Release Notes
General
These notes are still being drafted
Welcome to OpenSimulator 0.7.3.1, an open-source multi-user 3D virtual environment server platform.
This is a minor point release from OpenSimulator 0.7.3. It contains a number of minor fixes on top of OpenSimulator 0.7.3.
As ever, OpenSimulator is a highly complex piece of alpha software. It's very likely but not guaranteed to work and various usage scenarios (standalone, grid, hypergrid, etc.) in combination with different dependencies (e.g. different versions of mono on Linux/Mac) can produce unexpected or unstable behaviour. If it breaks you get to keep both pieces.
If you are upgrading from a version prior to 0.7.x, make sure to read the 0.7 Release notes. There have been extensive changes in OpenSimulator from 0.6.x to 0.7.
When you are upgrading, we strongly recommend that you start off with the default configuration files and port over any changes you made to your older version of OpenSimulator.
As this is a wiki page, please feel free to update it with more information about migration or other issues as and when these come to light.
You can download this release of OpenSimulator from http://opensimulator.org/wiki/Download
Known issues
- Sometimes creating body parts or clothing fails with no error message. This is not consistent - work around is simply to try again.
- In a stock Linden Lab viewer 2/3, various tabs and buttons will point back to the Linden Lab website. In particular, the profile data will try to fetch from the Linden Lab website. It's not known currently how/whether this can be changed in the stock viewer.
- No form of prim equivalence is implemented for meshes.
- Loading scripts from the simulator library does not work properly.
- Multiple attachments on a single attachment point not supported. However, in viewers which do support multiple attachments, the enforcing of a single attachment on the simulator end should be much smoother.
Requirements
OpenSimulator requires:
- .NET Framework 3.5 when running under Windows.
- At least Mono 2.4.3 when running under Mono (Linux or Mac). Mono 2.6.x and Mono 2.10.x onwards work well. Mono 2.8.x versions are reported as less stable in some situations.
Changes
Database
- The MSSQL database plugin has been updated to support telehubs.
- The MSSQL database plugin has fixes for friends lookups.
- The MSSQL database plugin now supports Hypergrid-style item creator storage.
NPC
- The osNpcLoadAppearance() now correctly creates NPC attachments. This was a regression in 0.7.3 compared to 0.7.2.
