I tried to find the currect version of universal detection javascript, for
OS, Browser, and Browser Version(all in one), but find only old

Is there up-to-dated version of this script?

Given the hundreds (probably thousands) of permutations, what exactly
do you intend doing with that information, assuming that there were
any means of gathering it?

A page that starts with the warning:- "This document is obsolete and
the information in it should not be relied upon. The practices
described here are not recommended and this document is provided only
for historical reference. Please see the web-developer documentation
index page for more up-to-date documentation."

Where the "practices" that are "not recommended" are attempting to use
javascript (or anything else) to determine the OS, Browser, and
Browser Version.

The practice is obsolete so an up-to-date version is a contradiction
(which does not mean that there will not be recently written verions).

it would be nice to add to this script also a few Plug-in detection option
(Adobe Reader, Flash, Java, QuickTime): all in one.
That would be very handy. Someone?
