Here are a just few of the new features + and improvements since Imprudence 1.1: + + * Backup your builds, your scripts, and your avatar's shape. If + you created it, you have the right to back it up or move it to + a different grid. + + * Double-click Teleport and Autopilot. We've taken the popular + double-click teleport feature and improved upon it. The default + behavior can now be set in Preferences > Input & Camera. We've + also added an ignorable confirmation dialog to reduce the + chance of accidental teleportations. + + * Improved minimap with built-in radar. The minimap now has + enhanced zooming and panning, a built-in avatar radar to see + who is nearby, plus optional chat notices when avatars enter or + leave chat range or the sim. (Enable minimap notify in + Preferences > General.) + + * Improved OpenSim support. We've added a list of popular grids + to connect to, as well as a grid manager so you can add your + own. You can also enjoy many building benefits when using + OpenSim, such as the ability to build and edit prims larger + than 10m on a side! + + * Restrained Life support. Thanks to RLVa by Kitty Barnett, + Imprudence now supports the Restrained Life API for BDSM items + and scripted gadgets. + + * Windlight toolbar. We've added a new tab along the bottom of + the screen for quick access to your Windlight presets and + certain graphics options. We've also added a variety of + Windlight presets from Ana Lutetia, CodeBastard Redgrave, and + Torley Linden! + + * Numerous other features that improve the viewer experience, + such as double-click to wear attachments in Inventory, optional + vertical IM tabs (in Preferences > Communication), unread IM + count, search inventory by creator or description, better + profile window layout, select default chat channel, Link/Unlink + in the Build window, sim avatar counts on the World Map, and + many more. + + + KNOWN ISSUES + + * "Advanced > Logout" may cause issues and is unsupported. Use at + your own risk. + + * If you use the "--loginuri" command line flag, you need to also + use "--login FirstName LastName Password" to bypass the login + screen, or your server setting will be ignored. + + * Remaining issues from 1.2.0 beta 2: + + - Property lines for land parcels flash when you have selected + an avatar in the minimap radar. + + - Many new UI additions only provide English text. We'd love + to have some bilingual users help us translate them. If you + can help, please post in the forums. + + - OpenSim 0.6.4 or lower causes the viewer to crash when other + avatars are present. We strongly encourage all OpenSim grid + operators to upgrade to OpenSim 0.6.5 or higher. + + - "File > Upload & Import" should have a confirmation dialog + warning people about how much it will cost to upload all the + textures. + + + CHANGES + + This version of Imprudence includes the following changes, as + compared to Imprudence 1.2.0 beta 2. + + + FEATURES / IMPROVEMENTS + + * Added saving and loading scripts to disk in the script + editor. Thanks to the Meerkat team for this feature, and + McCabe for porting it. + + * Added avatar shape Import/Export. You can only export shapes + that you created and have full perms for.

Thanks to the Emerald team for this + feature, and McCabe for porting it. + + * Added new options to configure double-click teleport and + autopilot in Preferences > Input & Camera, and Disabled + double-click teleport by default.

Thanks, McCabe! + + * Set the upper limit of the chat channel selector to 1,000,000 + (1 million) to work around a tricky rounding bug with higher + channel numbers. To chat on higher channels, use e.g. + "/1234567890 hi" in chat. Thanks, Jacek! + + * Fixed the login screen's grid selector box displaying the + wrong grid after logging out.

Thanks, Jacek! + + + + + =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- + =- 1.2.0 BETA 2 -= + =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- + + + ATTENTION: PIE MENU CHANGES + + * The pie menu when right clicking on objects has been rearranged + slightly: + + - "Buy" now appears in the first menu tier. + + - "Create" has been renamed "Build" and moved to the second + menu tier. + + - "Return" and "Wear" have new locations in the second menu + tier. + + + KNOWN ISSUES + + * Don't use "File > Logout". It still causes lots of problems: + + - Logging out causes alerts (pop-up dialogs) to not work, and + may even crash the viewer. + + - Logging out and then logging in to another grid causes the + Groups window to show groups from both grids. + + - In OpenSim, right clicking clothing in the inventory and + selecting Edit will cause a crash after logout. + + - Chat sometimes shows up on the login screen after logging + out. + + * Property lines for land parcels flash when you have selected an + avatar in the minimap radar. + + * OpenSim 0.6.4 or lower causes the viewer to crash when other + avatars are present. OpenSim 0.6.6 is recommended. + + * Remaining issues from the previous 1.2.0 beta version: + + - Many new UI additions only provide English text. We'd love + to have some bilingual users help us translate them. If you + can help, please post in the forums. + + - The custom chat channel number entry doesn't behave properly + for channel numbers longer than 6 digits. As a temporary + work-around until we fix this, use the old "/NUMBER" (e.g. + "/123456789 Hi") and "//" chat commands for chatting on + large channel numbers. + + - The grid selection box on the login screen always defaults + to "secondlife" at startup, when it should default to the + most recently used grid. + + - The grid selection box on the login screen always shows + "secondlife" after logging out, but behaves like it is still + set to the grid you logged out from. + + - The minimap radar cannot be hidden yet. We're working on it. + + - The Windlight Water settings window doesn't have + previous/next arrows like the Sky window does. + + - The Windlight toolbar sometimes forgets the last selected + preset. + + - "File > Import" and "File > Upload & Import" may not work + correctly for Mac users. + + - "File > Upload & Import" should have a confirmation dialog + warning people about how much it will cost to upload all the + textures. + + * Note for developers: some Linux and Mac libraries are still not + packaged/uploaded, which can interfere with compiling + Imprudence from source. Jacek is working on it! + + + CHANGES + + This version of Imprudence includes the following changes (as + compared to Imprudence 1.2.0 beta). + + + BUG FIXES + + * Fixed mouseclicks sometimes "jumping" near the edge of the + screen in Windows - McCabe Maxsted. + + * Fixed crash when using the Minimap and the silver skin - + McCabe Maxsted. + + * Fixed Imprudence 1.2 features missing from the silver skin - + McCabe Maxsted. + + * Fixed Imprudence wrongly thinking it was on the Teen Grid. + You can now freely wear, edit, and/or take off your underwear + again! - McCabe Maxsted. + + * Fixed search showing too few results - McCabe Maxsted. + + * Fixed inability to teleport to Adult regions (or detect them + on the map) - McCabe Maxsted. + + * Fixed Advanced Sky only toggling once - McCabe Maxsted. + + * Fixed first preset in Windlight Toolbar toggling Advanced Sky + - McCabe Maxsted. + + * Fixed crash when logging out of OpenSim after editing + appearance - Armin Weatherwax. + + * Fixed grid manager adding an unnecessary "/" (forward slash) + to grid URLs. You should be able to login to the SL Beta + Grid. (You may need to go into the Grid Manager and remove + the "/" in the login URI, though.) - Jacek Antonelli. + + * Fixed unlink button enabling when it shouldn't - McCabe + Maxsted and Kitty Barnett. + + * Fixed inability to unlink when using edit linked parts - + McCabe Maxsted. + + * Fixed money change sound and dialog occurring after logging + into different grids - McCabe Maxsted. + + * Fixed name box missing from profiles - McCabe Maxsted. + + * Fixed profile account label position - McCabe Maxsted. + + * Fixed profile size overrunning search window - McCabe + Maxsted. + + * Fixed UI resize missing reset button in Preferences > General + - McCabe Maxsted. + + * Fixed (hopefully) UI resize not playing nice with the + Liberation Sans font - McCabe Maxsted. + + * Fixed newly created notecards behaving oddly - McCabe + Maxsted. + + * The "Add..."
