Ah, then I'm a little out of touch :P

I couldn't find any mention on it, so I assumed it hadn't made it anywhere and was still where it was a while ago.

The shadow branch has recently been merged into main-render-11.

As for healthy inventory sizes, I have a 12k inventory, and haven't
had any issues in over a year.
I know it can strike anytime from what I heard, but it's just my experience.

Lol,

Honestly, I don't know what the healthy number for inventory is, as no-one
has ever announced one. However I have noticed that those who complain about
inventory loss are those with (in my opinion) a very large inventory.

The dynamic shadows branch has also been around for about 6 months! So yes
the linden in question could of been very busy in his lunch hour, or on his
free time at home. He perhaps loves writing shaders and graphics code and
thus finds it fun and so devotes alot of his spare time to the shadow
experiment!

And as far as I'm aware. Shadows haven't even been announced for the main
branch, or that they are ever going to make it into the main client at all.
It's just one linden having a bit of fun seeing what he could do.

Most of the time, inventory loss isn't due to the items disappearing, but
the items never getting loaded into your inventory by the client. Large
inventory sizes suffer most from this problem I do believe. Sometimes
item's will be in your inventory and other times they won't.

Time to clear down your inventory me thinks. Then clear you cache!

the reason they ask you to clear your cache, is so it forces your client
to re-download data rather than using data it's already gathered on your
hard-drive.

As for Dynamic Shadows, I believe that's still only one lindens pet
project is it not? I haven't been able to find an RC or FirstLook viewer
that contains the shadows. Moaning about a single linden working on
Dynamic Shadows is like moaning about me working on my website in my lunch
break at work!

Jesubs people.

Loss? We Don't Have No Stinking Loss
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For over a month when I log on my inventory is a crap shoot ... it floats
between 1k and 5k short of what it should be. Finally had enough and spent
the required 4+ hours in live chat, "yes I'll clear cache" "yes I'll go
someplace quiet" "oh no problems with my network connection- that's so
good
to know" then I'm told to take everything off and clear cache again and
relog ... ok .. ok so I put everything I'm wearing, huds hair jewelry
shirt
shoes etc into a new folder in a "clothing emergency" folder ... god damn
don't you know it disappeared!!!!! honest to god - huds hair jewelry all
gone - not an effing trace..... wait, there is a trace- three live help
people can "see" the missing items but can't do a bloody thing!!!

OK! live chat has run out of stuff they can do so it's on to a support
ticket, go into great detail what has been covered, include the 4+ hours
of
chat (bulk of it was having me relog all over creation) wait the 48 hours
and get a form email extolling the virtues of clearing cache and relogging
in a quiet area.

One odd thing- a $50 usd sexgen bed unit that disappeared over a year ago
came back- so much for that round of live help back then that "couldn't
see
it" (don't judge me)

Forget memory leaks and stability issues ... inventory volatility - isn't
it
about time for dynamic shadows?
