33 | "secondlife" after logging out, but behaves like it is still | ||
34 | set to the grid you logged out from. | ||
35 | |||
36 | * The minimap radar cannot be hidden yet. We're working on it. | ||
37 | |||
38 | * The Windlight Water settings window doesn't have previous/next | ||
39 | arrows like the Sky window does. | ||
40 | |||
41 | * The Windlight toolbar sometimes forgets the last selected | ||
42 | preset. | ||
43 | |||
44 | * "File > Import" and "File > Upload & Import" may not work | ||
45 | correctly for Mac users. | ||
46 | |||

48 | CHANGES | ||
49 | |||
50 | This version of Imprudence includes the following changes (as | ||
51 | compared to Imprudence 1.1.0). | ||
52 | |||
53 | |||
54 | VERSION HIGHLIGHTS | ||
55 | |||
56 | * Object Backup. You can now download objects that you have | ||
57 | created and have full permissions for to your computer, and | ||
58 | upload them back into the world (or another grid). Thanks to | ||
59 | the Meerkat Viewer for developing this feature, and to Armin | ||
60 | for helping us import it! | ||
61 | |||
62 | * Grid Manager. You can now modify the list of grids available | ||
63 | at the login screen. We have further plans for extending this | ||
64 | feature, but this will serve for now. Thanks to the Hippo | ||
65 | Viewer and Meerkat Viewer for this, and to Armin for helping | ||
66 | import it! | ||
67 | |||
68 | * Restrained Life support. Imprudence now provides optional | ||
69 | support for the Restrained Life API (used by BDSM items and | ||
70 | various scripted gadgets). Enable it with "Advanced > | ||
71 | Restrained Life Support". Many thanks to Kitty Barnett for | ||
72 | developing RLVa and working with us to integrate it into | ||
73 | Imprudence! | ||
74 | |||
75 | * Radar. The minimap now features a list of nearby avatars. | ||
76 | Thanks so much, McCabe and Dale Glass! | ||
77 | |||
78 | * Emerald features. We've imported a variety of features from | ||
79 | the Green Life Emerald Viewer. Thanks to the Emerald folks | ||
80 | for developing these, and McCabe for importing them! | ||
81 | |||
82 | - "Advanced > Asset Browser" (Alt-Shift-A). Visual browser | ||
83 | for textures in your inventory. | ||
84 | |||
85 | - "Advanced > Animation List". Lists the animations you are | ||
86 | playing, and allows you to selectively stop them and revoke | ||
87 | animation permissions from scripted objects. | ||
88 | |||
89 | - "Advanced > Phantom Avatar" (Ctrl-Alt-P). Prevents your | ||
90 | avatar from being pushed, but also prevents you from | ||
91 | moving. | ||
92 | |||
93 | - "Advanced > Ground Sit" (Ctrl-Alt-S). Makes your avatar sit | ||
94 | down at your current location. | ||
95 | |||
96 | - Build tool shows objects' Last (previous) Owner. | ||
97 | |||
98 | - When viewing your own profile, the Profile window indicates | ||
99 | which of your groups are hidden. | ||
100 | |||
101 | - You can now search your inventory by Creator name. | ||
102 | ("Search" menu in the Inventory window.) | ||
103 | |||
104 | - You can now double-click on a location in the 3D world to | ||
105 | teleport there. | ||
106 | |||
107 | - Added "BlockClickSit" debug setting. Set it to true to | ||
108 | prevent yourself from sitting on things when you accidently | ||
109 | click on them. | ||
110 | |||
111 | - Particle chat, which sends a message on channel 9000 when | ||
112 | you select an object, for enhanced integration with | ||
113 | scripted objects. You can disable this feature by changing | ||
114 | the "ParticleChat" setting to False in "Advanced > Debug | ||
115 | Settings". | ||
116 | |||
117 | |||
118 | BUILDING | ||
119 | |||
120 | * You can now choose which kind of grass or tree to rez. | ||
121 | Before, it always rezzed a random kind. Thanks to Mana Janus | ||
122 | for this! | ||
123 | |||
124 | * Added "Link" and "Unlink" to the pie menu for objects. | ||
125 | Thanks, McCabe! | ||
126 | |||
127 | * Added "Link" and "Unlink" buttons to the Build window. | ||
128 | Thanks, McCabe! | ||
129 | |||
130 | * Several changes to the main menus. Thanks, McCabe! | ||
131 | |||
132 | - "Edit > Duplicate" is now in the Tools menu. | ||
133 | |||
134 | - Moved the selection-related options in the Tools menu to a | ||
135 | new submenu, "Tools > Selection Options". | ||
136 | |||
137 | - The "Tools > Select Tool" submenu has been renamed to | ||
