Summary

This is a fully functional alternative to XEngine.

• Preemptive Multitasking
• Improved script syntax
• New language extensions

Preemptive Multitasking

YEngine executes script events using preemptive multitasking.
This means that, at certain control points, a script may release execution, waiting in a queue until it is its turn to execute again.
Current criteria to release execution is been running for 60ms at first time, or 30ms on continuations, been order to sleep, etc This alone solves one of XEngine worse problems: llSleep(). llSleep just places the script on a wait queue, until the sleep time expires, using no other execution resources

Improved script syntax

New language extensions

Configuration

Opensimulation default configuration selects XEngine. To change to YEngine you need to change OpenSim.ini:
[Startup] section:

DefaultScriptEngine = "YEngine"

[Yengine] section:

Enable = true

[Xengine] section:

Enable = false
