Improvements in the handling of signals

2020-05-22T14:40:34+00:00

Added 'volatile' to 'l_signalT' variables plus some minor changes.

Default for warnings changed to "off"

2019-08-20T16:42:26+00:00

Warnings are mostly a tool to help developers (e.g., by showing hidden
error messages); regular users usually don't need to see them.

Added control messages to warnings

2019-08-15T16:44:36+00:00

Added the concept of control messages to the warning system, plus the
implementation of the controls "@on"/"@off" to turn warnings on/off.
Moreover, the warning system in the test library adds some other
controls to ease the test of warnings.

Removed use of 'rl_inhibit_completion' in 'lua.c'

2018-08-16T17:38:05+00:00

Some old systems (e.g., Mac OS X 10.4) do not define
'rl_inhibit_completion', even when line history is available.
Anyway, the user can configure this option externally, using '~/.inputrc'.

some extra goodies for 'readline'

2018-03-16T14:23:08+00:00

('rl_readline_name' and 'rl_inhibit_completion')

better modularization of the code for the REPL

2018-03-06T20:30:17+00:00

GC default mode for the stand-alone interpreter is generational mode

2018-02-06T15:32:36+00:00

include first standard header files

2017-05-24T21:11:19+00:00

(Some broken compiler has problems with 'signal.h' being included
without a definition for 'size_t'.)

detail in usage message for '-l' option

2017-04-19T12:49:17+00:00

Handling of LUA_PATH/LUA_CPATH moved back to 'package' library

2017-01-12T17:14:26+00:00

to avoid incompatibilites with previous releases
