First, let me just state upfront that I have no idea what interface numbers mean. I haven't used them, and since there have been no releases, I'm not sure what these numbers mean. Is this the grid-wide interface number? If so, HG compatibility is correlated with it, but but HG involves a lot more than intra-grid comms and needs its own numbering. So far, there have been no HG interface numbering yet. Likely to change soon.

All the work that you are talking about is happening in developers code. Developers code often has bugs. That was probably the case here.

otakup0pe did a serious cleanup of service addressing in on his own repo, which wasn't that much exposed to testing. I then took his changes and merged them to master. Additionally, before I merged his code, I did a few more things to HG related to the preservation of creator information -- that was the reason why the configs changed.

As is often the case, otakup0pe's code wasn't perfect, there were a few bugs that were exposed as I and others started testing, so they were corrected. I'm sure my own changes may still have a few buglets. If you happen to be running a revision that has those bugs -- too bad, things will likely fail.

In general, when ppl test developers code, you *must* expect that things will *not* work. Many times things break by accident, and we fix them a few revisions later; other times they break on purpose, and that's when we warn people.

When things are supposed to work, and don't, that's a bug. Please report bugs as usual! -- but using revision numbers, not these interface numbers. Thanks!

We understand that there is incompatibility between the old HG 1.0 and the more secure HG1.5.

As I understand it there was a change in some data base entries from "interface 6 to interface 7" which also meant that HG 1.5 i6 versions and before were incompatible with HG i7 and later. At least it was observed that HG 1.5 i7 girds could interwork, and those could not work with HG 1.5 i6 ones. Is that correct Diva, or is that just the assumption that was made by some seeking to diagnose HG jump issues?

But now in testing recent versions with recent config changes for HG, there may be further incompatibility with previous HG 1.5 i7 grids, or it could be that they are just not yet properly configured. It would be helpful if Diva could let us know if an incompatib8klity to earlier HG1.5 i7 grids is known, =and what release version in 0.7.1 dev master is the cut off point to have as a minimum upgrade level to be compatible again. If there is an incompatibility, it cold be useful to have a way to refer to this new partition of the hypergrid compatible grids.

I am happy to continue testing if anyone wants to check out what is happening, or to try to identify the issues in recent versions of OSGrid with lack of HG jump capability. Some of the testing being done, and the grids known to work under the new versions and that can be used to test are listed at http://opensimulator.org/mantis/view.php?id=5259

Grids that are known to work (via a chatted link) two way when on latest 0.7.1 dev master are on our Openvue grid, and a test region that Diva set up at UCI...
