Copyright 1999-2000 VA Linux Systems, Inc. http://luaforge.net LuaForge Project News Highlights http://luaforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=1806 Long in the preparing, my JSON parser/generator for Lua is nearing 1.0 release. It uses LPEG for the parser and is setup to permit various flavors of JSON decoders (allow NaN, Inf, null, other escape sequences, ...) to be generated. Partly lacking is the support for proper unicode escape sequence generation and a more customizable encoder. Documentation also needs some TLC. On the roadmap for the next release are the following: * Customizable encoders with similar mechanics to the decoders * Integrate customizable unicode handlers (UTF-8 -> UTF-16 -> UTF-8 expected) * Permit hooking in custom 'function-calls' to handle more complex data items during decode, an encoding mechanism using metatables may also be included. * luarocks rockspec for easy distribution LuaJSON Thomas Harning Sat, 16 Aug 2008 4:30:49 GMT http://luaforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=1805 lua.exe updated to support require function with modules and Lua AIO Editor lpeg.dll version 0.8.1 added lualdap.dll version 1.1.0 added Lua AIO Arnaud Le Ber Mon, 11 Aug 2008 8:31:43 GMT http://luaforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=1804 eLua is an effort to bring the Lua programming language in the embedded world (MCUs). It is meant to be a complete MCU development environment. It currently runs on a number of ARM variants, as well as Cortex (and i386 as a proof of concept). Version 0.3 was just released, this is the changelog: * Added support for ST STR912FW44 * Added support for Cortex LM3S6965 * New terminal support module (term) * Added new example (hangman.lua) that uses the new term module * More intuitive and flexible build system (new syntax, component selection at build time) * eLua examples are now part of the repository * Project documentation updated Go to the project main page (http://elua.berlios.de) for more information, and to the download page (http://elua.berlios.de/download.html) for information about how you can download eLua. eLua - embedding Lua in microcontrollers Bogdan Marinescu Sat, 09 Aug 2008 5:42:18 GMT http://luaforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=1803 L-Bia is a self-running Lua interpreter. And now it's LuaBinaries compatible (need improve yet), so you can convert almost any Lua script (with or without Lua/C modules and/or dependent shared libraries) into a single executable. This version has improved **security, smaller size, bug fixes and new features**. Lua Built-In program (L-Bia) Breno Ramalho Lemes Fri, 08 Aug 2008 11:16:25 GMT http://luaforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=1802 We are proud to announce the next release of Lua for Windows (LfW). It has a few updates, but mainly fixes the Microsoft Visual C++ run-time issues. There have been a lot of changes so please report any bugs. The Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable is now dynamically downloaded, but I wrote the script so it will be easy to just package it in the installer. So please let me know the thoughts about an installer that downloads dynamically. Enjoy. Homepage: http://luaforwindows.luaforge.net/ Description: Lua for Windows is a 'batteries included environment' for the Lua scripting language on Windows. Lua for Windows combines Lua binaries, Lua libraries with a Lua-capable editor in a single install package for the Microsoft Windows operating system. Lua for Windows contains everything you need to write, run and debug Lua scripts on Windows. A wide variety of libraries and examples are included that are ready to use with Microsoft Windows. Lua for Windows runs on Windows 2000 and newer versions of Windows. Lua and its associated libraries are also available for other operating systems, so most scripts will be automatically cross-platform. Changelog: 08/07/2008 Version 5.1.3.14 + Added an environment variable called "LUA_DEV" to help C module developers configure their build files. This allows for the paths to be common and easily added to the project settings. (e.g. $(LUA_DEV)/include; $(LUA_DEV)/lib) + Added the ability to download the 'vcredist_x86.exe'. * Fixed Visual C++ 8.0 run-time problems. There now has to ba a run-time for every dll loaded. - Removed 'msvcr80.dll' from the root application directory. ^ Updated the Visual C++ 8.0 run-time to SP1. ^ Updated StdLib to version 6. ________________________________________________________________ Legend: '+' = Addition, '*' = Bug Fix, '-' = Removed, '~' = Move, '^' = Updated Download: http://luaforge.net/frs/?group_id=377 Lua for Windows Andrew Wilson Thu, 07 Aug 2008 7:39:53 GMT http://luaforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=1791 (1) All functions receiving string-type regex accept a compiled regex too.
