Release Notes 2008-11-25

Welcome to another batch of fun updates:

Upgraded item creation/editing ala Gyre


 * A lovely progress bar will now show you how your media upload is, well, progressing.
 * Image editing tools integrated right into the uploader.
 * You can now use an image as the media for avatars and pets, and it'll be automatically wrapped up as remixable Flash.

General Whirled


 * Don't always pop up the 'publish room' panel. There's new buttons at the bottom of the room editor. Woot.
 * Added a new page to help you embed a pretty-looking affiliate link to Whirled in your blogs and on your websites. When players sign up through your link, you earn 30% of everything they spend in the shop! See the Wiki page for more information.

SDK


 * Change the timing when we dispatch property events for entity arrival and departure.
 * AVRGs can now enumerate entities in a room, and query them for entity properties.
 * Entities now always have a controlling client. The requestControl method has been abolished.
 * Asking for PROP_MEMBER_ID on a pet will return the owner id