138 | "Choose Tool" to avoid confusion with the Selection | ||
139 | Options. | ||
140 | |||
141 | - "Tools > Set permissions on selected task inventory" has | ||
142 | been renamed to "Set Bulk Permissions". | ||
143 | |||
144 | * "Advanced > Rendering > Selected Texture Info" now displays | ||
145 | partial UUIDs for the textures. Thanks to Henri Beauchamp and | ||
146 | McCabe for developing this! | ||
147 | |||
148 | * Added "Tools > Selection Options > Hide Selection Outline" | ||
149 | (VWR-6918). This can help make it easier to see when editing | ||
150 | small objects, and improves performance when selecting a | ||
151 | large number of prims. Thanks a bunch, Aimee Trescothick! | ||
152 | |||
153 | |||
154 | MAP & MINIMAP | ||
155 | |||
156 | * The minimap has many improvements. Our enduring gratitude to | ||
157 | Aimee Trescothick for these! | ||
158 | |||
159 | - Enhanced zoom behavior and range. | ||
160 | |||
161 | - It can be panned with Shift-Click and drag. (Right click | ||
162 | the minimap and disable "Center on Camera" if you want to | ||
163 | stop it from moving back automatically.) | ||
164 | |||
165 | - Hovering the mouse over someone's dot on the minimap will | ||
166 | show their name in the tooltip. Right click on a dot and | ||
167 | choose "Profile" to open that person's profile window. | ||
168 | |||
169 | - Window layout converted to XUI under the hood. | ||
170 | |||
171 | * But wait — the minimap has other improvements, too. Thanks to | ||
172 | McCabe for these! | ||
173 | |||
174 | - Muted avatars are colored gray in the minimap. | ||
175 | |||
176 | - Added "Show World Map" to the minimap right-click menu. | ||
177 | |||
178 | - Moved "Rotate Mini-Map" to the minimap right-click menu. | ||
179 | |||
180 | * The World Map displays the number of avatars in each sim, | ||
181 | above the sim's name. That's pretty handy, Jacek and McCabe! | ||
182 | |||
183 | |||
184 | MISC. UI | ||
185 | |||
186 | * The Communicate window title and "IM Received" popup button | ||
187 | now show the number of unread IMs you've received. Nice work, | ||
188 | McCabe! | ||
189 | |||
190 | * The "About Land" window displays the L$/sqm cost for land for | ||
191 | sale. Thanks to Linden Lab for this feature in SL 1.23. | ||
192 | |||
193 | * The Resident chooser now has a "Near Me" tab with a list of | ||
194 | nearby people (VWR-2681). Thanks to Matthew Dowd, Vadim | ||
195 | Bigbear, and Coco Linden for developing this feature. | ||
196 | |||
197 | * Double clicking an object in your inventory wears it (or | ||
198 | detaches it, if you are already wearing it). Thanks to | ||
199 | Nicholaz Beresford and Henri Beauchamp for developing this! | ||
200 | |||
201 | * Quick access to Windlight presets and draw distance from the | ||
202 | toolbar. You can toggle this in "Preferences > Graphics > | ||
203 | Show environment control in toolbar" (a checkbox near the top | ||
204 | right corner of the window). Nice work, McCabe! | ||
205 | |||
206 | * When listening to audio streams, song info is output to your | ||
207 | chat window. You can toggle this in "Preferences > Audio & | ||
208 | Video > Show stream info in chat" (a checkbox about halfway | ||
209 | down the window). Thanks to Dale Glass for developing this | ||
210 | feature! | ||
211 | |||
212 | * IM windows inform you when the other person has gone on or | ||
213 | offline even if you have turned off "Show online Friend | ||
214 | notifications". That's pretty handy, McCabe! | ||
215 | |||
216 | * Added "View > Advanced Menu" to toggle the Advanced menu. | ||
217 | Thanks, Armin! | ||
218 | |||
219 | * The layout of the Profile window has been revamped. Thanks, | ||
220 | McCabe! | ||
221 | |||
222 | * In the Local Chat window, you can now click the name of | ||
223 | objects that IM you to view information about the object and | ||
224 | its owner. Thanks to Linden Lab for developing this in SL | ||
225 | 1.23. | ||
226 | |||
227 | * The Snapshot window can now be minimized. It's the little | ||
228 | things, McCabe! | ||
229 | |||
230 | * The Windlight sky settings window now has arrow buttons for | ||
231 | quickly changing to the previous or next preset in the list. | ||
232 | Thanks, McCabe! | ||
233 | |||
234 | * "Show HUD Attachments" has been moved back to the View menu, | ||
