1Release Notes for Second Life 1.20.15 July 23rd, 2008
2=====================================
3
4New features:
5* An improved architecture for the user interface (UI) which now supports:
6** Enhancements to the UI texture rendering system
7** Ability to customize text color of Instant Messages
8** Ability to reference textures by filename rather than UUID
9** Support for non-powers-of-two textures
10** Support for PNG textures
11
12* The viewer installs with a choice between two color themes ("skins") for the User Interface:
13** This can be changed in Preferences > Skins (It requires a restart of the viewer to take effect.)
14** A new "Silver" skin refreshes the visual design of user interface with a lighter color scheme and improved UI graphics
15
16* The Tools menu is now hidden by default:
17** It displays in the top menu bar ONLY when editing/creating objects in build mode:
18** To enter build mode: click on the Build button, or right-click and select Create.
19** Existing tool short cuts (CTL + 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) all still work to select a specific tool, and will also activate the Tools menu.
20
21* Improvements to Search:
22** Classified ads have a drop-down menu to indicate Mature or Not Mature content
23** Search > Popular Places is replaced by a Search > Showcase tab that points to the web-based Showcase
24** Search > Groups now uses web-based search which dramatically improves relevant matches on multi-word queries, and reduces load on the central database
25*** NOTE: The new Search > Groups does eliminate the ability to sort results alphabetically or by Group member count, as was possible in Viewer version 1.19.1.
26
27* Improved internationalization support:
28** Improved unicode system font support good Linux
29** The Preferences > General > Language: 'System Default' option works on Linux and Windows.
30*** If you have a non-English language Operating System, and have not previously selected "English" as your chosen language option in the viewer, this viewer will default to your Operating System's language!
31
32* Clicking on resident names in Local Chat or in a Group IM will open their Profile page
33** The color of clickable resident names uses the same color as URL hyperlinks in chat. These may be changed in Preferences > Text Chat > color picker for "URLs"
34
35* Newly created avatars without a gender, or any avatar where "clothing is still downloading", are rendered as a cloud rather than naked/wrong body shape
36
37* Added beta support for basic voice lipsync for voice visualization - via Advanced menu > Character > Enable Lip Sync (Beta)
38
39* Fly button is now shown as disabled when you are sitting
40
41* LSL scripting for object glow
42** A prim's glow attribute can be controlled by scripts. Additional documentation is found at http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LlSetPrimitiveParams
43
44* Improved Joystick and 3D input device support:
45** Integrated a new open source library created by 3Dconnexion designed to integrate multi-axis input devices with Second Life
46** Joystick devices can now control the Avatar, Edited Objects, or the Flycam (View menu > Joystick Flycam)
47** Added a "Joystick Setup" window to the Preferences > Input & Camera tab; for adjusting multi axis input devices
48*** The settings are currently optimized for Logitech's 3Dconnexion SpaceNavigator but should be tunable for any joystick or 3D input device
49
50* Added five texture constants for referencing in llSetLinkTexture:
51** TEXTURE_BLANK is the non-transparent blank texture, equivalent to UUID "5748decc-f629-461c-9a36-a35a221fe21f"
52** TEXTURE_DEFAULT is the default plywood texture, equivalent to UUID "89556747-24cb-43ed-920b-47caed15465f"
53** TEXTURE_PLYWOOD is the default plywood texture, equivalent to UUID "89556747-24cb-43ed-920b-47caed15465f"
54** TEXTURE_TRANSPARENT is a fully transparent texture, equivalent to UUID "8dcd4a48-2d37-4909-9f78-f7a9eb4ef903"
55** TEXTURE_MEDIA is the default Media texture, equivalent to UUID "8b5fec65-8d8d-9dc5-cda8-8fdf2716e361"
56** Note: TEXTURE_DEFAULT is a synonym for TEXTURE_PLYWOOD
57** Note on Compatibility:
58*** Scripts using these constants will run smoothly in all Second Life viewers, however previous versions of the viewer will NOT be able to edit
59 and recompile scripts using the new constants. Older versions will report "(XX,YY) : ERROR : Name not defined within scope" when trying to
60 compile such a script.
61*** If you are using an older version of the viewer that does not support the TEXTURE_ contants and want to edit and recompile scripts with a TEXTURE_ constant,
62 then you have to revert to the earlier LSL requirement to use the UUID of the texture you want to use.
63*** The TEXTURE_TRANSPARENT texture will be gray unless you view it with a viewer that supports this transparent texture (viewer 1.20.10 or above).
64
65* Thread monitoring to catch freezes for beta/Release Candidate versions of the viewer:
66** A new thread monitor (also referred to as a Watchdog) will detect when the viewer application frozen for a period greater than 20 seconds and possibly force a crash with detailed logs
67** Thread monitoring is only enabled on beta versions of the viewer, and for Windows only
68** Thread monitoring can be disabled by choosing to never report crashes, or with a command line setting "--set WatchdogEnabled 0"
69** The threshold timing of the thread monitor is set in the file /app_settings/settings.xml under the key "MainloopTimeoutDefault"

