CCS V1.0.1

Heya all just a heads up as we continue to get CCS 1.0.1 polished off and set up. I had hoped for an end of December release but with holidays and family commitments that wasn't going to be possible. But, on top of that due to LSO base optimizations we've done, and changes to how the meter handles skill data and how the server sends it to the meter there have been some variant bugs in the process of development that have slowed us down a little to work them out under the new way the programming is handling its data.

I realize this is a bit of a "downer" for some but it is coming, technically I could have released it a week ago but I refuse to let 1.0.1 out the door with any large outstanding bugs in it so the process of finding problems, fixing problems, and then having fixes create other problems which we have to identify and resolve, has slowed down our release time line for 1.0.1 but  I do still expect it to be released very soon.

Largely the biggest reason for this is the script consolidation, and unification of all skill types under one LSO handler, its going to help performance immensely, but because its such an integral part of how everything works, the unification of the skill processing has, while lowering resources and simplifying overall communications, made the single LSO handler and its related back end PHP and SQL components far more complex than previous system versions.

So just a heads up, its coming I'm testing a new version every few days or so, and sending it back to the development table once I identify issues I don't want going live with it.

The Forums

Stormy has been handling this and as of right now my information on it is that we're waiting for a patch from the Agora development team which will reassign users to their permissions or allow us to assign user permissions enmasse. Right now because of the way the back end configuration for the forum works, its all done through the Joomla interface and theres absolutely no way to mass authorize nearly 5000 people for forum access without going through and doing it 20 users at a time by hand, its tedious and monotonous to do and Stormy has school, real life, her job and her business in SL to deal with and I myself have to run the network and deal with system development so its something we'd prefer people remained patient on til the Agora patch fix is posted and we can get that integrated.

Sorry for the inconvenience in regards to it, but we should have it resolved fairly soon.

Thanks everyone and keep having fun, soon as situations change I'll ensure everyone is made aware.
