[Opensim-users] Attachment weirdness on dev master

[Justin Clark-Casey]

Are these all new bugs, Chris?  Certainly, there seem to be issues for me with the new code on my local system (using LL 
3.3.4 to test), though Nebadon with Kokua on osgrid didn't seem to have too much trouble yesterday.

Some of the others strike me as more general/existing problems though, such as animation, region cross and permission 
issues.

I have put some fixes for various issues I've encountered into master so you may want to retest.  However, there are 
still some problems.  Two I encounter are that all but one of the attachments on a single spot report as being on an 
"Invalid Attachment Point" after teleport (though they still show up now and appear to be detachable just fine).  The 
other is that editing a script in an attachment to have a touch event does not make that touchable for the viewer until 
the attachment is detached and reattached (that might possibly have been the case before, though I didn't think so).

One of these fixes probably requires osgrid services to update first if you're using that.

On a more general note, I don't know what the effect is on crossing between simulators which don't have multi-attach 
(e.g. in HG mode).  Having said that, Nebadon on osgrid today didn't seem to have much trouble with this.

So you may want to stick with commit a7a9a8a just for now, though I do very much value your feedback on the bleeding edge.
