It's been a while since I noticed changes to the calls available in LSL that have interested me. The last time I can think of was when llGetAgentList turned up on our region. Today's RC release adds some handy extra items to llGetEnv. Whereas before the values that could be acquired were:
dynamic_pathfinding
estate_id
frame_number
region_idle
sim_channel
sim_version
it's now been extended with:
agent_limit
estate_name
region_cpu_ratio
region_product_name
region_product_sku
region_start_time
simulator_hostname
I can see some of these new ones being handy for information and diagnostic uses. region_start_time is especially useful in that it renders part of my region restart notifier script moot (the part that lets you know when a region last restarted). It also means you can check the update of any region you're stood in by simple use of an easily-scripted HUD.
simulator_hostname also looks handy in that it pretty much replaces any need to use llGetSimulatorHostname and, in doing so, removes the forced delay cost.
I'm also a bit intrigued to see the addition of OBJECT_LAST_OWNER_ID. That could have some interesting uses.
