Changelog

hslua-packaging uses PVP Versioning.

hslua-packaging-2.3.1

Released 2024-01-18.

• Relaxed upper bound for text and containers, allowing text-2.1, and containers-0.7.

hslua-packaging-2.3.0

Released 2023-03-13.

• Type initializers as part of Module records. This allows to associate types with a module. For performance reasons, the types are not initialized when the module is pushed, but only on first use. However, the documentation Lua object for each module now has an additional field types. The new field contains a function that returns the names of all associated types. Calling the function will also initialize these types, thereby making the respective metatables available in the registry.

• Field records now have an additional fieldType entry. [API change]

• The pushUD function is now specialized to documented types.

• Export initType. The function ensures that the metatable of a type has been fully initialized. This can be helpful when the default method of lazy initialization is not desired, e.g. when the type object is to be inspected or extended.

• Re-export udDocs, udTypeSpec, allowing to generate typing info for userdata classes.

hslua-packaging-2.2.1

Release 2022-06-19.

• Require hslua-core-2.2.1.

• Require hslua-marshalling-2.2.1.

• Require hslua-objectorientation-2.2.1.

hslua-packaging-2.2.0.1

Released 2022-05-20.

• Relax upper bound for mtl, allow mtl-2.3.

hslua-packaging-2.2.0

Released 2022-02-19.

• Require versions 2.2 for hslua-core, hslua-marshalling, hslua-objectorientation.

hslua-packaging-2.1.0

Released 2022-01-29.

• Added function documentation: The documented function documentation is added and exported from module HsLua.Packaging.Documentation. It allows to retrieve the documentation of a given Lua object.

  This replaces pushDocumentationFunction, which was removed.

• Cleanup of Function module:

  • docsField was moved to module Documentation.
  • pushDocumentation is renamed to getdocumentation and moved to the Documentation module. It now returns the Lua type of the retrieved documentation value.

• Function registerDocumentation was changed: the documentation is no longer passed in but must be at the top of the stack.

• New functions pushModuleDoc, and pushFunctionDoc, pushing structured documentation objects for models and functions, respectively.

• Provide function opt to make a parameter optional. The function optionalParameter is deprecated, use opt (parameter ...) instead.

• Added function udresult; it defines a function result and is analogous to the existing udparam function.

• Added module Convenience, which defines many functions to make the definition of parameters and results easier for the most common types.

• Pushing a documented module now also registers the module's documentation.

• The module HsLua.Packaging.Rendering has been deprecated. It is no longer exported as part of HsLua.Packaging and must be imported explicitly if needed. It may be removed in the future. Use Lua objects retrievable with getdocumentation together with a custom renderer instead.

• Update to hslua-objectorientation-2.1.0. Lists are now writable. This entails a change to deftype'. See the changelog of hslua-objectorientation for details.

• Update to hslua-core 2.1.0 and hslua-marshalling 2.1.0.

hslua-packaging-2.0.0

Released 2021-10-21.

• Initially created. Contains modules previously found in the modules Foreign.Lua.Call and Foreign.Lua.Module from hslua-1.3.

• Moved module hierarchy from Foreign.Lua to HsLua.

• Added support for a “since” tag on documented functions; allows to mark the library version when a function was introduced in its present form.

• Improved syntax for the creation of documented functions.

• Documentation for functions is now stored in Lua; a method to access it is available as a HaskellFunction.
