Hi I changed the subject line on this one or it gets lost amongst the other discussion.
I think this is an awesome idea. - Timeless Prototype On 10/07/06, Adam Frisby <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Me & John were discussing a 'update' server hosted in the gna.org project webspace. Something that has a copy of the latest keywords.txt, protocol.txt and what version SL likes you to login as. The idea would be: libsl sends it's version and it's protocl.txt/keyword.txt checksum to --> http://home.gna.org/libsecondlife/update.php Which either returns a: * 'clear to go' signal - your client is fully compatible, and can login. * 'update' signal, offering URL's to the latest keywords/protocl.txt, and the current SL version number * 'need new libsl' signal - where the version of libsl listed is completely incompatible with SL, and cannot be upgraded, save a DLL update. -Adam John Hurliman wrote: > Tom Wilson wrote: > >> does libSL check server version numbers on login? >> >> by keeping the libSL DLL in sync with the servers, we would get around >> the upload fee problem. >> >> > It doesn't right now, but should.
