Dear LuaRT Community,
LuaRT 0.9.5 is now available, and can be downloaded at [Login to see the link].
With this release, we have taken a step closer to major features like the ability to compile Lua scripts into executables (the setup file is entirely written in LuaRT and is compiled into an executable by using an internal version of the compiler).
The main feature is static versions of the console and desktop interpreters, eliminating the dependency on Lua54.dll. Using binary third-party modules, however, is at your own risk with these static interpreters.
Besides the usual bug fixes, there are some neat additions (the ability to load "ttf" fonts, to load icons from filesystem associations, or the ability to change the console's font). Beware with the File.filename property now changed to File.name property.
The [Login to see the link] has been updated accordingly and a lot of typos, errors (bad links) have been fixed.
Please feel free to post any feedback or bug reports.
