Beta 2024.6.5.198 is a Resonite version released on 2024/06/05.
The following notes were sent by Frooxius:
- I focused on a whole bunch of improvements with a general quality of life in this build!
- You can now configure your online status persistence! The sociable status can be configured better too.
- Earmuff has some improvements - the base shape is now a sphere sector instead of cone, which will stop users from becoming a bit louder first when you move your head away.
- There's new image import preset "Sprite" which will automatically clear out white fringes and improvement to how Pixel Art imports too.
- The startup has been optimized a bit too when you're being auto-logged in, skipping a bunch of unnecessary work, so it should be a little bit snappier.
- A whole bunch of other things have been fixed too and there were improvements to security/privacy as well.
- Hope you enjoy this build!
New Features:
- Add online status settings (based on feedback by @Shifty, @Exo / Cybrix, @Azavit, @Jack, @Zyzyl, issue #2191)
- You can configure how will your last online status will be remembered - always, if recent (with configurable amount of time) and never
- Invisible status has its own separate settings, allowing you to reset your online status on next login, unless it was set to Invisible for example
- You can specify which online status should be your default when it's not remembered
- You can also configure auto away interval - how long it takes before you're automatically switched to away due to inactivity
- Add CompoundOverrideNames & CompoundUseLongNames to data feed quantity elements and appropriate interfaces
- Add new Sprite image import preset (based on previous feedback by GreaseMonkey, @Medra and @Rucio, issue #1570)
- This automatically runs the BleedColorToAlpha on imported images, which will remove white fringes around edges
- Add ClosestPointOnSphericalSectorSurface node under Math / Geometry 3D
- This computes point on a surface of spherical sector that's closest to given other point
- It also provide if the point is inside or not
- Add DistanceFromSphericalSector node under Math / Geometry 3D
- This computes the closest distance from a point to a spherical sector
Security:
- Session thumbnails are now invalidated when session accessibilty increases (e.g. from Private to Contacts or from Hidden to non-Hidden) (based on security report by @Froppy, @Rabbuttz(あむ)/Amu and moderation team, issue #2227)
Optimizations:
- Workspaces will not run the default initialization when the user is being auto logged in
- This reduces CPU/memory/network usage at startup, due to loading the default versions of all the facets, only to be replaced shortly after by user's own saved version
Tweaks:
- Switch sociable notification configuration from boolean to full configuration (full, toast only, audio only or off) (based on request by @Azavit, @Panda, @Whip, @TheBasementNerd | Protoflux Mom, @KarasuTengu, @haz, @Shrike, @Modern, win189, issue #2189)
- If you disabled the notifications altogether, you'll need to reconfigure this (sorry)
- Multiplying string by 0 now outputs empty string, rather than the string itself (based on feedback by @art0007i, issue #2027)
- If you have setup/content that relies on the old behavior, please make an issue and we'll add update mechanism
- Change how UserAssetLoadProgress calculates aggregate info, to instead use all the users in the session, rather than ones who have already reported on the progress
- This fixes the state not being reported correctly at some times, especially immediatelly after spawning the asset (reported by @Delta, issue #976)
- PixelArt preset when importing images will now import images as uncompressed and without distortion (based on request by @code807, @Panda, @Virgil, issue #986)
- Rework Earmuff to use sphere sector instead of a cone (based on feedback by @Shadow Panther [RU/EN, UTC+1/+2], issue #1944)
- This fixes users getting slightly louder when looking slightly away from them, when they're at the edge of distance
Locale:
- Merged French locale update from @Jae “awa” J4
- Merged German locale update from @Muppeq
- Merged Chinese locale update from modimobeikete
- Merged Russian locale update from @Shadow Panther [RU/EN, UTC+1/+2]
- Merged Korean locale update from @MirPASEC
Bugfixes:
- Fix contacts with unread messages not getting sorted to the top in some cases (reported by @Panda, @Knackrack615, @epicEaston197, @Stawz, @Kulza, issue #2182)
- Fix bounds becoming infinitely sized after encapsulating an empty bounding box (reported by @Zyzyl, issue #2090)
- Setting AudioOutput to invalid audio type group will now result in the audio output being inaudible, rather than bypassing all volumes (reported by @Sloppy McFloppy, @ShadowX, issue #2014)
- Fix not being able to remove contacts that have not migrated (reported by @DrShadowfish, bobcatkill, @Jae “awa” J4 and @Flame Soulis, issue #1371)
- Fixed laser hovering at edge of view facet anchor when editing causing rapid strobing (reported by @Shifty)
- Restructure Userspace bootstrap with async method
- This fixes user sometimes being logged in local home and having their avatar loaded (reported by @epicEaston197, issue #2071)
- This also ensures that when the user is automatically logged in, this is indicated as early as possible to other systems
