Lua Player .20 released!

[cools]

Lua Player .20 has been released!

new stuff:
v0.20
==========
- updated for gcc 4.1 and Lua 5.1. Some things you need to change for 5.1:
- change table iteration code:
"for i, value in someTable do" to
"for i, value in ipairs(someTable) do"
(but use "pairs" for tables like "t={foo=bar, foobar=99}"
and "ipairs" for tables like "t={foo, bar}")
- it's pure Lua 5.1: no binary operators and double as number type
(e.g. now you can use one number for storing IP addresses)
- Sound.load doesn't crash any more on invalid filenames
- fixed problems with daylight saving time
- Font:getTextSize fixed. Test case:
proportional = Font.createProportional()
proportional:setPixelSize s(0,8)
test = proportional:getTextSize( 'some text')
assert(test.width == 39)
assert(test.height == 6)
- blit operation from screen to image works now, e.g.:
screenrint(10, 10, "hello", Color.new(255,255,255))
image = Image.createEmpty(480, 272)
image:blit(0, 0, screen, 480, 272, 480, 272, true)
and now you have an "image" with the text "hello"
- TTF font plotting to images now sets the alpha value to opaque, so
you can write e.g. something like this for buffering texts in images:
image = Image.createEmpty(400, 200)
proportional = Font.createProportional()
proportional:setPixelSize s(0, 16)
image:fontPrint(proportio nal, 0, 20, 'Hello', Color.new(0, 255, 0))
screen:blit(0, 0, image)
screen:blit(3, 3, image)
- new function Image.loadFromMemory for loading images from memory:
jpegFile = io.open("test.jpg", "rb")
data = jpegFile:read("*a")
jpegFile:close()
image = Image.loadFromMemory(data )
PNG and JPEG is supported and autodetected
- image-to-image blitting now uses alpha full blending [Callum Bethune]
- System.rename(oldName, newName) for renaming files and directories

Wait eh?
What are you talking about?

[PopcOrn DeVil]

It'll be compatible with 2.XX if you get the modchip :).

you proved hax0rs point - just another post to add onto your ridiculously high post count

What youresam said was fairly easy to understand. What was the point of asking "What?" other than to squeeze an extra post in.

B10tch s1@pp3d mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmkay..... .

lol, anyway, i like new LuaPlayers, and since there apps adn games from them are usually open-source, i can see different technques and aspects of coding, but not having a Computer LUAplayer as same version ruins it for me...

Cool, I was having trouble with the old one's, maybe this one will work better!

Judging by the changelog, this one should be a lot more stable.

Thanks for bearing with us guys, I'm not sure why this hasn't been front-paged yet. I was away yesterday at a football/soccer match - England v Jamaica. Quite eventful, England won 6-0!

I've put it through now, should be on the front page soon.
