Release Notes

General

Welcome to OpenSimulator 0.9.0.0, an open-source multi-user 3D virtual environment and metaverse server platform.

As ever, OpenSimulator is a highly complex system. Various usage scenarios (standalone, grid, hypergrid, etc.) in combination with different dependencies (e.g. different versions of mono on Linux/Mac) can sometimes produce unexpected or unstable behaviour.

If you are upgrading from a previous version of OpenSimulator, then 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.

You can download this release of OpenSimulator from Download

Pivot Release: 0.8.2.1

Due to database migration renumbering, if you are upgrading from a version of OpenSimulator prior to 0.8.2.1, then you MUST first upgrade to *0.8.2.1* and then proceed to upgrade to 0.9.0.0.


Known issues

  • For outstanding bugs please see the OpenSimulator Mantis bug tracker.

Requirements

OpenSimulator requires:

  • .NET Framework 4 when running under Windows.
  • At least Mono 2.8 when running under Mono (Linux or Mac). However, we recommend using at least Mono 2.10 as Mono 2.8.x has been reported as less stable in some situations when running OpenSimulator. Mono 3 has also been reported as working well with OpenSimulator.

Backwards Compatibility Notices

Database

Scripts

Scripts may need to be recompiled when upgrading to 0.9.0.0. If you see script errors on the server console, the best course of action is to delete the script dlls that live under the ScriptEngine folder. Note: do not delete the .state files in those folders; all other file extensions can be deleted.

Alternatively, you can set

DeleteScriptsOnStartup = true

once, then switch it back.
