[opensource-dev] Inventory Patch you should integrate

[Oz Linden (Scott Lawrence)]

We're going to deploying changes to the inventory backend soon that 
improve robustness and performance, but in testing those changes we 
found that existing viewers relied on certain things being strictly 
ordered.  With the new backend, that assumption does not always hold true.


Changeset d327dcc8ae51 
 
from viewer-development implements the viewer change needed to avoid 
race conditions.  It should be straightforward to apply to any viewer, 
and is safe to release before the changes are deployed (it is compatible 
with the services as they are now).


You are strongly urged to port this patch and get it deployed.

How urgent is it ?... Do we have days or weeks ?  Will there be any
testing ground available (e.g. on the beta grid or in some sandbox
on the main grid) ?...

"You are strongly urged" to provide more accurate details... ;-P

Thank you in advance.

Henri.

If you do not have this patch there is a 50% chance that when you open
a box with an outfit and pick Copy and Wear not all items will be
worn. (If I have gotten these facts wrong please correct me Oz).

I'm not sure of the exact deployment schedule - more than days, probably 
less than a month.

I believe that there is no known risk of inventory loss or damage 
without the patch, but it is true that some operations can result in 
accidental nudity, which some users might be unhappy about.
