The change makes two principal implementation changes:
[1] It removes the hard coded set of possible asset server client
implementations, allowing any arbitrary implementation that has been
identified to the PluginLoader as an appropriate extension. The
extension point for asset server client extension
is /OpenSim/AssetServerClient. All of the old configuration rules have
been preserved, and any of the legacy configuration values will still
work as they did before, except the implementation is now loaded as a
plug-in, rather than as a hard-coded instantiation of a specific class.
The re-hashing of IAssetServer as an extension of IPlugin made upgrading
of the implementation classes a necessity.
Caveat: I have not been able to meaningfully test the crypto-grid
clients. I believe they should work correctly, but the refactoring
necessary to handle plug-in based initialization (vs constructor-based
initialisation) admits the possibility of a problem.
[2] The asset cache implementation, previously introduce as a hard-code
class instantiation is now implemented as an IPlugin. Once again the
previous (configurationless) behavior has been preserved. But now it is
possible for those interested in experimenting with cache technologies
to do so simply by introducing a new extension for the asset cache
extension point (/OpenSim/AssetCache).
I've tested all of the configuration settings, after applying the patch
to a newly extracted tree, and they seem to work OK.
* This allows configuration of the assetset and library control file paths to be other than ./inventory/Libraries.xml and ./assets/AssetSets.xml
* This is controlled via the LibrariesXMLFile and AssetSetsXMLFile configuration settings in [StandAlone] in OpenSim.ini (in standalone)
and via the user and asset config xml files for grid mode
* Thanks to SirKimba for the patch
This patch introduces a couple of read-only properties,
so that I can grab the asset server plugin from a region
module. This is needed to set up an http service for
accessing standalone assets remotely.
* This is a HUGE OMG update and will definitely have unknown side effects.. so this is really only for the strong hearted at this point. Regular people should let the dust settle.
* This has been tested to work with most basic functions. However.. make sure you back up 'everything' before using this. It's that big!
* Essentially we're back at square 1 in the testing phase.. so lets identify things that broke.
* As such, only a request for a non cached asset, the response and failures show up now.
* I know lbsa71 only put these in not long ago, so if they are really still required, I think we should think whether we can move the default log4net level off 'Debug'
* This fixes some of the 'runaway downloads' problem but not all of it
* Also fix up logging messages so texture requests are reported as such rather than as assets
* The BlockingQueue exposes Contains so we can make sure we don't add a TextureSender to the queue if there's already one present
* introduced some TryGetValue and various code convention stuff
* PrimitiveBaseShape: The textures are now exposed as a 'TextureEntry Textures'; all serialization still using the 'byte[] TextureEntry' for backwards compatibility.
* Scene: Re-added AddTree, since the Tree type isn't gone from libsl, merely relocated.
* The AssetServerBase is now responsible for dequeueing, the server implementations merely recieves ProcessRequest( AssetRequest req )
* Catchall added around queue processing thread so thread won't abort on exceptions.
Note this has lead to a big flat project, but I think a lot of the files we most likely don't even use any longer. And others belong in other projects/namespaces anyway.
* Sqlite Storage Engine now supports terrain -- however be aware that every terrain revision stored will at 512KB to your database file. At the moment it is storing every revision from the first.
* Fixed an issue where by noverbose mode would display lots of useless junk. Noverbose mode is now quite usable.
* Fixed a whole bunch of console message issues such as naming and categorisation
