[[Second Life]] 1.1.7, November 18, 2003

* More responsive walking, especially at low [[frame rate]]s.
* Fixed several [[bug]]s with non-rectangular [[parcel]]s that could lead to the wrong piece of [[land]] being claimed, [[deed]]ed to a [[group]], or released.
* Various patches to OpenGL graphics initialization and mode switching (fullscreen<-->windowed). 
* Fixes for some crashes on [[client]] shutdown.
* The fee for listing a parcel in the [[Find]] directory has been reduced. Also, the search panel searches both names and descriptions. 
* Cancelled [[event]]s no longer show up in the Find directory.
* The [[world map]] has improved icons for [[avatar]]s, [[telehub]]s, events, etc.
* The world map now has a legend explaining the [[color]]s used in the background.
* The world map remembers which background you last selected.
* You can join land you buy from another player to land you already own. Joining for land deeded to a group is not done yet, sorry.
* Second Life no longer plays [[sound]]s when it is minimized.
* Fixes to [[texture]] [[animation]] system to make <tt>SMOOTH</tt> work correctly in combination with [[parameter]]s besides <tt>TRANSLATE</tt>.
* Minor performance improvements when lots of text is on the screen. Other minor performance optimizations.
* Parcel directory fees now correctly counted in [[stipend]] calculations.
* Disabled users no longer counted in group dividends/[[tax]]es.
* Fixed issues with [[object]]s becoming in[[visible]] after un[[link]]ing or being [[attachment|detached]] from an avatar.
* Fixed issues with textures sometimes not wrapping properly.
* Whether objects are for sale or not survives being [[take]]n into [[inventory]] and [[drop]]ped back into the [[world]].
* Fix for crash when compiling a [[script]] that defines a {{IW-LSL|link=list}} of lists.
* Fix for [[group Window|group panel]] where controls would not work correctly for some groups.
* Fix for group panel which would occasionally display 'None' as a group [[member]].
* You can deed land to a group even if you have a negative balance.
* Fix for losing [[clothing]] icons when trading inventory folders.
* Hitting 'F' for [[Fly]] while [[sit]]ting no longer unseats you.
* [[Vehicle]]s
** [[Vehicle]]s using linear deflection can now go backwards again.
** Vehicles using <tt>VEHICLE_FLAG_LIMIT_ROLL_ONLY</tt> no longer experience a singularity when their x-[[axis]] is parallel to the world z-axis.
** Vehicle vertical attractor effectiveness now approaches zero for vehicles totally upside down ==> it will be easier for airplanes 
to do a loop-de-loop.
** <tt>VEHICLE_FLAG_LIMIT_MOTOR_UP</tt> has been added to the documentation.
** The documentation now mentions that the <tt>VEHICLE_HOVER_HEIGHT</tt> uses the vehicle's "center of mass" when computing where to [[hover]].
** The vehicle banking behavior now has an automatic strength decay feature whose timescale is twice that of the vertical attractor, 
which will prevent some vehicles from falling over into a perpetual spin. The decay is reset whenever the angular or linear motor is changed, so this decay should not be noticable for any vehicles that are being actively steered.
