Scriptish Finally Supports @Grant!

By Erik Vold

Greasemonkey implemented @grant last year, and Scriptish fell behind.. that sucked. The feature is a good one that adds a little more security to userscripts, and we should have supported this feature sooner, alas it did not happen until this weekend.

There is a very important difference between Greasemonkey’s @grant implementation and Scriptish’s @grant implementation which is that Greasemonkey attempts to auto determine which GM_ apis the script needs, and Scriptish will not. Which means a lot of userscripts may break in the coming upgrade. I’m doing this to force userscript authors to fix their scripts though, and they’ve had a year to do this so it is about time they got around to it.

Good job Greasemonkey for pushing userscripts forward again!
