AjaxLife is going to be updated to version 0.3.2. Here is a pair of screenshots demonstrating the added features:
Here’s the new feature list:
- Group list in the IM window
- Group IMs work correctly – including joining, leaving, starting and conversing.
- The position of the map beacon is shown on the minimap if applicable
- You can now change inventory item permissions and descriptions via their properties (right click on the item and pick “Properties” from the menu.)
And a bugfix list:
- Map textboxes now reflect what the map thinks you want to look at
- Fixed: Issue 9: God Summon Does Not Work. [Lindens]
- Fixed: Issue 11: No Group IMs, Group IMs go to Instant Message Tab.
- Fixed: Issue 16: Hebrew in AjaxLife causes profile windows to have unneeded scroll-bars
Additionally, the following was fixed without fanfare in a minor patch to 0.3.1:
- Issue 10: No Way to Scroll Down Friends List.
And the following changes were made:
- The map now shows a waiting indicator when attempting to load data for unknown areas – it no longer shows popup messages.
- The map will let you select blank areas, although teleporting to the, etc. will not work (obviously). These areas will be highlighted in blue instead of red.
I hope you like the changes/improvements/fixes!
I have made a couple of improvements to AjaxLife:
- It now runs in Internet Explorer – mostly. Due to speed issues some of the fancy UI stuff was disabled. The same effects are disabled on the Wii. Additionally the stats window refused to render in IE, so I was lazy and disabled it in IE.
- Scripts now have syntax highlighting. Woo!
Hooray for updates. Please note that loading inventory is not recommended in IE – it will tend to make it hang for a length of time proportional to the number of items in your inventory – but a folder with more than about five items will have a noticeable delay. I gave up waiting and forcibly terminated it when I opened my textures folder.
UPDATE:
Screenshot:

Also, note that if you click a function, event or type, a new window will open containing the relevant SL Wiki page. (note the status bar in the screenshot. Also note that it capitalises the first letter, as it should for the wiki).
Oh, and I gave the post a title. “Post #124″ just wasn’t doing it.
The three, in my opinion, most annoying bugs in AjaxLife have been fixed:
- AjaxLife would stop receiving messages, although you could still send them – FIXED (well, at least one cause of the bug is)
- Incoming IMs would not be shown in the IM window, but instead in a short-lived “Lost Instant Message” noticed – FIXED
- Accidentally leaving the page would cause you to leave the page without confirmation – FIXED (actually a new feature, but still really annoying)
So yay!
