Second Life Preview 1.10 Release Notes[]

On May 15th, 2006, Version 1.9.1 was reversioned to version 1.10. If you're looking for changes before May 15th for this version, see the version 1.9.1 release notes.


Build 26, May 15, 2006[]

There are lots and lots of new features in 1.9.1...so many, in fact, that folks asked why this new release doesn't count as a major version increase.

Based on resident feedback, we've changed 1.9.1 to 1.10.0, effective as of this release. Please continue to report bugs, and continue to come play in Second Life Preview!

Second Life Release 1.10 Release Notes[]

1.10.0(32) May 24, 2006[]

Features[]

  • Hardware lighting
    • Any primitive in Second Life may be turned into a light
      • Light properties are radius, color, intensity, and falloff
    • New options in the Preference panel indicate the type of lighting you want to use
      • "Sun or Moon only" is best for low-performance hardware
        • Everything in-world is lit in real time by the sun or moon only
      • "Nearby Lights" is available for any hardware configuration
        • Everything in-world is lit by sun or moon and up to six nearby light sources
    • More information about the new lighting system is available here:
  • Flexible objects
    • Cube, prism and cylinder primitive types can now be made flexible as a client-side effect
    • Simulation parameters for material and responsiveness to gravity and wind
    • Objects that are flexible cannot be physical and are always phantom
    • Use of these is currently limited to preserve framerate as they increase amount of client-side processing
  • Occlusion culling
    • Frame rate is improved when objects that would normally be rendered are hidden from view
    • FPS will be significantly improved when inside a structure
      • Windows or other transparent surfaces will decrease effectiveness as objects in view will be rendered, whether or not they are within the structure
    • Toggle with CTRL-SHIFT-o on all platforms
  • New "Click Action" functionality for objects
    • Object creators can select a default left-click action for objects:
      • Touch (default), Sit, Buy, Pay, or Open
    • These actions happen immediately when a resident left-clicks on the object, without a menu
    • Builders set the action in the build tools "General" panel, at the bottom
    • Click actions override touch events for scripts
      • If you want the touch behavior, be sure "touch (default)" is the click action
    • You can't set "Buy" as the action unless an object is for sale
    • "Sit" should be useful for both chairs and vehicles
    • "Open" should be useful for vendors that sell packaged objects
  • Updated functionality for the Top Scripts/Top Colliders dialog
    • Improvements allow Estate owners to return or disable offending objects
      • Disabling an object makes it non-physical and disables all scripts
  • Classified ads now have an auto-renew option
    • Checking the "Auto renew each week" checkbox in Profile > Classifieds will cause your classified to be republished instead of expiring after one week
    • You will be charged the same listing price as the initial classified
    • To change the listing price, you need to make a new classified
  • Universal Binary installer for Mac clients is now standard
    • PowerPC and Intel Mac versions are now bundled together in one "Universal Binary" installer
    • Minimum required version for Second Life is now 10.3.9
  • The Login screen now features a box to select the region to log into
    • This has the same effect as using a SLURL to log into a region


New LSL functions[]

  • llHTTPRequest
    • Added new LSL call & event to support HTTP access from external scripts
    • LSL Function usage:
      • key llHTTPRequest(string <url>, list <parameters>, string <body>)
        • Send HTTP request to <url> with <parameters> and <body>, returning key uniquely identifying the request
        • Currently, the only supported parameter is the following key/value pair: HTTP_METHOD, <method name>
    • LSL Event usage:
      • http_response(key <request_id>, integer <status>, list <metadata>, string <body>)
        • Called when a pending HTTP request <request_id> completes with the HTTP <status>, <metadata> and response <body>
        • This facility supports GET, PUT and POST methods, X-SecondLife-headers, text/* MIME types, and transcoding of body contents to LSL's Unicode strings
  • llGetParcelFlags
    • Get the parcel flags (PARCEL_FLAG_*) for the parcel including the point pos
    • Returns an integer that is a bit field of flags
    • This bitfield can be ANDed with a flag to see if that flag is set for that parcel
    • Usage:
      • integer llGetParcelFlags(vector pos)
    • Example:
      • if (llGetParcelFlags() & PARCEL_FLAG_ALLOW_CREATE_OBJECTS) llOwnerSay("You may create objects in this parcel!");
    • Bitfields:
      • PARCEL_FLAG_ALLOW_FLY
        • Used to determine if a parcel allows flying
      • PARCEL_FLAG_ALLOW_SCRIPTS

        • Used to determine if a parcel allows damage
      • PARCEL_FLAG_ALLOW_CREATE_OBJECTS

      • PARCEL_FLAG_USE_ACCESS_GROUP
        • Used to determine if a parcel limits access to a group
      • PARCEL_FLAG_USE_ACCESS_LIST
