CasperVend 2/Vendors/ChangeLog

v2.07

All components: Security improvements. We've added additional hash checks to the protocol, "just in case".
All components: Changed the communications protocol for increased reliability.
Free, Premium, Mesh, HoloVend: General discounts now have a direct impact on the price shown on the vendor
Free, Premium, Mesh, HoloVend: Group discounts present a second button on the vendor to allow the lower price to be paid (https://bugs.casperdns.com/view.php?id=94)
Free, Premium, Mesh, HoloVend: New "Price override" option, allows you to force a vendor to charge a certain price. (https://bugs.casperdns.com/view.php?id=475)
Free, Premium, Mesh, HoloVend: New "Don't allow discounts to be awarded" option (also available on older versions)
Free, Premium, Mesh, HoloVend: Vendors can now be set offline (https://bugs.casperdns.com/view.php?id=9)
Free, Premium, Mesh, HoloVend: Improved the way the vendor registers with the network in order to reduce load on rolling restarts
Free, Premium, Mesh, HoloVend: Increased the startup delay after a region restart from 0-10 minutes to 0-15 minutes
Free, Premium, Mesh: Sounds are now restricted to 25 meters rather than 10.
DropBox: Added support for sending linked messages (fix for https://bugs.casperdns.com/view.php?id=488 )
DropBox: Protocol improved to be more compliant with objects with non-ascii names
DropBox Self check re-added to the dropbox code (since SVC-6546 has made a return recently).

TextureVend updated to v1.54. Fixed an issue where clicking the side panels wouldn't correctly select the right texture.
Repairs a fault which caused the TextureVend to deliver system textures and display then on the overview. (https://bugs.casperdns.com/view.php?id=476)
Midnight madness was updated to add a "Profile Pick" feature. Our Midnight Madness expansion to CasperVend2 can now be set to require that the user's profile have a certain "profile pick".
CasperVend2 vendors now have a limited read-only API available, including an in-world ANS service. (https://wiki.casperdns.com/index.php?title=CasperVend_2/API)

Delivery speed is now significantly faster.
Fixed a rare but annoying vendor lockup
Two new vendors : 9 panel primsaver and 3 prim stand model
Addressed some important issues with transactions being processed multiple times (fixed in all previous versions too. This fix was applied at 3:20PM PDT on the 23rd of April. Any transactions before this time may have been affected. This was a very rare issue, but dangerous for those who were hit by it.)
Added some feedback from payment commands so the vendors will notify us about payment state even if LL's HTTP link is down
Added an "Update" dialog menu item to allow the owner to request an upgradebee from an out of date vendor (added to all previous versions too)
Added a "Delete" dialog menu item to allow the owner to delete the vendor cleanly, with no timeout (added to all previous versions too)
TextureVend: Fixed a problem that caused the option to toggle the watermark to fail.
TextureVend: Watermark textures are now present inside the vendors and can be changed just by swapping the textures.

DropBox: A "delete" option has been added to the touch menu of the dropbox, to allow users to cleanly remove dropboxes and their containing items without first emptying the contents.
UpgradeBee: The "Force All" and "Check All" options have been cleaned up so that they generate the correct text output in local.
HoloVend: A problem was found which in some circumstances could cause objects to fail to derez. This has been solved in the 2.05 tracker script and the 1.55 rez-free package. If you continue to experience trouble after updating, it's most likely because you are either not using the latest version of the tracker / rez-free, OR you still have old versions rezzed (they might be small and hard to find, select the area on your rezzing platform to find them).
HoloVend: Sounds are now restricted to 25 meters rather than 10.
HoloVend: Instant Messages sent from the vendor will be sent using a custom name and not the name of the vendor, to help prevent confusion.

Restricted sounds to a 10m radius of the vendor, to prevent noise pollution.
Renamed the option "Update All" on the UpgradeBee to "Force All" to imply that it's not the default/preferred option.
Vendors will now send IM's using a custom name rather than their current name, to avoid confusion.
DropBox v2 is now included. No need to update though, your old dropboxes will continue to work fine.
Updated the old v1 system to be able to utilise v2 dropboxes
Updated the new v2 system to be able to utilise v2 dropboxes
Group-restricted vendors can now deliver "free" items via touch -> Deliver.

v2.01 had a regression that caused vendors to reset / lose data when shift copied, and blanked their description when reset. Fixed.
We accidentally distributed the 2.01 upgradebee without transfer permissions - the 2.02 bee is transferrable.
UpgradeBee: "Check All" - which doesn't do any updates, but scans your region and deletes any missing vendors from the database, which helps to clear up your web interface quickly.
UpgradeBee: "Update all", which forces the bee to update all your vendors even if they're already up to date. It's best not to use this unless advised to by CasperTech support
