Release Notes

This is a minor bug-fixing release for 0.7.

If you are upgrading from a version prior to 0.7, make sure to read the 0.7 Release notes. There have been extensive changes in OpenSimulator from 0.6.x to 0.7.

Changes from 0.7

• Changed the way HG client verification is done: now transforming local and LAN client IPs into external IPs. This addresses some issues related to running both the user agents service and the viewer in the same machine/LAN, which then presents a problem when the user agent goes to an external network.
• Fixed remote calls within Robust for HG.
• Implemented console command "show hyperlinks"
• Improved the 4096 check for grids
• Made the 4096 check configurable
• Fixed a nasty bug in the http server related to Accept headers. Doesn't really fix the underlying issue, this is just a hack on the code over which we have control upon
• Small fix for child prim movement. This still doesn't address limiting link distance, but at least it makes the UI and LSL match.
• Removed obsolete default variables from the Configger tool
• Eliminated one opportunity for exceptions related to Animator part of SP
• Added "SearchURL" to the [LoginService]. Some viewers now understand this
• Enabled GridInfo service for standalones, which had been accidentally left off

Configuration Changes

• New config var under [UserAgentService] section: GatekeeperService. Requires attention from ppl running grids with Robust.HG.ini. Compare with new Robust.ini.example. Everyone else can ignore.
• New config var under [GridService]: Check4096. Optional. (See Installing and Running Hypergrid#Checking the 4096 Regions Limit.)
• New config var under [LoginService]: SearchURL. Optional.
• New config section in StandaloneCommon.ini: [GridInfoService]. Optional.
