1Changes in version 0.4
2======================
3
4Released on 2013/12/07.
5
6* Cope with the lack of AM_PROG_AR in configure.ac, which first
7  appeared in Automake 1.11.2.  Fixes a problem in Ubuntu 10.04
8  LTS, which appears stuck in 1.11.1.
9
10* Stopped shipping an Atffile.  The only supported way to run the tests
11  is via Kyua.
12
13Interface changes:
14
15* Issue 5: New methods added to the state class: open_all.
16
17* Removed default parameter values from all state methods and all
18  standalone operations.  It is often unclear what the default value is
19  given that it depends on the specific Lua operation.  Being explicit
20  on the caller side is clearer.
21
22* Modified operations do_file and do_string to support passing a number
23  of arguments to the loaded chunks and an error handler to the backing
24  pcall call.
25
26
27Changes in version 0.3
28======================
29
30Released on 2013/06/14.
31
32* Issue 1: Added support for Lua 5.2 while maintaining support for Lua
33  5.1.  Applications using Lutok can be modified to use the new
34  interface in this new version and thus support both Lua releases.
35  However, because of incompatible changes to the Lua API, this release
36  of Lutok is incompatible with previous releases as well.
37
38* Issue 3: Tweaked configure to look for Lua using the pkg-config names
39  lua-5.2 and lua-5.1.  These are the names used by FreeBSD.
40
41Interface changes:
42
43* New global constants: registry_index.
44
45* New methods added to the state class: get_global_table.
46
47* Removed global constants: globals_index.

56
57* New methods added to the state class: get_metafield, get_metatable,
58  insert, push_value, raw_get and raw_set.
