We assert that the local html directory is no longer used. Remove machinery
related to its use, notably HelpUseLocal, the code that checks it and the
code that sets and examines special flag URL "__local".
Before actually killing off the local skins/default/html directory, make
viewer_manifest.py rename it but continue packaging it as html.old. If this
doesn't cause a panic, we can proceed with removing it entirely.
The F1 help topic now means: if the user is not logged in yet, show
the pre-login topic instead of the default fallback topic, otherwise
show help for the focused item
The search URL is now specified in app_settings/settings.xml (instead
of in floater_search.xml), and it is now defined more flexibly with
support for various substitution strings, such as [QUERY], [AUTH_KEY],
[MATURITY], [GODLIKE], etc.
I pulled the common substitution code out into a new static method,
LLWeb::expandURLSubstitutions(). This provides support for common
strings like [VERSION], [CHANNEL], [LANGUAGE], [OS], etc. The Help and
Home sidetray code has been updated to use this new function, to avoid
replicating this behavior 3 times.
I also cleaned up the app_settings/settings.xml file and removed the
old search keys of: SearchURLDefault, SearchURLQuery, and
SearchURLSuffix2.
The special pre_login_help topic is now only displayed when the user
clicks on the "Need help logging in?" link on the login screen, or
selects the top-level Help > Second Life Help (F1) menu.
Renamed llviewerversion to llversioninfo, to avoid confusion with
llversionviewer in llcommon (llversion is already used by llwindow).
Created new LLVersionInfo class with the following methods:
static S32 getMajor();
static S32 getMinor();
static S32 getPatch();
static S32 getBuild();
static const std::string &getVersion();
static const std::string &getShortVersion();
static const std::string &getChannel();
All viewer code has been updated to use this API. Viewer code no
longer directly includes llversionviewer.h from llcommon.
Asking for help (e.g., pressing F1) before logging in will now display
a specific pre-login help topic, "pre_login_help". This behavior was
agreed upon with Rand to allow us to display a custom page to help the
user log on successfully.
