Preview is back up!

1.8 is underway...
Ok you can quit running... this looks like a minor update vs the hasle of 1.7
some new script functions and stuff and modifycation to teleport to start Point to Point insted of point to telehub

You need to download from here... the updater is not seeing the new one...
http://secondlife.com/downloads/preview.php

Second Life 1.8.0(0) Dec 2, 2005
==================================
Major Features:
* Point-to-point teleportation is now available in Second Life
- Residents may teleport freely to and from locations they are allowed to access
- The landing point on a parcel is determined by the location set by the land owner with the About Land > Options > Landing Point > Set button
- If no landing point is set on a parcel, the resident will be delivered as close to the location specified on the map as possible.
- Estate owners may choose whether to allow teleport via point-to-point or Telehubs
- The Z coordinate is honored; teleporting (or logging in) to your Castle in the Sky will now put you directly there!

Minor Features:
* Ripple effect for water can now be turned on in the Graphics preference pane
- Ripple water uses the graphics card's pixel shading to create more realistic looking water
- The functionality will only be available for machines with cards supporting pixel shading
- Turning on this feature will cause viewer FPS to drop to some degree, so it is not enabled by default

Scripting Changes:

** New LSL functions:
* llMapDestination(string simname, vector position, vector lookat)
- Shows a given location on the map.
- Works in attachments, or during touch events.
- The "lookat" value is currently not in use, but will be in a later version
* llAddToLandBanList(key avatar, float hours)
- Add an avatar to the parcel ban list for the given duration.
* llRemoveFromLandPassList(key avatar)
- Remove an avatar from the parcel pass list for the given duration.
* llRemoveFromLandBanList(key avatar)
- Remove an avatar from the parcel ban list for the given duration.

** Changed LSL functions:
* llAddToLandPassList(key avatar, float hours)
- Avatars can now be added to the parcel pass list with no time limit by passing 0 as the hours parameter.

** Future LSL functions:
* llTeleportAgent(key avatar, string simname, vector position, vector lookat) (?)
- Teleport an avatar at a location (requires agent permission)

Known Issues:
* Teleport should fail if you will be routed to a telehub farther away than your destination
* Agent should be positioned at the same relative height to the ground after arrival at destination

Release Notes for Second Life 1.9.1(9) Apr 13, 2006
=====================================
Features:
* Hardware lighting
** Any primitive in Second Life may be turned into a light
*** Light properties are radius, color, intensity, and falloff
** New options in the Preference panel indicate the type of lighting you want to use
*** "Sun or Moon only" is best for low-performance hardware
**** Everything in-world is lit in real time by the sun or moon only
*** "Nearby Lights" is available for any hardware configuration
**** Everything in-world is lit by sun or moon and up to six nearby light sources
*** "All Lights" is available on systems with GPUs supporting Vertex Shaders
**** Objects in-world, and terrain, are by sun or moon and all lights
**** Avatars and attachments, trees and grass are lit by sun or moon and up to six nearby light sources
*** "All Lights + Shadows" is available only to high-performance systems
**** Includes features in "All Lights" above plus the ability for the sun and moon to cast shadows in-world and on terrain
** More information about the new lighting system is available here:
*** http://forums.secondlife.com/forumdisplay.php?f=16

* Flexible objects
** Cube, prism and cylinder primitive types can now be made flexible as a client-side effect
** Simulation parameters for material and responsiveness to gravity and wind
** Objects that are flexible cannot be physical and are always phantom
** Use of these is currently limited to preserve framerate as they increase amount of client-side processing

* Occlusion culling
** Frame rate is improved when objects that would normally be rendered are hidden from view
** FPS will be significantly improved when inside a structure
*** Windows or other transparent surfaces will decrease effectiveness as objects in view will be rendered, whether or not they are within the structure
** Toggle with CTRL-SHIFT-o on all platforms

* New "Click Action" functionality for objects
** Object creators can select a default left-click action for objects:
*** Touch (default), Sit, Buy, Pay, or Open
** These actions happen immediately when a resident left-clicks on the object, without a menu
** Builders set the action in the build tools "General" panel, at the bottom
** Click actions override touch events for scripts
*** If you want the touch behavior, be sure "touch (default)" is the click action
** You can't set "Buy" as the action unless an object is for sale
** "Sit" should be useful for both chairs and vehicles
** "Open" should be useful for vendors that sell packaged objects

* Updated functionality for the Top Scripts/Top Colliders dialog
** Improvements allow Estate owners to return or disable offending objects
*** Disabling an object makes it non-physical and disables all scripts

* Classified ads now have an auto-renew option
** Checking the "Auto renew each week" checkbox in Profile > Classifieds will cause your classified to be republished instead of expiring after one week
** You will be charged the same listing price as the initial classified
** To change the listing price, you need to make a new classified

* Universal Binary installer for Mac clients is now standard
** PowerPC and Intel Mac versions are now bundled together in one "Universal Binary" installer
** Minimum required version for Second Life is now 10.3.9

New LSL functions:

* llHTTPRequest
** Added new LSL call & event to support HTTP access from external scripts
** LSL Function usage:
*** key llHTTPRequest(string <url>, list <parameters>, string <body>)
**** Send HTTP request to <url> with <parameters> and <body>, returning key uniquely identifying the request
**** Currently, the only supported parameter is the following key/value pair: HTTP_METHOD, <method name>
** LSL Event usage:
*** http_response(key <request_id>, integer <status>, list <metadata>, string <body>)
**** Called when a pending HTTP request <request_id> completes with the HTTP <status>, <metadata> and response <body>
**** This facility supports GET, PUT and POST methods, X-SecondLife-headers, text/* MIME types, and transcoding of body contents to LSL's Unicode strings

* llGetParcelFlags
** Get the parcel flags (PARCEL_FLAG_*) for the parcel including the point pos
** Returns an integer that is a bit field of flags
** This bitfield can be ANDed with a flag to see if that flag is set for that parcel
** Usage:
*** integer llGetParcelFlags(vector pos)
** Example:
*** if (llGetParcelFlags() & PARCEL_FLAG_ALLOW_CREATE_OBJECTS) llOwnerSay("You may create objects in this parcel!");
** Bitfields:
*** PARCEL_FLAG_ALLOW_FLY
**** Used to determine if a parcel allows flying
*** PARCEL_FLAG_ALLOW_SCRIPTS
**** Used to determine if a parcel allows outside scripts
*** PARCEL_FLAG_ALLOW_LANDMARK
**** Used to determine if a parcel allows landmarks to be created
*** PARCEL_FLAG_ALLOW_TERRAFORM
**** Used to determine if a parcel allows anyone to terraform the land
*** PARCEL_FLAG_ALLOW_DAMAGE
**** Used to determine if a parcel allows damage
*** PARCEL_FLAG_ALLOW_CREATE_OBJECTS
**** Used to determine if a parcel allows anyone to create objects
*** PARCEL_FLAG_USE_ACCESS_GROUP
**** Used to determine if a parcel limits access to a group
*** PARCEL_FLAG_USE_ACCESS_LIST
**** Used to determine if a parcel limits access to a list of residents
*** PARCEL_FLAG_USE_BAN_LIST
**** Used to determine if a parcel uses a ban list
*** PARCEL_FLAG_USE_LAND_PASS_LIST
**** Used to determine if a parcel allows passes to be purchased
*** PARCEL_FLAG_LOCAL_SOUND_ONLY
**** Used to determine parcel restricts spatialized sound to the parcel

Other changes:
* Implemented atmospheric scattering 'fog' algorithm for Vertex Shaders to replace existing fog
* Performance enhancements for audio streaming
