Ugh. LL isn't planning to include scripting support for Materials textures. So: no texture change on Materials builds! Joy. Info here.
Yes... For fear of this feature getting exploited.
slutrix: Yeah - I understand the concern, it's just that this is such a basic feature. Also, I thought they could throttle LSL functions if they wanted to, but perhaps there are some other reasons.
Ah, no idea; I still wonder why they haven't used HTTPS for the viewer, implementing shared keys...
The ways of LL are not for us to question...
