From 8399f9ab21bd8bc694951ee71fd4b7f3aec76b8b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jacek Antonelli Date: Wed, 6 Oct 2010 22:30:31 -0500 Subject: Updated RELEASE_NOTES.txt for 1.3.0 final. --- RELEASE_NOTES.txt | 193 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 193 insertions(+) diff --git a/RELEASE_NOTES.txt b/RELEASE_NOTES.txt index 42231d6..4a097ea 100644 --- a/RELEASE_NOTES.txt +++ b/RELEASE_NOTES.txt @@ -4,6 +4,199 @@ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- + =- 1.3.0 -= + =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- + + + RELEASE HIGHLIGHTS + + * Numerous bug fixes and stability improvements. + + + CHANGES + + In addition to the Release Highlights above, this version of + Imprudence also includes the following changes, as compared to + Imprudence 1.3.0 RC3. + + + IMPROVEMENTS + + * The Windows version can now use "large memory addresses" on + systems that support it (such as 64-bit Win7). This allows + the viewer to take full advantage of systems with lots of + memory. Thanks to Ansariel Hiller for the tip, and McCabe + for implementing it! + + * The "Start Location" box is now shown on the login screen by + default. You can turn it off with "Preferences > General > + Show start location at login screen". Thanks, McCabe! + + * Fonts now use only integer (whole number) sizes, which should + alleviate blurry font rendering for many users. Thanks, Jacek! + + + BUG FIXES + + * Fixed the Second Life Terms of Service page not loading, and + therefore not allowing the user to agree or log in. Thanks, + Thickbrick Sleaford and Elektra! + + * Fixed the viewer crashing when opening a landmark you just + received. Thanks, Elektra! + + * Fixed "Rez objects using land group" not applying the land + group when duplicating an already-rezzed object. + Thanks, Henri Beauchamp! + + * Possibly fixed the viewer getting stuck in an infinite loop + while verifying the texture cache at startup. Thanks, Jacek! + + * Fixed the "Showcase" tab in Search showing the wrong page. + Thanks, McCabe! + + * Fixed the "Reset to default" button in Debug Settings not + updating cached settings (SNOW-796). Thanks, Aleric Inglewood! + + * Mac: Fixed (again) the compile process not using the correct + version of libjpeg. Thanks again, Nemurimasu Neiro! + + * Fixed some compile errors when using the Mac OS X 10.6 SDK + (SNOW-231, SNOW-220). Thanks, Mimika Oh and Aimee Trescothick! + + * Fixed a compile error when using g++ 4.4.x (SNOW-422). + Thanks, Aleric Inglewood! + + + OTHER CHANGES + + * The "High resolution snapshot" setting is no longer saved + between sessions. This was causing users to get stuck in a + cycle where a high resolution snapshot would crash the + viewer, but the setting couldn't be disabled without opening + the snapshot window, which would take a snapshot and crash + the viewer again. Thanks, McCabe! + + * Added some snapshot-related safety checks and a few changes + backported from Viewer 2. These should help alleviate some + common snapshot-related crashes. Thanks, McCabe! + + * "Help > About Imprudence" no longer lists the Second Life + viewer version that it was based on. Imprudence is assembled + from many different sources and versions, so that + information is not really accurate or relevant. + + + + =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- + =- 1.3.0 RC3 -= + =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- + + + RELEASE HIGHLIGHTS + + * Imprudence now uses the Droid Sans font by default, instead of + Liberation Sans. Thanks, Jacek! + + * A new "Fonts" tab has been added to Preferences, where you can + select from four included fonts: Droid Sans, DejaVu Sans, + Delicious, and Liberation Sans. More flexible font controls + are planned for a future version. Thanks, Jacek! + + * Imprudence now loads world map image tiles using HTTP when + available. This improves the map loading speed on platforms + that support it (e.g. Second Life). Thanks for the patch, + Henri Beauchamp! + + * Added the UseLegacyChatLogsFolder debug setting. If set to + TRUE in Advanced > Debug Settings, Imprudence will save chat + and IM logs in the old (non-grid-specific) location, as it + did prior to 1.3.0 RC2. Thanks, McCabe! + + * Many bug fixes. + + + CHANGES + + In addition to the Release Highlights above, this version of + Imprudence also includes the following changes, as compared to + Imprudence 1.3.0 RC2. + + + BUG FIXES + + * Windows: Reverted to a previous version of the cURL library. + This should fix many reported problems of not being able to + log in or connect to servers (DNS errors, etc.). However, + it may make HTTP texture fetching less stable. + + * Fixed inventory search results resetting "randomly" + (actually whenever someone whose calling card is in your + inventory logged on or off) (#455). Thanks to Codie and our + users for identifying the cause, and McCabe for fixing it! + + * Fixed the "Make Outfit" feature crashing the viewer when + used on OpenSim (#240). Thanks, Armin! + + * Fixed a crash when opening "About Landmark" from the + right-click menu in inventory. Thanks, McCabe! + + * Fixed a crash related to a HUD attachment pointer becoming + NULL after a bad teleport. Thanks, McCabe! + + * Mac: Imprudence now uses its own "bundle identifier". This + should fix issues with OS X thinking that Imprudence is the + official Second Life viewer. Thanks to Solo Mornington for + the tip! + + * Mac: Fixed the compile process not using the correct version + of libjpeg. Thanks, Nemurimasu Neiro! + + * Fixed a typo that broke localization of the + "NoFileExtension" alert. Thanks, Nemurimasu Neiro! + + * Fixed/improved how GStreamer-related environment variables + are set on Mac and Windows. Thanks, Nemurimasu Neiro! + + * Mac: Fixed libFLAC missing from the manifest when compiling. + Thanks, Nemurimasu Neiro! + + * Linux (64-bit): Fixed the compile process not downloading + the 32-bit libraries required for voice chat. Thanks, Armin! + + * Fixed (hopefully) a font rendering crash. Thanks, McCabe! + + * Fixed a potential crash when receiving invalid "LookAt" + messages from the sim. Thanks, Armin and Nemurimasu Neiro! + + * Fixed a potential crash related to an uninitialized pointer + in LLVoiceClient (#515). Thanks, Makomk Makosen! + + + OTHER CHANGES + + * Draw Distance Stepping (aka SpeedRez) is now disabled by + default, to avoid confusion. You can turn it on with + "Preferences > Advanced tab > Increase rez speed via draw + distance stepping". + + * Silenced debug log spam "LLInventoryPanel::buildNewViews + called with objectp->mType == ... (shouldn't happen)" when + you have inventory links in your inventory. + + * HTTP texture fetching is now considered "experimental" due + to a number of unresolved texture loading issues. + + * Removed the keyboard shortcut for "Advanced > Rendering > + Object-Object Occlusion" (Ctrl-Shift-O). That shortcut is + being used for the Animation Overrider instead. + + * The default UI scale is now 1.0 instead of 1.002, which was + a workaround for an old font rendering bug.
