Synchronous XMLHttpRequest warning in console

[mlukowski]

The viewer.js code does exactly what I need it to do and I would like to keep using it; however I am getting the following warning in the console that I have linked to the viewer.js code:

Synchronous XMLHttpRequest on the main thread is deprecated because of its detrimental effects to the end user's experience. For more help, check http://xhr.spec.whatwg.org/.

Is there a plan for updating the XMLHttpRequests used in the code to asynchronous to ensure the usability beyond when the synchronous requests are no longer supported?

Thanks for the hint. This is a known warning, we see it as well :)
No immediate plans to do something about it, but in the longterm surely will be handled.
