Hello, folks.
LL developers are busily working on the 2.1 release, which you can read about
in Esbee's blog post here:
http://blogs.secondlife.com/community/technology/blog/2010/05/05/on-the-road-to-viewer-21
Some of the things we're working on, as are mentioned there, are stability and
performance. You can see the work going on in the viewer-external repository:
https://svn.secondlife.com/svn/linden/branches/2010/viewer-external
which Merov has been syncing to our internal repository on a daily basis.
I'd like to ask for your help at several levels regarding the stability and
performance patches:
* Looking in Merov's spreadsheet:
https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AgvC7hm5YZqcdHVXb05iTE0wTFc0bWptTW4tOTZuS3c&hl=en
and posting specific issues that we should be seriously considering. We'll be
doing the same, but extra opinions would be welcome.
* Looking in JIRA to see if there are any neglected patches that have been
contributed that we should be importing.
* Any new contributions you can offer.
If stability and performance conflict, stability wins. And although I know
there are plenty of desired features, this isn't about that right now -- what
I'm hoping for is some extra eyes on issues causing crashes or stalls or
slowdowns.
Please note that in all cases, we can't take patches in to the official LL
viewer where the contributor hasn't signed a contribution agreement.
If you just want to point us at particular JIRA entries, feel free to do so in
reply to this thread. If you have new code, please go through JIRA (and post a
link here!).
I'll be at my usual office hours tomorrow (Wednesday) at 8 AM Pacific in
Longfellow if you want to come talk about it.
Thanks,
Q
