Common sense again (see previous post, not claiming you're not using common sense ;): The whole version string is only needed in order to detect viewers that are KNOWN bad. That is, LL is not going to make a list of viewers that may connect, and everyone else is going to be barred; they will contact devlopers of third party viewers with lots of users and request changes, and when those changes are not made, then they will bar the access of that viewer to the grid. Thus, any viewer that doesn't have a large user base, like the personal play toy of some developer, does not have to meet this requirement: whatever it is, it is unknown to Linden Lab and THUS they cannot have a reason to want to bar access of it. If your viewer is very different from whatever you based it on then you can just pick some unique, but constant, version string, and that's it. </common sense> -- Carlo Wood <ca...@alinoe.com> _______________________________________________ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
