Lua 5.1.2 and other news
Add comment May 27th, 2007
Lua 5.1.2 was recently released, and the next release of Luabridge will be written against it. There don’t seem to be any actual changes needed to Luabridge, as 5.1.2 was a bug-fix release.
I’ve also updated the Luabridge MSVC project files to work against the Lua project files available from luabinaries. This is the closest thing to standard project files, since the Lua official releases don’t include them. The luabinaries project files have a small bug, though (or maybe it’s a bug in Lua itself): luac doesn’t compile out-of-the-box; you have to export a couple of internal symbols before it’ll work.
In other news, I’m working on adding support for more of the basic C++ features to Luabridge. Expect static functions and const functions in the next release, which should be coming sometime this summer. (Sorry I can’t work faster, but I’ve got a day job.) Maybe properties too.
The next release will also have project files for both MSVC 7.1 (VS 2003) and MSVC 8 (VS 2005).
