ImpDev Meetups/2009-09-22

Summary
ImpDev Meetup for September 22, 2009.


 * We're going to try to release 1.2 RC this week, ideally by Thursday, then full release next Wednesday.
 * McCabe has been merging in some more stuff: increased sculpty level of detail, avatar counts on world map, Aimee's minimap improvements, and others.
 * We need to check that the new features respect RLVa settings. Avatar radar and windlight toolbar tab, for example.
 * McCabe is going to work on making the avatar scanner toggleable (hideable).
 * Windlight toolbar tab will be enabled by default so people will notice it. It can be turned off in Preferences > Graphics if desired.
 * McCabe asked about whether to include Torley's 240 windlight presets. We're going to wait and decide that after 1.2. Users can download them manually for now.
 * Armin asked about the value of uploading animations in LL binary format (which some viewer can do?). The only real purpose of that seems to be ripping off cached animations, so we're not going to bother.
 * McCabe asked about Emerald's viewer detection feature (detecting which viewers other people are using). We're going to wait until after 1.2 to decide about that.
 * Jacek is going to set aside the improved login manager for now, since it wouldn't be done in time without sacrificing quality. She'll just polish the Meerkat version a bit for 1.2, then revisit the improved version for 1.3.
 * Jacek will polish and test the object backup feature, especially making sure perm checks are right.
 * We're going to move Show HUD Attachments back to the View menu and restore its keyboard shortcut, in response to user feedback.
 * Kick ass.
