Why does Linden Lab so often make seemingly arbitrary changes without alerting those who it will affect? I am livid right now. Their postcard format, which has remained consistent for the past three years (other than when the image sizes changed, which they did give warning on), suddenly without warning tonight had a major change made to it. Apparently it was a rolling sim change as well, because not all postcards coming out of
SL had the same change on them until late today, but it resulted in the lost of hundreds of images sent to Snapzilla today.
Previously, in the comments of the postcard, there was information you could extract to tell who sent the postcard, what sim it was from, and the coordinates. This has been consistent since 2005, in a simple format. Yet, without warning, today, it changed to this format:
<!-- BEGIN POSTCARD DETAILS
agent_id=0d2d7814-8b2d-4db1-81b8-96b507104e89
username="Cristiano Midnight"
region_id=41ed3567-71a8-02a9-0f73-8b933a010737
sim_name="Mavericks"
global_x=256893
global_y=254787
local_x=125
local_y=67
local_z=84
END POSTCARD DETAILS -->
This broke the image processing on Snapzilla, which deleted the images it could not handle. It took hours of work to try to figure out what the hell was even happening. I am not very happy with LL right now. Change is fine, but good lord, they can at least announce it. I wouldn't even hope for notification personally at this point, but I imagine this bullshit is probably buried in some release note or JIRA, if at all. Am I ranting here for nothing and just totally missed it? I cannot find reference to a change anywhere, certainly not one to explain it slowly changing over time on a Monday sim by sim.
