When uploading an image, + select "Temporary Image (Free)" to upload it for free, but with + some caveats (see below). Thanks to the Emerald viewer for this + feature, and Armin for porting it! + + - Temporary textures are intended for testing and preview + purposes only. They exist only on the sim they are uploaded + to, will disappear from your inventory when you log off, and + may disappear from the sim when it restarts. + + * Breast Physics. By popular demand, we have ported breast + physics simulation (i.e. jiggly boobs) from the Emerald Viewer. + Thanks to Danny Nolan and the Emerald devs for creating this + feature, and Armin for porting it! + + - Currently, this feature can only be configured via Debug + Settings: EmeraldBreastPhysicsToggle (to disable/enable the + feature entirely), EmeraldBoobMass, EmeraldBoobHardness, + etc. + + * SpeedRez. After teleporting, the viewer will temporarily + decrease the draw distance to encourage nearby objects and + textures to rez first. Thanks for the patch, Henri Beauchamp! + + - You can disable this feature by setting the SpeedRez debug + setting to FALSE, or adjust the timing by editing the + SpeedRezInterval debug setting (smaller numbers restore the + old draw distance sooner). + + * Building hotkeys to cycle through prims in a link set + (SNOW-97). See the "Tools > Select Linked Parts" menu. Thanks + for the patch, Thickbrick Sleaford! + + + KNOWN ISSUES + + * Linux: The viewer may crash on some Ubuntu Karmic 64-bit + installs, most likely due to a bug in glib2. As a work around, + users affected by this issue can modify the "imprudence" launch + script to add the following code near the top of the script + (for example on the second line): + + export LL_WRAPPER='strace -o /dev/null' + + * All known issues listed for 1.3.0 beta 1 still apply to this + this version. + + + CHANGES + + In addition to the Release Highlights above, this version of + Imprudence also includes the following changes, as compared to + Imprudence 1.3.0 beta 1. + + + FEATURES / IMPROVEMENTS + + * Opening SLURLs ("secondlife://...") from another application + is now handled nicely on Linux. If Imprudence is already + running, the SLURL will open in the current instance of + Imprudence. Otherwise, it will launch a new instance of + Imprudence. Thanks, Armin! + + * The notecard editor now has Search/Replace functionality. + Thanks for the patch, Kitty Barnett! + + * The notecard editor now has an "Edit" menu. Thanks for the + patch, Henri Beauchamp! + + * The password field on the login screen now uses solid black + circles (•) instead of asterisks (*), for a cleaner look. + Thanks, Geneko Nemeth! + + * Added PrivateLookAtTarget debug setting. When enabled, the + viewer will no longer tell other users where your avatar is + looking. Thanks for the patch, Henri Beauchamp! + + + BUG FIXES + + * Fixed: Possible crash related to ShowLookAt targets. Thanks, Armin! + + * Fixed: Pie menu remains after switch to Mouselook (VWR-2425). + Thanks for the patch, Kitty Barnett! + + * Fixed: Some menu entries were missing from the Advanced menu. + Thanks, Jacek! + + - Advanced > UI > Use default system color picker + - Advanced > UI > Show search panel in overlay bar + - Advanced > UI > Show Matrices + - Advanced > XUI > Font Test... + + * Fixed: Clicking the "Advanced > UI > Double-Click Auto-Pilot" + menu entry would crash the viewer, so it has been removed. + (As of Imprudence 1.2, double-click autopilot is configured + in "Preferences > Input & Camera.) Thanks, Jacek! + + * Applied several bug fixes from Henri Beauchamp. Thanks, Henri! + + - Fixed: The viewer would sometimes crash when touching or + focusing the camera on an object that was being rezzed. + + - Fixed: The viewer did not properly use the .tga file + extension when saving textures to your computer. + + - Fixed: The viewer would sometimes crash when encountering + avatars using "extra" attachment points (multiple + attachments on the same body part). + + * Fixed: Some pop-up notifications behaved incorrectly: Build + Math Expressions help pop-ups, and the "Restore to Last + Position" warning. + + * Fixed: Several cases where the viewer could pause or freeze + when downloading textures (SNOW-196, SNOW-408, SNOW-434, + SNOW-435, SNOW-485). Thanks for the patches, Aleric + Inglewood, Merov Linden, Robin Cornelius, and Vex Streeter! + + + OTHER CHANGES + + * ELFIO has been reactivated on 64-bit Linux. It had been + disabled in 1.3.0 beta 1 as a possible fix for a crash for + some 64-bit Linux users, but the problem turned out to be + something else (see Known Issues, above). Thank, Armin! + + * Linux: You can now disable disable DBUS support by passing + the "--disableDBUS" command line option or setting the + "DisableDBUS" Debug Setting to TRUE. This is meant as a + work-around for users who crash when using DBUS. Thank, + Armin! + + * The pre-packaged 32-bit GStreamer plugins will be now be + available to GStreamer when running the 32-bit Linux build on + a 64-bit Linux system. Thank, Armin! + + * To save developers' time and effort, the ChangeLog.txt file + is now automatically generated from Git commit messages, + instead of being edited by hand.
