Updated to OpenSim 0.8.2 Dev
- Updates brought in from OpenSim 0.8.1 and 0.8.2 (Dev)
- Script changes -- two new OSSL functions (osForceOtherSit, osGetGender) plus new and improved LSL functions (llCastRay, llGetGeometricCenter, llGetBoundingBox, llGetEnv)
- Other notable changes -- change to how terrain updates are handled; performance metrics; World managers can "kick" a user via the Estate Management dialog; "Grab" objects via control+drag to move them and control+shift+drag tp rotate them; etc.
- "This change will make it much easier to pick up items in other grids and be sure that they will be allowed to enter and leave Kitely freely."
- Updated list of supported OSSL functions to reflect new functions and permissions
- Bug fixes -- Transfer Stations work again (fixes bug that came in 0.8.2); Group access to worlds now works for Hypergrid users too; short form kitely.com:8002 allowed in World Map search, but using the full form grid.kitely.com:8002 is recommended
