G'day,
[Note: The same message is being posted, but not cross-posted,
on iup-users and lua-l. This is the iup-users post.]
I'm pleased to announce the release of lglicua-0.1-alpha8. The
tarball of the sources is on SourceForge, as well as the
Git-managed sources.
lglicua at SourceForge:
This release adds new features:
- Supports Lua 5.4.6, released 14 May 2023;
- Supports Rocky GNU/Linux 9.2, released 16 May 2023;
- Supports distributions with GNU/Linux Kernel 6.x, notably MX21.3.
The Assistant fixes the breakage by overriding the Repository's
"tecmake.mak" for each project, as it is built.
- As a result of the Lua 5.4.5 kerfuffle, as well as a result of
increased flexibility due to Lua installations always coming from
source compilation, the installer can specify a lua patchlevel,
e.g. "./i lua-install 5.4.4".
----
- An interesting new facility is lua compile-time patches. This was
prompted by the excellent patch posted by David Sicilia in March.
I've reworked the patch to be based on Lua-5.4.6, rather than the
Git repository:
PROJECT/install$ ./i lua-install 5.4+continue
Multiple patches can be applied (although this is untested).
Patches may not always apply; the Assistant provides a way of
selecting patches with more precision.
The Lua Version/Copyright line is edited to identify patching,
e.g. from:
Lua 5.4.6 Copyright (C) 1994-2012 Lua.org, PUC-Rio
to:
Lua 5.4.6 +continue Copyright (C) 1994-2012 Lua.org, PUC-Rio
----
Many thanks to those who helped with this release. (No thanks to
SourceForge's Markdown facility, which still does baffling things
at times.)
cheers,
