This release is primarily to support operation of chatbots in Second Life (SL) - see www.secondlife.com.
New Features
A new system variable _wl has been introduced. By default this is empty, but when set to "sl" certain Second Life functionality is switched on, and other functionality not relevent to Second Life (eg cookies) is switched off. Future expansion will allow for other "worlds" to be supported.
When talking to a second life character the following variables are also available:
READ ONLY
_fln: first and last name
_sluid: SL user key
WRITE
_sltext: text to be displayed above the chatbot object
_slurl: url to be offered to the user
_slurltext: text to be offered in URL dialogue box
_slnote: notecard to be offered to the user
