Features of the Imprudence viewers

Imprudence has many features and improvements over the regular Second Life viewer, including countless user interface improvements and numerous OpenSim-specific features and fixes. Listed below are some the features we included in the Experimental Release viewers, as well as those of the Stable Releases. We have categorized them for easier viewing.

Please edit this page to add descriptions for features listed here, or add Imprudence features we haven't listed yet.

Here are some of the features we listed so far:

Stable Release Features
