Open Sim Development Week Ending Saturday Nov. 29, 2008

This week in OpenSim ( r7439 – r7546) development

General news

• At the time of this post we are running r7543

Features & bug fixes

• Melanie made the link order of a linkset persist over server restarts (r7474).
• justincc made a change such that on a border crossing, a flying avatar should now no longer sometimes shift back to a standing position in midair.  However, the flicker and slowdown of the avatar on the region crossing still remains – I believe these are separate problems (r7487).
• nlin contributed a patch that implements autopilot (r7495).
• Melanie worked on improving attachments behaviour (r7542).
• Diva contributed a patch that significantly improves teleporting (r7541).

Infrastructure

• Melanie worked on improving presence notifications in the face of region restarts or crashes.
• Homer continued work on improving Friends/Presence handling.
• justincc started work on extracting inventory code to separate classes from the scene presence.
• justincc continued work on unit test infrastructure for scene object testing.
