LuaRT 1.5.2 bugfix released

Samir

Greetings, LuaRT community!

The 1.5.0 version of LuaRT brings a new, more flexible way to program asynchronously rather than using raw Lua coroutines.

In version 1.5.2, several bugs have been fixed (some restrictive, such as crashes caused by scripts compiled using the sleep() function), but there are also many fixes related to the ui module.

It also includes some new features (the Button.textalign, Entry.textalign, and Progressbar.themed properties) and updates (notably, a more difficult access to files in executables created by the rtc compiler).

The documentation has been updated with the latest features since version 1.5.0, and many typos have been corrected. If you find any errors or ambiguities in the documentation, please report them on the forum.

I would be happy to hear your comments, report any bugs, or suggest improvements to LuaRT as usual.

Regards,

Samir

Thanks for the great update. I have installed the new version. Just know I'm testing my modules.

In the new examples you use ui.run(win):wait(). When I start such an example in the LuaRT Studio, the application no longer appears in the task bar. In my database application I put ui.update() infornt of the ui.run(). Tha task manager shows the application. I use windiws 11. Do you have the same "problem"?

It's a bug and will be fixed in next release

Hi Esferatec,

Thank you for this feedback. I did not notice this behaviour. I will check this.

Very strange as the Task created internally by ui.run() just calls Window:show() and then ui.update() in a loop...🤔

ruby

try to see if mingw still work.

make all failed to get quickrt,

but I can use this command in makefile to get quickrt.exe:

@rtc -i ..\..\tools\QuickRT\contrib\quickrt.ico ..\..\tools\QuickRT\src\quickrt.lua -o ..\..\tools\QuickRT\QuickRT.exe ..\..\tools\QuickRT\src >nul 2>&1

$make all

Hi ruby,

Thank you for this. I will fix it.

ruby

trivial eror in example.

since now can not assign string to sel.Font.Size. use integer instead.

examples/sys/word.lua
► sel.Font.Size = "72"
>>> COM error: COM error : unknown error

► sel.Font.Size = 72

► sel.Font.Size
72.0

ruby since now can not assign string to sel.Font.Size. use integer instead.

Very strange, it works on my side... both with QuickRT et LuaRT

Samir

After some research, it may be related to integer size,
What version of LuaRT have you tested the COM example ? x86 or x64 ?

ruby

Samir

x64

downloaded luart wok. my self compiled not work. (just make, should be default x64) gcc version 8.1.0

Samir

Yes it might be compiler related, I will check this thank you for this report Ruby

Samir

I can confirm it's a compiler related bug. It will be fixed in next LuaRT commit
