AjaxLife 0.3.8 release notes

July 25th, 2008Release 2 Comments

New update without any downtime. And you don’t, in theory, have to clear your cache, either. Hurrah.

Anyway:

New features

  • Display of parcel title next to your position
  • Parcel media support
    • Two new buttons will appear when applicable in the toolbar, labelled “Music” and “Media”
    • These buttons will only appear if you have the QuickTime plugin installed
    • The “Media” button will show the parcel media – most often a video
    • The “Music” button will show a window in which you can play the parcel stream
    • Nothing will auto-play
    • Web pages are not supported
Changes
  • Added version number to static script URLs, avoiding the need to clear cache.
Known issues
  • If a video is playing, it will show through any windows above it. Workaround: don’t put any windows above the video. You can shrink the video to help
  • Videos will always open at the same initial size, although they will play at the correct aspect ratio. You can resize the video yourself.
  • Streaming audio may stop playing if the window is closed and then reopened. Solution: click elsewhere on the time bar thingy, and also make sure it’s actually playing.

AjaxLife 0.3.7 release notes

July 21st, 2008Release 8 Comments

Not much actually changed, but here you go:

New features

  • Option to disable notification sounds – checkbox at login, and keyboard shortcut (ctrl-shift-S) to toggle.
  • Keyboard shortcut (ctrl-shift-H) to teleport home
Changes
  • Updated German, Brazilian, Hebrew, Japanese and Dutch translations to include all phrases in 0.3.6.
  • Changed backend server start system to dramatically reduce effort required to release updates
  • Removed ability to hit “esc” to escape modal dialogues (sorry, no choice).
Bug fixes
  • Clicking “Instant Message” on one’s profile repeatedly would open multiple IM tabs, which didn’t actually work.
  • Conference IMs show “(hippos)” as the tab title. Note that replies are still impossible (but now marked as such)
  • Dialogues can’t be dismissed without the modal dialogue system being aware of it.
As an additional result of the changes made in 0.3.7, you shouldn’t have to clear your cache when 0.3.8 rolls around (due to the ease of server updates). But for now you do, so please clear your cache if you see a checkbox labelled “(loading)” on the login screen.

AjaxLife down

July 20th, 2008Downtime No Comments

[01:26 BST] AjaxLife is up again, running version 0.3.7. If you see a checkbox labelled “(loading)”, please clear your cache and try again. Thanks to a backend change made in 0.3.7, this should not be necessary for the next version (probably 0.3.8).

[00:46 BST] S3 is now up. However, AjaxLife remains down for work that will decrease the time required for updating in the future, and for an update to 0.3.7.

Due to a failure with Amazon’s S3 storage service, AjaxLife is down until they fix it. This is the same reason that LL’s website is broken and half the rest of the “Web 2.0″ thing is screwy. Apologies for any inconvenience. Please moan at Amazon instead.
