LuaRT 0.9.9 released

Samir

Dear LuaRT Community,

Since LuaRT has matured up to a certain level, this release is the final step before going open source.

The most important new feature is that a 64-bit version of the interpreter is available. The COM object wraps COM components from Windows, which opens the door to new third-party functionality. New examples demonstrate its use.

With the "-e" option, the LuaRT interpreter now enables you to execute statements directly from the command line.

Currently, I am polishing LuaRT before moving to version 1.0. A new website with updated documentation is on the way.
Work on LuaRT studio, the LuaRT IDE, is progressing well, with a release in the near future.

In the meantime, be well and enjoy this version of LuaRT.

Here are the main changes since version 0.9.8 :

[ NEW ] LuaRT is now available for x64 and x86 Windows systems
[ NEW ] New global _ARCH variable that holds LuaRT interpreter architecture ("x64" or "x86")
[ NEW ] New sys.COM object added to interact with Microsoft Component Object Model
[ NEW ] New examples illustrating the new sys.COM object : json.lua, speech.lua, shortcut.lua
[ NEW ] New LuaRT interpreter option "-e" to execute a Lua statement from the command line

[ UPDATED ] LuaRT interpreter now accepts UTF8/UNICODE characters as arguments
[ UPDATED ] Global _VERSION variable now holds full LuaRT version string
[ UPDATED ] Now qrcode.wlua example can now save the generated QRCODE

[ BUG FIXED ] ComboItem:remove(), ListItem:remove(), TabItem:remove() are now working as expected
[ BUG FIXED ] Window shortcuts are now calling the binded function correctly
[ BUG FIXED ] TabItem:remove() now gives focus to the next remaining TabItem
[ BUG FIXED ] Path registry key is no more corrupted during LuaRT installation
[ BUG FIXED ] ComboItem, TabItem, TreeItem, ListItem and MenuItem objects are no more available from ui module

A pretty vicious bug crashing the x64 interpreter in case of Lua error has been fixed.
You can download the updated version and reinstall x64 LuaRT in the same location (no need to uninstall the previous version).

well i have one question about LuaRT Studio
Is there a way to move the Output and Console window at the bottom to the right side?

Samir

Yes it's possible.
Drag and then drop the Output tab outside the Window to make it independent then drag it again where you want it to be positioned in the LuaRT Studio IDE.

Then do the same for the Local console tab.

It should work.

[Login to see the link] i tried that. S ymbol, Project items move but Output and Local console do not. interesting

Samir

You are certainly right, I remember now that those tabs are fixed..sorry...only the project panel, the symbols panel, the watch panel and the stack panel are moveable.
