They were introduced in the v6.7 series (6.7.4?), allowing a plain text file that begins with a specific declaration to be used as stacks.

The declaration is:

  script <stackname>

e.g.:

  script "revcommonlibrary"

You'll find many of these in your LC folder in <lcversion>/Toolset/Libraries/

Not only are they useful as libraries, but behaviors have been extended to allow stacks now as well, so you can use script-only stacks for all generalized code.

Script-only stacks allow us to design projects in which code is mostly in plain text files; we still get to enjoy the script editor, but can also directly integrate our work with workflows based around most common version control tools, like GitHub, in which UI files can e slender binaries with little or no code and everything else is plain text.