235 | and its shortcut (Alt-Shift-H) has been restored. It was | ||
236 | moved to the Advanced menu and lost its shortcut in | ||
237 | Imprudence 1.1. Thanks to mashaeilde on the forums for giving | ||
238 | us feedback about this! | ||
239 | |||
240 | * You can now select a default channel number to chat on, for | ||
241 | interacting with scripted devices. Turn on "Preferences > | ||
242 | Text Chat > Show custom chat channel" (a checkbox near the | ||
243 | bottom of the window), then set the channel using the new | ||
244 | number entry field on the chat bar. Channel 0 is normal chat, | ||
245 | all other channels are only seen by scripts. You can still | ||
246 | chat to other channels using "/1", etc. Thanks to the Emerald | ||
247 | Viewer for the inspiration, and to McCabe for the | ||
248 | implementation! | ||
249 | |||
250 | |||
251 | OTHER | ||
252 | |||
253 | * Imprudence 1.2 has been rebased to SL 1.22.11. Previous | ||
254 | versions of Imprudence were based on SL 1.21.6. Thanks, | ||
255 | Jacek! | ||
256 | |||
257 | * Ability to logout without quitting and restarting the viewer | ||
258 | (File > Logout). Thanks to the Meerkat Viewer for this! | ||
259 | |||
260 | * Several bundled software libraries have been updated to new | ||
261 | versions: | ||
262 | |||
263 | - Gstreamer, Zlib and Iconv on Windows. Thanks, McCabe! | ||
264 | |||
265 | - OpenJPEG on Linux. Thanks, Armin! | ||
266 | |||
267 | * The login screen displays the awesome Imprudence logo while | ||
268 | the login page is still loading, instead of that smelly old | ||
269 | SL logo. Way to go, McCabe! | ||
270 | |||
271 | * Linux-style middle mouse paste on Linux viewers. Thanks, | ||
272 | Armin! | ||
273 | |||
274 | * The maximum bandwidth setting has been raised to 5000kbps, | ||
275 | and the default set to 1000kbps. Thanks, McCabe! | ||
276 | |||
277 | * Added several new windlight settings by CodeBastard Redgrave, | ||
278 | Ana Lutetia, and Torley Linden. Thanks, Codie, Ana, and | ||
279 | Torley! | ||
280 | |||
281 | * Added the adult_compliant capability, for teleport | ||
282 | compatibility with Linden Lab's adult content policy. Thanks | ||
283 | for providing a patch for this, Linden Lab! | ||
284 | |||
285 | * Added two patches (VWR-11128 and VWR-11138) to support Visual | ||
286 | Studio Express. Thanks, Robin Cornelius! | ||
287 | |||
288 | |||
289 | BUG FIXES | ||
290 | |||
291 | * "Stop All Animations" (aka "Stop Animating My Avatar") only | ||
292 | affected your own viewer; other people would still see your | ||
293 | avatar being animated (VWR-2850). Thanks to Tofu Linden for | ||
294 | fixing that in SL 1.23. | ||
295 | |||
296 | * The Resident chooser was showing hair instead of calling | ||
297 | cards. Thanks for fixing that, McCabe! | ||
298 | |||
299 | * "View > Communicate" wasn't toggling the Communicate window | ||
300 | like it was supposed to. Thanks for fixing it, McCabe! | ||
301 | |||
302 | * Small textures weren't being cached (VWR-12686). Thanks for | ||
303 | fixing that, Robin Cornelius! | ||
304 | |||
305 | * Certain malformed animations could cause the viewer to abort | ||
306 | with an assertion about the joint number. Thanks to Linden | ||
307 | Lab for fixing this in SL 1.23. | ||
308 | |||
309 | * The chat history window couldn't be minimized. Thanks, | ||
310 | McCabe! | ||
311 | |||
312 | * The Contacts window couldn't be toggled with "Edit > Friends" | ||
313 | (Ctrl-Shift-F) if it was detached from the Communicate window | ||
314 | (VWR-5370). Thanks to Latif Khalifa for making the patch to | ||
315 | fix that! | ||
316 | |||
317 | * When trying to attach multiple objects at once from your | ||
318 | inventory, it would fail with a message, "Cannot complete | ||
319 | attachment. An Attachment is pending for that spot". Many | ||
320 | thanks to Kitty Barnett for fixing that awful bug! | ||
321 | |||
322 | * Teleporting very long distances on OpenSim Hypergrid would | ||
323 | sometimes cause weird issues (SVC-2941). Thanks to Mana Janus | ||
324 | for the fix! | ||
325 | |||
326 | * Avatars would be invisible until you zoomed in on them (in SL | ||
327 | 1.22). Thanks for the patch to fix this, Aleric Inglewood! | ||
328 | |||
329 | * Special symbols in group titles were appearing as question | ||
330 | marks in avatar name tags. McCabe fixed the heck outta that | ||
331 | one! | ||
