It’s a place where wooden buildings sit on the banks of a river, with dirt tracks for streets running under strings of lanterns, golden-brown leaves falling from the boughs trees. As the Moon Festival is celebrated so widely (China, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, and Vietnam in particular, with Japan and Korea having similar harvest celebrations of their own), this blending Chinese and Japanese styles in the buildings is not the least bit jarring rather the reverse: it feels appropriate. The rural-style traditional Chinese and Japanese buildings contain little stores, with more open-air market style stalls offering goods, games and refreshments. Moon Festival 2016, which opened on October 1st, both celebrates the festival and offers a shopping event to visitors. It’s a time when families get together to make offerings of wine flavoured with osmanthus, pears, grapes, pomegranates and mooncakes to the heavens, to express gratitude for a bumper harvest as well as enjoy a reunion with relatives who live far away. Simply put, it one of the most important dates in the lunar calendar, and is celebrated by Chinese people the world over. For 2016, this put it at September 15th, while for 2017 it will fall on October 4th. Given my love of all things oriental, I decided to hop over and take a look.įor those unfamiliar with it, the Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15 th day of the eighth lunar month. A region by Heike Kitsuyagi (Kathrine Hoxley), it offers a glimpse into the Mid-Autumn Festival, also referred to as the Moon Festival, celebrated in many parts of the far east. KKA-881 Perform merge from LL Viewer 6.4.Fellow blogger and Second Life traveller Annie Brightstar directed my attention, through Twitter, to Moon Festival 2016 in Second Life. KKA-882 Port over FS:Ansariel's dynamic texture memory sizing KKA-878 Add an option to always pop up chat/IM toasts Task KKA-867 Duplication of names in group chat lists Improvement KKA-874 The Toolbar/toolbox floater is too small KKA-872 - the cause of this one is also not clear, however it looks like like a teleport crash or connection failure - protective code has been added to avoid the crash (although in this case the session was doomed anyway) KKA-873 - the cause of this one is not clear, however it’s related to wind sound generation - protective code has been added to avoid the crash KKA-876 - this could occur when right clicking an object which is a broken link (RLV only) KKA-877 - this is believed to occur when a viewer effect from a hud object has stopped whilst still being processed within the viewer KKA-879 - occurs when viewing a notecard has been denied by RLV when opening a notecard from another avatar or a group notice (RLV only) The BugSplat report names indicate where the crash happened which doesn’t always give a good indication of the likely scenario leading to the crash. These settings can be found on Preferences / Chat / Notifications The existing option has been renamed “Pop up the message if the window is obscured” (where ‘window’ refers to the Local chat panel of the Conversations floater) and a new option “Always pop up the message” which does exactly as it says. KKA-878: Although it’s possible to configure chat messages to show up as toasts they will not appear if the Nearby Chat panel of the Conversations floater is fully visible which can be vexing if the expected behaviour is to always get a toast. The list of issues resolved in this version is below, as usual some need additional explanation:. The BugSplat reporting system in the Windows builds of Kokua is highlighting a number of crashes and fixes for several of them are incorporated in this release. The Graphics panel in Preferences has been rewritten to eliminate the Advanced panel and instead incorporate its content on three new tabs within the Graphics panel. This feature was written by Ansariel Hiller. In addition this release imports Firestorm’s dynamic sizing of texture memory which allows the viewer to use more of the available graphics memory whilst still reserving space for other users. This release brings Kokua to parity with LL’s 6.4.21 release which primarily focused on voice handling improvements along with a number of other fixes ( ).
