ImpDev Meetups/2009-09-15

Summary
ImpDev Meetup for September 15, 2009.


 * Viewer recompile/link time could be improved a lot by refactoring and splitting up nhe newview code into related chunks.
 * Jacek has just gotten past a mental block with the login manager feature. She is making progress on it now, but expects it to keep her occupied until the end of the month, so she has asked for help with testing and fixing bugs on the other features.
 * If Jacek can't get the login manager stuff done by the end of the month, we can ship with Meerkat's grid manager interface as a temporary solution. This would be preferable to delaying the release.
 * McCabe has been enhancing the avatar scanner/radar with some features from Dale Glass's implementation.
 * McCabe has also fixed nearly all of the bugs in the Windlight toolbar tab.
 * Double-click in-world teleport should have an optional confirmation dialog.
 * McCabe has upped the bandwidth settings: default 1000, max 5000 (kbps?). Jacek thinks settings that high probably don't actually help much for most people, but doesn't object to raising them.
 * We may want to implement the adult_compliant code (see links), depending on how long we think it will be before version 1.3 (with SL 1.23 base) is released.
 * We may want to upgrade the version of OpenJPEG we are using. Jacek doesn't want to do this for 1.2, though, because it could delay things too long.
 * Things still seem on track to release by the end of the month, although the login manager might be a close call. If worst comes to worst, we'll just use Meerkat's interface for 1.2, then finish our version for 1.3.
