[Opensim-dev] OpenSim Inventory Archives (IARs) feature now experimentally available in OpenSim trunk

[Justin Clark-Casey]

Hi folks,

Today I moved the OpenSim Inventory Archive (IAR) feature to experimental status 
in bleeding edge trunk, as of revision 5a64ca on 14th September 2009 (post 0.6.6).

IARs are the user inventory equivalent of OARs - they allow you to load and save 
inventory folders and items offline to restore to other OpenSim installations or 
as backup.  Full inventory backup for individual users can done, though 
restoration is a little awkward right now.

Please see

and

http://justincc.org/blog/2009/09/14/introducing-opensim-inventory-archives-iars/

for instructions.

This is an experimental feature and is bound to have bugs.  So Mantis reports 
would be much appreciated.  Suggestions for improvement are also welcome - the 
best place to leave them just at this early stage may be as blog post comments 
since I'm bound to see those.

Best Regards,
