I was having a chat at some ungodly hour of Sunday night with Delicia Whipsnaps Inara Pey about Linden Lab’s lack of shouting from the rooftops about what they’re doing. Examples that sprang to mind were the new privacy controls on parcels that allow you to make yourself invisible to outsiders and outsiders invisible to yourself, numerous bug fixes, Mesh allowing you to halve the number of prims you’re using in terms of prim equivalency (or land impact as it will soon be known) when you link them, 64 x 64 meter prims and how Vanderbilt University School of Nursing have been using Second Life as a training faciltity which is a really good use case for Second Life and one Linden Lab should be highlighting.
Linden Lab are getting on with a lot of things behind the scenes, a cursory glance at the Server deployment forum shows this week’s release includes:
- Adding additional metric collection information
- LSL enhancements to catch and prevent shape changes that would cause a return
- Support for calculating Resource Weights and Land Impact for all objects
- Several crash fixes
- Region/parcel crossing fixes
- Miscellaneous fixes
- llCastRay() enabled.
