I am happy to announce the release of Stdlib 34,
General Lua Libraries.
- stdlib is moving towards supporting separate requirement of individual
modules, without scribbling on the global environment; the work is not
yet complete, but we're collecting tests along the way to ensure that
once it is all working, it will carry on working;
- there are some requirement loops between modules, so not everything can
be required independently just now;
- `require "std"` will continue to inject std symbols into the system
tables for backwards compatibility;
- stdlib no longer ships a copy of Specl, which you will need to install
separately if you want to run the bundled tests;
- getopt supports parsing of undefined options; useful for programs that
wrap other programs;
- getopt.Option constructor is no longer used, pass a plain Lua table of
options, and getopt will do the rest;
Install it as luarock stdlib-34 (see http://luarocks.org/repositories/rocks
)
Most simply:
luarocks install stdlib
(You may need to wait a while after this announcement lands before the
rocks are available.)
