You should + notice significantly improved viewer stability in this + version. Many thanks to our Weeklies testers and everyone else + who helped us find and fix these issues! + + * Area Object Search: You can now search for objects in the + nearby area by name, description, creator, and/or group name. + Thanks to the Emerald Viewer and Henri Beauchamp for this + feature. + + * The actions on the Minimap Radar "Estate" tab now work for + parcel owners too. Thanks, McCabe! + + * Fixed a long-standing typo that made the object cache useless + (SNOW-783). Second Life scenes will now rez much more quickly + when visiting them again. (OpenSim does not currently support + object caches.) Thanks to Andrew Linden for the tip-off. + + * Other new features: copy worn attachments, MU*-style poses, + OOC auto-close, Shift-Enter to whisper, revamped LightShare + support, and more. Read on for details! + + + KNOWN ISSUES + + * Certain audio streams and movies don't play audio, e.g. + YouTube MP4 videos. The viewer does not currently include the + necessary plugin to play the AAC audio format. We hope to + resolve this for the 1.3.0 final release. + + * The viewer does not properly detect the LLKDU image library on + some systems. We are investigating this issue. + + * The "Cancel" button is missing when the teleport screen is + disabled. + + * The Animation Override window needs to be open when standing + up from sitting on the ground in order to activate stands. + + * Tiny prims are sometimes invisible until selected. + + + 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 5. + + + FEATURES / IMPROVEMENTS + + * Re-enabled the ability to copy worn attachments in the + inventory window. Thanks to Henri Beauchamp for the patch! + + * Added optional support for MU*-style poses (":" works like + "/me") and OOC auto-close (automatically close "((" in + chat). You can enable these features in "Preferences > + Advanced". Thanks to Henri Beauchamp for these features! + + * You can now choose a clock/timestamp format in + "Preferences > General": 12-hour PST/PDT, 24-hour PST/PDT, + or UTC. Thanks, McCabe! + + * You can now whisper in chat by pressing Shift-Enter instead + of Enter. Thanks to Henri Beauchamp for this feature! + + * The viewer now plays in-world sound effects regardless of + the maturity rating of the sim. Thanks, McCabe! + + * The Map window will now let you teleport up to the maximum Z + value allowed by the grid (it was limited to 4096 meters + before). Thanks, McCabe! + + * Likewise, the minimap maximum zoom-out level is now based on + the maximum Z value allowed by the grid. Thanks, McCabe! + + * Added menu entries to take off alpha and tattoo layers (in + the Edit menu and pie menus). Thanks, McCabe! + + * Revamped LightShare support. Please see our LightShare wiki + page for more information about this feature. Thanks, Jacek! + + - More fine-grained LightShare permission control in + "Preferences > Advanced". + + - Teleporting will no longer reset Windlight to the default + settings. + + - Added the new OpenSim 0.7 names for the LightShare script + functions (prefixed with "ls" instead of "cm") to the + script editor. Thanks, McCabe! + + * Increased the maximum building grid size from 50m to 10,000m + in Advanced Build Options. Thanks, McCabe! + + * Added "Advanced > Character > Private Point At" to disable + telling other viewers where you avatar is pointing (similar + to Private Look At). + + * The Script Warning/Error window now has timestamps. Thanks, + Jacek! + + * The viewer now automatically enables joystick support on + Windows and Linux if a joystick is present. You can disable + this by setting the JoystickAutoEnable debug setting to + FALSE. Thanks, Armin! + + - Auto-enable is not available on Mac, due to an issue with + some mice being detected as joysticks. Mac users can still + manually enable joystick support in "Preferences > Input & + Camera > Joystick Setup". + + * Added "Advanced > Debug Settings" to the login screen menu. + + * Added a "File" menu to the notecard editor, with "Save", + "Import Text", and "Export Text" entries. Thanks, McCabe! + + * Improved viewer framerate slightly by setting the inventory + window title more efficiently. Thanks, Armin! + + * Added a "Select a Default Grid" popup the first time you run + Imprudence, to help users connect to the grid they want. + Thanks, McCabe! + + * You can now access the Grid Manager at any time via + "Preferences > General". Thanks, McCabe! + + * Cosmetic UI cleanup in the Advanced Build Options window, + pie menus, login screen, grid manager, event search tab, and + some notifications. Thanks, McCabe! + + * Tidied up the Advanced menu a bit. Thanks, McCabe! + + * "Limit Select Distance" has been moved from the Advanced + menu to the Advanced Build Options window. + + * Renamed "Help > Viewer Help" to "Help > Grid Help" to match + what it does. Thanks, McCabe! + + * The chat log timestamp now has a leading zero for hours less + than 10 (SNOW-629). Thanks to Ardy Lay for the patch! + + + BUG FIXES + + * Fixed a nasty crash "LLRefCount: deleting non-zero + reference" (#293).

(But, it still + affects standing up from the ground.) Thanks, McCabe! + + * Fixed your avatar's eyes looking in a weird direction when + "Advanced > Character > Private Look At" is enabled. Thanks, + Armin! + + * Fixed the "View > Web Browser" menu item not doing anything. + Thanks, McCabe! + + * Fixed several Mac compile issues. Thanks, Jacek! + + * When unable to connect, the error message now says the grid + name, instead of "Unable to connect to Imprudence". Thanks, + McCabe! + + * Fixed chat logs potentially being saved to invalid + filenames. Thanks to the Emerald Viewer for this fix. + + * Fixed a crash when trying to use a landmark after logging + out. Thanks, Armin! + + * Reduced stuttering and lag in the audio engine.