288
289KNOWN ISSUES:
290* This 1.20 Viewer will not run on a Mac PowerPC that is running Mac OS X 10.3.9. The minimum requirements for running Second Life
291is using Mac OS X 10.4.11 or higher. Please see http://secondlife.com/support/sysreqs.php for more information.
292** The 1.19.1 Viewer still supports the Mac PowerPC that is running Mac OS X 10.3.9.
293
294* There is a known issue in the 1.20 Viewer on Macs using Apple's USB Mighty Mouse and a 3DConnexion SpaceNavigator. The Mighty Mouse will be erroneously detected as a
295joystick and the primary mouse button will toggle "Flycam" with unusual behavior. Therefore the support for the 3DConnexion SpaceNavigator in Second Life does not yet
296extend to Macs using a USB Mighty Mouse.
297WORKAROUND: You must use a different mouse in order to use a 3DConnexion SpaceNavigator in Second Life without problem.
298
299* Second Life is currently unable to run under native Korean-language Windows XP if the WindowsXP username uses default Korean characters
300WORKAROUND: create a Windows XP username on this computer that uses Latin characters. We are investigating this issue!
301
302* VWR-6363: In the 1.20 Viewer, there are known issues with camera behavior and/or button-mapping behavior when using the 3DConnexion SpaceNavigator in a
303combination of "Flycam" and Build modes under some circumstances.
304
305* VWR-5749: When running Second Life in Full Screen mode on computers with some NVIDIA graphics cards, you may be unable to scroll up/down on webpages
306that are shown inworld. This includes the web-based interfaces of Search > All tab, and Search > Groups tab. We are investigating this issue.
307WORKAROUND: You must run Second Life in a window to avoid this problem. Go to Preferences > Graphics > Run Second Life in a window.
308
309* VWR-7779: On some Macs, there are reports of periodic and cyclic freezing of the computer when running Viewer 1.20.
310WORKAROUND #1: One workaround is to reduce the Draw Distance below 128m in Preferences > Graphics tab > Custom > Draw Distance (slider). Also if you have Disabled Camera Constraints
311from the Advanced menu, behavior is improved if you do not Disable Camera Constraints.
312WORKAROUND #2: One workaround that may help is to use an additional argument "-set YieldTime 20" in the Arguments.txt:
313** To set this argument, right-click (or control-click) the Second Life application and choose "Show package contents".
314** In the resulting finder window, open Resources and in there should be a file named "arguments.txt". Open in text edit, add the argument to the end of the line in there and Save.
315** Close the text edit and run Second Life application.
316** This causes the viewer to sleep for 20 milliseconds every frame. It will slow the frame rate down a little, but may help with freezing.

321New features and changes:
322
323* Physically accurate atmospheric rendering and lighting (previously code named WindLight)
324** Animateable day cycles
325** Vastly improved realistic water with reflections and glimmer
326** "Glow" as new object attribute
327** Avatar Impostoring, which can speed up crowded scenes tremendously
328** A new cleaned-up, easy to use Graphics Preferences tab with simple and advanced options for performance/quality settings
329
330* Parcel Media - adds the ability to display Web based media on a parcel
331** New API for Media Rendering
332** Enables Web content inworld
333** Added two new click actions, one for playing movies, and one for opening media
334** Embedded web browser
335** Added support for Media resizing
336
337* Estate-Level Abuse Reporting
338** Estate owners and managers now have the ability (under World > Region/Estate) to enter an email address where abuse reports will be sent.
339** If this address is empty, abuse reports will go to Linden Lab as usual. If the address is present, the abuse reports will be sent there instead. In both cases, all abuse reports are logged by Linden Lab.
340
341* Voice changes
342** Changed the default voice volume to be a bit higher, to better match the volume of in-world sounds

344
345* Improved Linux Voice support
346** Better support for USB headsets and other devices
347** Better voice audio quality
348
349* Additional rendering optimizations:
350** Faster, more reliable occlusion culling - occluded regions are discovered instantaneously, eliminating random bad frames due to the camera moving too quickly
351** No geometry transform overhead on region crossing - results in region crossings being slightly smoother
352** Faster frustum culling - less time is spent determining what's visible, thus giving better overall framerates
353** No copy-to-texture for ripple water - objects under water are rendered to texture at half resolution, resulting in better overall framerates
354** Faster sky updates - the non-WindLight (aka no-shader) skies update quicker - even faster than the pre-WindLight skies!
355** Single pass shiny when using shaders - making an object shiny will no longer require it to be rendered twice, which results in virtually free shiny functionality from a performance standpoint
356** Single pass terrain when using shaders - the terrain is no longer drawn in two passes, which, from a performance standpoint, results in virtually free high detail terrain for shader friendly cards (See the System Recommendations at http://secondlife.com/corporate/sysreqs.php)
357** Improved object update code (less work for the CPU) - attachments are no longer added to the active list, which improves performance in crowded areas
358** Better scheduling of Avatar LOD (Level of Detail) updates - Avatar LOD is now calculated every 16 frames as opposed to every single frame, which removes redundant work
359** Better Avatar culling through more accurate bounding boxes - Avatar bounding boxes now match their current animation, resulting in more optimized culling of avatars that are not visible in the frame
360** Better tree rendering (70% fewer matrix operations, no reliance on GL matrix stack) - results in improved performance for tree rendering
361** Trimmed unused state in LLDrawable, LLSpatialGroup, LLOctree, and LLFace - results in memory savings
362** 16-bit index buffers are now used instead of 32-bit buffers - improves memory bandwidth for rendering geometry
