Thanks to the + Snowglobe devs for creating it, and Armin and Jacek for porting + it! + + * Imprudence's code base has been updated to Second Life 1.23.5. + That means Imprudence has gained most of the new features and + bug fixes from SL 1.23. Thanks to Linden Lab for writing it, + and to Jacek, McCabe, and Armin for their hard work merging it! + Thanks also to Lilly Zenovka for her assistance. + + * Optional legacy pie menus. Enable "Preferences > General > Use + legacy pie menus" to switch to a pie menu layout similar to SL + 1.22 and earlier. Thanks, McCabe! + + * Clothing layer protection and client identification from + Meerkat/Emerald. See the Client Identification page on our wiki + for information about these features. Thanks to the Meerkat and + Emerald teams for creating them, and Armin for porting them! + + + KNOWN ISSUES + + * Imprudence may crash on Linux when changing "Antialiasing" or + "Anisotropic Filtering" in "Preferences > Graphics > Hardware + Settings". + + - This is a known bug in SL 1.23 (VWR-13286). We will try our + best to fix it. + + - As a work around, you can open "Advanced > Debug Settings", + modify RenderFSAASamples (antialiasing) and + RenderAnisotropic (anisotropic filtering), then restart the + viewer. + + * The "View > Web Browser" menu entry does not work. + + * Legacy pie menus always appear in English, even if you are + using another language. + + * The "File > Import + Upload" menu item's price always says + "L$10 per texture", even when uploads are actually free, such + as on OpenSim. + + + CHANGES + + In addition to the Release Highlights above, this version of + Imprudence also includes the following changes, as compared to + Imprudence 1.2.1. + + + FEATURES / IMPROVEMENTS + + * You can now type in an optional message when paying L$ to a + Resident (SNOW-436, formerly VWR-9597). The message will + appear in that Resident's transaction history online. Thanks, + Jacek! + + - The layout for the Pay Resident and Pay Object windows + have been cleaned up, too. Thanks, Jacek! + + * You can now adjust numerical sliders with the mouse wheel. + Position the mouse pointer over a slider (e.g. sound volume, + draw distance, etc.) and scroll the mouse wheel up and down. + Thanks, Armin! + + - You can change the direction and speed by editing the + SliderScrollWheelMultiplier debug setting. Thanks, Jacek! + + * In the IM window, the "Profile" button now has a drop-down + menu with "Pay" and "Offer Teleport" options. Thanks, McCabe! + + * User profiles now have a "Copy Key" button to copy that + user's key (agent UUID) to your clipboard. You can then paste + it into a script, for example. Thanks, McCabe! + + * Color chooser widgets now display opacity in a way that makes + sense. Thanks, Geneko Nemeth! + + * The Script editor's Help menu now has a link to the + Autoscript scripting helper, to help generate . + + * You can now drag-and-drop inventory items anywhere on + someone's profile to send them. In Imprudence 1.2, you had to + drag to specific area in the bottom right corner. Thanks, + McCabe! + + * There is now a new debug setting to save inventory scripts as + Mono (SNOW-378). If you enable SaveInventoryScriptsAsMono in + Debug Settings, new scripts that you create in your inventory + will default to Mono. Thanks, Henri Beauchamp! + + * You can now set a custom "world search" URL to use instead of + SL's search pages. See "Preferences > Web > World Search". + This is mostly useful for users of third-party grids. We hope + to provide per-grid search URLs in the future. + + + BUG FIXES + + * Fixed the login screen not allowing login names longer than + 16 letters. It now allows up to 31 letters per name, like it + should. + + * Fixed #155: Double clicking your avatar triggers a TP + request. Thanks, Armin! + + * Fixed #184: Opening notecards resets the camera. Thanks, + Armin! + + * Fixed #197: Windlight toolbar can't be hidden. Thanks, Jacek! + + * Fixed VWR-4232: Some particles don't disappear when UI is + hidden. Thanks, Admiral Admiral and Mm Alder! + + * Fixed VWR-14267: Clicking send in an IM window does not add + the sent text to the line editor history. Thanks, Aimee + Trescothick! + + * Fixed VWR-14278: Gesture auto-completion adds uncommitted + suggestions to the line editor history. Thanks, Aimee + Trescothick! + + * Fixed VWR-11172: A source coding mistake prevents number-pad + keys from specifying Ctrl+digit shortcuts on Windows. Thanks, + Alissa Sabre! + + * Fixed VWR-14475: Load from XML is broken. Thanks, Admiral + Admiral and Mm Alder! + + * Fixed VWR-15310: Save to XML doesn't set proper XML tags. + Thanks, Admiral Admiral and Mm Alder! + + * Fixed SNOW-376: Clean up handling of the maximum length of + chat messages. Thanks, Admiral Admiral and Mm Alder! + + * Fixed SNOW-413: Potential null pointer exception in + multi-slider control. Thanks, Admiral Admiral and Mm Alder! + + * Fixed SNOW-488: Malformed animation crash. Thanks, Robin + Cornelius! + + * Fixed SNOW-492: LLDataPacker::unpackstring() is unsafe. + Thanks, Robin Cornelius! + + * Fixed a rare crash from textures with too many components. + (This has only been observed in the Lbsa Plaza sim on OSGrid, + so far.) Thanks, Armin! + + + OTHER CHANGES + + * To help protect our users' privacy, the viewer no longer + sends "ViewerStats" to Linden Lab's servers. This was a + feature of the SL viewer which would collect and send various + pieces of information to Linden Lab without the user's active + consent. Thanks, Patrick Sapinski! + + * The Linux (32 and 64 bit) builds are no longer distributed + with Pango or GDK-PixBuf, due to a number of bugs that was + causing. Linux users should install the following on their + systems: + + - Pango 1.26 (or compatible), including freetype support. + + - GTK+ 1.16 (or compatible) + + * The "Notify when Linden dollars (L$) spent or received" + checkbox has been moved to "Preferences > Popups". Thanks, + McCabe! + + * Removed unnecessary XUI files from the Silver skin. This + helps keep the UI layouts of both skins in sync. Thanks, + McCabe! + + * There have been numerous changes and improvements to the + viewer compile system and software libraries. Thanks to + Armin, Jacek, McCabe, and Patrick Sapinski, and the Snowglobe + devs! + + + + + =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- =- 1.2.1 -= =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -- cgit v1.1
