It's called Panther. Strangely, changes to 'set volume' and 'get volume settings' are not documented in the Release Notes for AppleScript 1.9.2 or 1.9.3 at http://www.apple.com/applescript/releasenotes/ . But here's what they look like in Standard Additions 1.9.3 (OS 10.3.2 and later). You cannot install 1.9.2 or 1.9.3 without installing Panther:

get volume settings: Get the sound output and input volume settings (defined in: StandardAdditions.osax)
   get volume settings
   Result: volume settings  -- a record containing the sound output and input volume settings

set volume: Set the sound output and/or input volume (defined in: StandardAdditions.osax)
   set volume [number]  -- the sound output volume, a real number from 0 to 7 (This parameter is deprecated; if specified, all other parameters will be ignored.)
        [output volume small integer] -- the sound output volume, an integer from 0 to 100
        [input volume small integer] -- the sound input volume, an integer from 0 to 100
        [alert volume small integer] -- the alert volume, an integer from 0 to 100
        [output muted boolean] -- Should the sound output be muted?


Class volume settings: Reply record for the ‘get volume settings’ command
Properties:
   
output volume small integer  [r/o]  -- the sound output volume
   
input volume small integer  [r/o]  -- the sound input volume
   
alert volume small integer  [r/o]  -- the alert volume (as a percentage of the output volume)
   
output muted boolean  [r/o]  -- Is the sound output muted?


Lots more settings available. Note that the old 'number' parameter of set volume is deprecated: if it's used, then the other parameters aren't available.
