ImpDev Meetups/2012-04-16

Summary
ImpDev Meetup for April 16, 2012.


 * Crash problems with Kokua mesh upload on Linux 64 bit.
 * Armin has not much spare time for viewer coding, but when he does he puts stuff into his teapot fork of Kokua, for ease of us to pick it up.
 * We should remove the Easter eggs. Onefang had already done that for his fork, so will do that for Impy.
 * No sound fixes for Impy beta 3, but they are tagged for beta 4.
 * Armin points out that there is a way that should fix up some Windows sound issues, passes URL to onefang.
 * The Showcase search tab is not in V3 search tab, no one thinks it's in V3. It's likely just on the login splash screen.
 * The grid supplies the login splash screen.
 * Showcase is not in OpenSim by default, but 3rd RG at least has implemented it, proven to be working.
 * So we can keep Showcase tab in Impy, disable it for SL, and not worry about Kokua.
 * Onefang is informed that the team decided at the last Kokua meeting to not bother signing up for Havok. Onefang is pleased.
 * Onefang will take the estate WindLight code Armin wrote, patch it into Impy, write a UI for it, then try to make most of Rev's problem code go away.
 * Onefang will put his 4096 sim long jump workaround fix into Impy beta 3, then later keep refining it until the bug is solved.
 * Kokua (and thus V3) is confiremd to still have the 4096 sim long jump bug, so we should be able to port onefangs workaround / fix to Kokua.
 * McCabe will ask 3rd RG admins to get in touch with onefang about avatar rezzing issues they are having that onefang has not seen.
 * ZATZAi should chase up Codie about the offer to host our web stuff.
 * People agree onefangs semi automated experimental release plan is a good idea, to be researched and implemented.
 * Boroondas will keep working at making Impy compilable with gcc 4.6. Apparently Singularity has had that done.
 * Not known at the moment if Kokua has the same gcc 4.6 problems, but it was noted that it seemed to mostly affect old code.
 * Last agenda item skipped, needed ZATZAi's input, he was not there.
 * Some discussion about mesh for Impy. Onefang has his experimental mesh branch on his Impy fork, showed photos.
 * Onefang plans on implementing mesh, (and other V3 type things like multiple attachments) for Impy 1.5.
 * Onefang uses a different approach that he describes as "mesh done right", than LL, but realises that most of that will have to be disabled when logging onto SL, leaving only the SL mesh support.
 * For now, onefang is concentrating on getting Impy 1.4 beta 3 out, with just the Windlight stuff he was working on before and some more simple bug fixes.
 * Impy 1.4 will have only the existing bugs fixed, no new features.
 * Onefang says OTR should go in to, it's quite stable, well tested, and been in use in his fork for along time.
 * McCabe has some stuff he will push into Impy before beta 3 is released.
 * Mostly inventory links. Onefang will delay the release for that, as it will likely take him that long to finish the other beta 3 stuff.
 * Impy 1.4 beta 3 to be released in about one months time, give or take.
 * Really though, it's out when onefang and McCabe are done with their respective current sub projects.

Agenda Items

 * What to do about Showcase? (onefang)
 * Follow up to the Havok licensing discussion for those that missed it. (onefang)
 * BTW, I heard about that discussion, but it's not been posted yet, so I've not actually read it.
 * Go over those agenda items from the Impy meetup that was cancelled, but that are relevant to Kokua to. (onefang)
 * http://redmine.kokuaviewer.org/issues/1137 if it affects Kokua to. (onefang)
 * Follow up on the purchase of a Mac we discussed last time. (onefang)
