ABOUT META-IMPY
Meta-impy used to be the next generation experimental viewer for the
meta 7 grid. Meta 7 closed, but meta-impy lives on. The rest of
this text is the old text from the meta 7 days. I'll write
something now soon.
The old meta 7 viewer was based on an ancient version of Emerald. We
need an update. After much discussion and evaluation, and too much
delay, I decided to fork and modify the Imprudence 1.4.0 code base
to our requirements. Thus the meta-impy viewer was born. This time
around I will try to keep up with the upstream changes.
I agree with the Imprudence manifesto. I also have my own ideas
about how code should be written, and how the mess that is the LL
code base should be morphed into something sane. I don't think that
moving to the SL 2 code base is such a good idea. Even now I still
see problems from the move to the SL 1.23 code base. I thought
moving from 1.22 was a bad idea to. LL has us playing catch up at
their chosen pace. We should just fix up their horrid code and
streak ahead of them.
Since this is being done for meta7, and meta7 does not care about LL
TPVP, somethings are just going to be changed specifically to suit
the meta7 grid. On the other hand, there are some things we might
implement that are of general usefulness, or already on the Impy
wish list. I will try to write them such that Impy developers can
cherry pick those things, then let the Impy developers know.
Note, since we don't care about LL TPVP, it's likely that meta7
viewers will not be TPVP compliant. Meta 7 viewers are made for use
on the meta7 grid. They will probably work on the SL grid, but that
is not important to us, and not recommended by us. Use at your own
risk on the SL grid.
