The Lab believes 75% of users could enable ALM and have reasonable performance. Last stats say a little less than 30% have it enabled, as of last check. So, I would guess we are 4 to 6 weeks out on Group Bans becoming operational. In week 28 Baker will talking with TPV Dev’s about that, provided things go well… and may be even if not so well. We hear that viewer side changes will be needed to address the new Group Ban features. As of last Friday, Baker has completed all his other work and is now officially assigned to work on Group Bans as his primary task. This is a project of which Baker Linden has been on and off. Only those with keen hindsight can do that after the fact. Of course the same thing happens when users get the beta version. The TPV Dev’s often find bugs or problems the Lab’s Dev’s did not see or think of. But, without the TPV Dev’s having had a chance to see the code, that could fall apart. The repo is expected to go public and an Interest List Beta Viewer to appear in week 28. So, third party viewers have not been able to get to that code. Interest List changes are still in a private repository.
#Phoenix viewer 4.4.2 update#
However, the Lab does say they will be looking at that latest update and deciding if it is of benefit to SL. No one is sure when the Lab will move on to the latest Vivox release. So, even when we get ‘our’ latest Vivox update in SL we will be one update behind. Nor will there be any server rolls next week… this week… sheeesh! Week 27 or 6/30 to 7/6.Īccording to Vivox they have another update coming out. So, the new viewer pipeline will NOT go active until week 28. That pipeline is ready to go but still inactive because of the 4 th of July holiday a no-change window is in effect. That will go into a viewer once the new viewer pipeline is in motion.
Once we got the system to redo the composite texture, which was difficult for some reason, everything cleared up.įor those testing SSA ADITI is currently up to date and the AGNI SSA test region is behind.Of course that can change at any time. It was exceptionally confusing because the corruption carried over to other viewers and users seeing it. But, it was only the composite baked appearance texture in the old viewer side baking that got corrupted. With some testing we figured out a viewer side bake fail was causing what looked like an asset corruption.
#Phoenix viewer 4.4.2 skin#
This SUN-74 is the bug where the viewer kills a skin texture on the asset server. It took some time to establish that it was NOT a SUN-74 repeat. Late Friday a FS Dev and I were having heart attacks over SUN-74 in Firestorm 4.4.1. So, my guess is we won’t see them until week 29 and probably later. Those changes are not to the point they can be released to users… meaning in this case beta viewers. It is known there are problems and minor fixes to the Sunshine Project (of which SSA is a part) needed along with some features to be added.
If there are problems, then it will be slowed down. So, we may well see this feature on a 100% of the grid in the week 7-13 or week 28. Once the stats show a sufficient level of viewer adoption and if the loading from the test regions matches with prior testing, we will likely see the feature move across the grid rather quickly. Now it is just a matter of throwing a switch in each region to enable it.
#Phoenix viewer 4.4.2 software#
The software was rolled across the grid a short time ago. Regions in the release channels will start being enabled first. The entire grid is not going to see SSA hit in one swoop. That adoption rate will likely affect the SSA release date. A new report is being built that will advise Lindens on how quickly SSA enabled viewers are being adopted. The Lab is experimenting with a new internal statistics system. If you have not yet updated to 4.4.1, avoid the rush and do it now. The Lab is expecting it may be on the 8 th or 9 th.įirestorm and Phoenix users will see a huge notice on the viewer’s splash screen that they need to update. Server Side Appearance (SSA baking) is planned for the release the week of July 7-13. That is unlikely to be in Firestorm’s 4.4.2 release. One of those has to do with Ambient Occlusion on large objects. There are fixes for problems in Materials System that are in the pipeline. Firestorm 4.4.1 does not have Materials yet but, 4.4.2 is nearing release and will have materials. Cool VL Viewer and Niran’s Black Dragon have Materials. The third party viewers are picking up the project and adding it to their viewers. As you know the Materials System has been released by the Lab.
