Release Notes for Second Life 1.11.0(9) July 19, 2006
=====================================
Features:
* Zoomable UI
** The entire UI can be scaled (including in-world text, manipulators, etc) by a user-supplied scale value (Preferences->Graphics->UI Size)
** When running fullscreen, the additional option "Use resolution independent scale" should ensure that the UI looks the same at all resolutions
** Additionally, changing to a resolution with a different aspect ratio than your monitor's aspect ratio should not result in any squashing or stretching of your display
* Improved Snapshot functionality
** When taking a snapshot, the world will freeze in place and the snapshot will be previewed over the entire screen (but under UI elements)
** The camera tool will be active by default, allowing you to click and drag to move the camera around while objects/avatars/etc are frozen in place, without having to hold down ALT
** You can also change snapshot parameters (resolution, JPEG compression level) and the snapshot will update on the fly
** Any time the camera moves or a parameter is changed, the existing snapshot will "drop" away and be replaced by a new one
** You can also take snapshot of arbitrary resolution, up to 6000x6000
*** Be aware that the larger the snapshot is, the more system resources are needed to create it -- you can potentially run out of memory and crash if taking very large snapshots on a low-end system
* Eyedropper tool
** Added the ability to pick colors and textures from objects in view (and that you own) inside the color picker and texture picker
** When depressed, the button changes the mouse cursor and activates a "pipette" or "eyedropper" tool
** The user can then click on another object in world to grab the texture/color of the face that they clicked
* Gestural pie menus
** Pie menus now provide a gradually faded border when the right mouse button is down to suggest that you can use them by moving the mouse in a given direction, which is faster and easier than clicking on a pie wedge directly
** Also, pie sub-menus can be accessed with gestures, making it possible to chain gestures together to perform any operation in the pie menu by memory
* Tear-off menus
** Added ability to click on a double line at the top of any menu or sub-menu and pin it in place on the UI as a "floater"
** All of the menu items should still work, as well as branching menus, etc.
** Closing the floater will make it disappear
** Accessing a detached menu via its parent menu will bring the floating menu to the foreground, but not reposition it

Other changes:
* Usability changes to Find/Search menu
** "Find" has been renamed "Search" in the Toolbar, Edit menu, Directory window, and F1 Help
** Search is still opened with the keyboard shortcut Ctrl-F
** Searches defaults to "Show Mature Content ON" for sims, parcels, events, classifieds, etc.
** The "Name" column for each listing of returned search results is now wider.
** The second column for each listing of returned search results (i.e. Dwell, Price, etc.) has its font size reduced to make additional space
* Improved text field support for INSERT key
* "Avatar" ruler mode has been changed to "Attachment" ruler mode
** Attachment rotations in "Attachment" ruler mode are relative to the attach point instead of the root of the avatar
** This should make adjusting attachments easier without using "pose stands"
* Ctrl-tab moves keyboard focus between UI floaters
* Tab key moves focus to the toolbar if nothing else has focus
* Dragging an inventory item over the scrollbar allows you to directly scroll the inventory window
* Hitting Enter when the chat line is blank will close the chat bar

* Fixed a bug that caused the Texture Picker to automatically select a texture
* Fixed a bug with the sky when right-clicking objects in the dark
* Fixed a bug that caused uploaded textures to preview incorrectly
* Fixed a bug that caused the edit window to be dragged to the bottom of the screen when minimized
* Nametags now scale properly with UI changes
* Changed UI Scale label to be consistent across the interface
* Objects can now be dragged from Recent Items to All Items

* Fixed several bugs with snapshots and HUDs

* Fixed a bug that caused the Color Picker text values to have no effect
* Fixed a bug that caused the Chat bar to appear when other windows had focus
* Fixed a bug that caused chat bubbles to go offscreen
* Fixed a bug that caused inventory Rename to lose keyboard focus
* Script comments are once again orange
* Profile can now be viewed after searching for one Resident in the finder
* Preferences > Network > Clear Cache > Apply no longer starts parcel music stream
* Fixed a bug where objects specifically requested to be returned were skipped if an avatar was sitting on them

* Terms of Service defaults to "I Disagree"
