Elevator updates galore!

I sent out a new update last night and I will post the release notes here once Second Life comes back up and I can read the notecard. Major features added were the back door explained in a post below as well as an automatic updater (which I’m not 100% sure is working correctly). I tested the auto-updater before I sent out the update using my delivery server (old faithful) and it worked fine for me, but I received a report today that someone kept receiving updates without requesting them. This may be due to the problems with Second Life today, but I’ll test it later when I can login and I’ll also update this post with release notes.

Updated July 19th, 2006:

Elevator car updated to 1.3.1:

  • Fixed a bug introduced with the updater code. There was a stray link message that was triggering the update process (with 0 as the version number instead of the actual version – thus the reason you got a new package) when you installed your elevator.

Elevator car updated to 1.3.0:

  • Added a back door to allow me to get the owner menu from other cars. This will be a big help with technical support and installing elevators.
  • Added the abilitly to update your elevator car yourself. Simply use the Update button located in the owner dialog.
    • I will no longer send out automatic updates unless I need to for some reason.
    • This means less update spam! Although I know I enjoy getting lots of product updates from other people.
    • Check www.unionmicro.net for news about updates, or join the Union Micro Support group.
      • It has no members, it’s getting lonely!
  • Streamlined the code a little bit.
    • Slightly more efficient.
    • Removed un-needed bits of code.
    • You may or may not notice a difference.

Elevator stations updated to 1.2.0:

  • Doors now check for updates when they are rezzed.

Controller updated to 1.2.0:

  • Controller now checks for updates when it is rezzed.

Other fixed and updates:

  • Revised the instructions notecard some more. It now contains a bit more information.
  • Changed the Interior Elevator Kit box contents. It now contains boxes of the other components instead of the components themselves.
    • This simply makes it easier for me to send out updates.
