| 20 | ABOUT META-IMPY | ||
| 22 | 21 | ||
| 23 | The latest source code for the Imprudence Viewer is available at: | 22 | The old meta 7 viewer was based on an ancient version of Emerald. We |
| 23 | need an update. After much discussion and evaluation, and too much | ||
| 24 | delay, I decided to fork and modify the Imprudence 1.4.0 code base | ||
| 25 | to our requirements. Thus the meta-impy viewer was born. This time | ||
| 26 | around I will try to keep up with the upstream changes. | ||
| 24 | 27 | ||
| 25 | http://github.com/imprudence/imprudence/ | 28 | I agree with the Imprudence manifesto. I also have my own ideas |
| 29 | about how code should be written, and how the mess that is the LL | ||
| 30 | code base should be morphed into something sane. I don't think that | ||
| 31 | moving to the SL 2 code base is such a good idea. Even now I still | ||
| 32 | see problems from the move to the SL 1.23 code base. I thought | ||
| 33 | moving from 1.22 was a bad idea to. LL has us playing catch up at | ||
| 34 | their chosen pace. We should just fix up their horrid code and | ||
| 35 | streak ahead of them. | ||
| 26 | 36 | ||
| 37 | Since this is being done for meta7, and meta7 does not care about LL | ||
| 38 | TPVP, somethings are just going to be changed specifically to suit | ||
| 39 | the meta7 grid. On the other hand, there are some things we might | ||
| 40 | implement that are of general usefulness, or already on the Impy | ||
| 41 | wish list. I will try to write them such that Impy developers can | ||
| 42 | cherry pick those things, then let the Impy developers know. | ||
| 43 | |||
| 44 | Note, since we don't care about LL TPVP, it's likely that meta7 | ||
| 45 | viewers will not be TPVP compliant. Meta 7 viewers are made for use | ||
| 46 | on the meta7 grid. They will probably work on the SL grid, but that | ||
| 47 | is not important to us, and not recommended by us. Use at your own | ||
| 48 | risk on the SL grid. | ||
