Release Notes

Version 2.3 beta

All Models: New operation memberof(class, name) that gets the value of a member defined by a class;

New Classes

loop.collection.MapWithArrayOfKeys

loop.collection.OrderedSet

loop.debug.Inspector

Improvement to support commands step, step "in" and step "out";
Improvement to support definition of break points;
Improvement to support command lua to retrieve values from the Lua global environment, i.e. _G;

loop.debug.Matcher

Improvement to hold the values being compared at indexes 0 (second parameter) and 1 (first parameter) to be able to provide better error messages;

loop.debug.Verbose

Bugfix when default inspection (self.inspect = true) was used;
Bugfix to use a specific Viewer instance to avoid changing the behavior of the class loop.debug.Viewer;

loop.object.Exception

loop.serial.FileStreamer

Bugfix when multiple values were serialized into a file using different put calls;

loop.serial.Serializer

Bugfix for proper serialization of global non-serializable functions;
Bugfix to show a proper error message when attempting to serialize a userdata without custom serialization metamethod;
Bugfix so all fields of loaded packages that have unique values (i.e. tables, functions, threads or userdata) are serialized as package fields instead of ordinary serializable values;
Improvement so serialized code generated by redefined serialization functions for specific Lua types does not have to follow any protocol anymore. However, to avoid future serialization of the same value the a value retrieval code must be registered in the serializer using the serialized value as key;

loop.thread.CoSocket

Bugfix when operation send yielded due to a full buffer;
Bugfix in select to prevent wrong socket selection;
Bugfix in select when executed without yielding and returned sockets instead of socket wrappers;
Improvement by use of package socket.core instead of socket package;
Improvement by addition of cosocket verbose tag as a new level of verbose in loop.thread.Scheduler verbose;

loop.thread.IOScheduler

Bugfix to prevent duplicated verbose message already printed by the super class.;

loop.thread.Scheduler

Bugfix in remove(coroutine) when coroutine == self.currentkey;
Bugfix in constructor that created instances that shared data structures used by the class. The new constructor also allows objects that already are instance of the class to be constructed again perserving its state;
Bugfix when coroutine-safe pcall executed C functions;
Improvement in remove(coroutine) to return the removed coroutine plus the time it should wake up if it was suspended;
Improvement by addition of method halt() that stops the scheduling performed by method run();

loop.thread.Timer

loop.table

Bugfix in function clear(table) when table contained a false key;
Improvement in function copy(table [, destiny]) that now performs a raw copy, i.e. using rawset;

precompiler.lua and preloader.lua

These scripts now support new command-line options but their current implementation require class loop.compiler.Arguments to handle these options properly (see instructions here);
