[Opensim-users] osslEnable.ini do not work.

[Gwyneth Llewelyn]

Note that this change is not trivial. Most macros that I’ve got on the osslEnable.ini file still use {XEngine} as opposed to {OSSL}. As I tinkered around with this, ultimately I got a completely useless configuration and could not revert it back — even getting rid of macros and explicitly writing out all permissions did not work. As a consequence, I had to go back to the last stable version — just to find out that my tinkered configuration is now broken beyond repair :-) and I have to basically check each line by itself…

BTW, this is not a complaint, just a warning — I’m actually quite curious about the work being done on the YEngine and wonder how that will work out in the end.

One solution for the eventual release of this change is to have the INI parser accept, for a while, both configuration type directives (especially for those who will continue to use XEngine), but perhaps this is not feasible...
