It also surprised me to still see this warning in the latest viewer sources, since the actual script compilation now happens server side (it was needed for Mono scripts anyway), but one is never to cautious... Plus, there is still the issue that since the new functions are not yet implemented in the official viewer, their server side implementation could change without notice and render our own wiewer-side implementation deprecated or even incompatible... > McCabe added the new functions and keywords to Imprudence recently, > here's the commit with the changes: > > http://github.com/jacek/imprudence/commit/a3182539 There are quite a few things missing in this patch to actually make it a functional one, namely changes to indra.l, lllslconstants.h and llclickaction.h. Also, PRIM_NAME doesn't (yet) exist server-side (I checked for all possible unused integer constants), and PRIM_TEXT is wrongly documented in your keywords.ini as referring to the prim description instead of its hovertext (I do agree however, that a mean of changing and retreiving prim description is *definitely* required if we want to be able to get rid of all secondary scripts in child prims: prims description is the only sensible and reliable way to store script-reset-resilient data... I wish LSL would provide a way to write into notecards, like what can be done in OpenSim...). I got a proper, working patch if you want it (will be part of the next release of the Cool VL Viewer)...
