Release 1.20

yayaaaayy... *rolleyes*

another Update, im somehow a bit lazy to write but i will try...

Direct Delivery:
I´ve merged the complete Direct Delivery Beta system , so from now on you can use it on Aditi as far as i´ve heard of the Open Beta... its totally up to date =D

Interface:
with Direct Delivery a lot of ui has been affected , especially layout panels have been revamped nearly completly , this forced me to fix a lot of floaters , one of those fixed floaters is the Inventory , you will notice that i wont have bottom buttons anymore , and because i were editing some XMLs i though , well lets tweaks some other floaters i just randomly opened and so i made the Toybox floater with its buttons even smaller , i mean isnt it cute now?

you can also see the Outbox floater which is new and the Inbox Button in my main Inventory Panel which is pretty old... the topbar has had some tweaking aswell , please tell me if theres something wrong with hiding the favbar , also preferences had some tweakage because of the layout panel changes which fucked up Sound , Viewer , Chat and Setup panels...again please tell me if you still find something that looks broken!

Shining:
this Build features all recent Shinings again , crash fixes , lighting updates etc etc

NOTE: im aware of the bug that lights (no matter if they are projected or not) act totally screwed up on alpha surfaces , will sort that out later, i already promised that there will be a 1.21 pretty quickly... cuz i fucked up something every big release

Performance:
should/could be a little bit faster due to some little tweaks and optimisations coming from Shining

Memory caching behavior:
seems to be less aggressive now , it also looks like my Viewer finally learned to clean up some shit , i´ve started at 0.8 GB usage , jumped to Help Island Public with about 20 AVs , got 1.2 GB , jumped to Ahern with again around 20 AVs , got 1.3 GB and then jumped back to the Sandbox and dropped to 1.1 GB and with every sculpt/object that has been sucessfully loaded it dropped even more , ending up on 1.0 GB again , seems fine to me as i started on a empty space and ended up in the starting area which has a bunch of sculpts n textures

SLKinect:
Tests have proven that SLKinect2 works , its buggy , but hell yea its alpha/beta software and might be a cool feature in future!

Webkit:
due to more and more people reporting Profile probs i´ve gone back to an old webkit version which didnt feature zooming which also fucked up my profiles with 1.2 UI size.... yea zooming was depending on UI size....what a crap feature...please report me if your Profiles do work now!

Linux:
No more Linux Releases anymore , im sorry ... Miguael Liamano not just only gave up because my commits fucked up his releases (also his commits fucked up mine...) he also seems to have blocked me as i made a joke about slavery in my Group Chat today , he probably thought it was meant serious , now he left my Group , kicked me off his FL and yea seems to ignore me...sad that it has to end in "Kirsten"-style ... anyway i wish him good luck in whatever he does now , im sorry about the joke and i can just thank him for his Linux Releases which were reported to be fast...
