Release Notes/Second Life RC BlueSteel/10

"Encroachment" project: 2011-01-05
Bug Fix / Feature
- Ability to return objects that overlap ("encroach") on a parcel.
  Depends on future viewer modifications. More details on how this works (here).

"Compression" project deployed: 2010-12-08
Features
- Compress region crossing data
  Avatar data is compressed when moving/TPing from one region to another. This should decrease the amount of time it takes to move between regions.
  
  This feature will be disabled at initial deploy, and enabled via a config change later.
Bug Fixes
- SVC-6556: Avatar and the ship sails attached to the avatar do not rez beyond 80 meters
- Simulator crash fixes

"Linkability" project deployed: 2010-11-17
Bug Fixes
- SVC-5687: llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast does visually not work without delay
- Objects underground should not be returned to inventory.

Bug Fixes:
- Simulator crash fix
- Internal tools updates relating to content management

Features:
llSetPrimitiveParams([PRIM_ROT_LOCAL, rotation])
- Correct child prim rotations are now easier to achieve.
- This is an implementation of the feature request SVC-129 and an alternative fix for SVC-93
Server-side support for experimental "SimConsole"
- Requires viewer-side updates as well, which are not yet widely available.
- See Beta_Server_Office_Hours/Minutes/2010-10-07 for details.

Bug Fixes:
SVC-6063: Object doesn't appear in Inventory when taken while frozen by grey goo fence
Simulator does not preserve static objects' CRC values upon restart
This makes objects have to re-download after a sim restart, instead of pulling from cache.
Faster terrain collisions
Simulator crash fix

Bug Fixes
- SVC-6368: llRequestAgentData DATA_ONLINE - intermittent failure
- Simulator crash fixed
- Simulator restart failure fixed
  This caused regions to be down for extended periods of time during the previous rolling restart

Features
- Enable tcmalloc-1.6 by default to help with memory and performance debugging.
- Simulator disk operations moved into threads for performance reasons.
Bug Fixes
- SVC-583: Five minute wait due to "System Logging You Out" happens every time when wearing scripted attachments.
- Several stuck presence issues resolved.

Bug Fixes:
- Simulator crash modes
- Improvements to the Region Conductor
  This helps down regions come back up more quickly.
- Modifications to deploy tools to support Release Candidates
