Typos in comments and details in the manual.

Stop GC while building initial state

2022-11-23T17:17:28+00:00

Bug: lua.c assumes that argv has at least one element

2022-02-07T13:16:35+00:00

Option '-l' can give a name for the global variable.

2021-08-16T16:57:19+00:00

Sintax for this option now is '-l [globname=]modname'.

Avoid using 'signal' when 'sigaction' is available

2020-11-24T17:41:50+00:00

The semantics of 'signal' varies a lot among different implementations;
'sigaction' ensures a more consistent behavior.

_PROMPT can have non-string values

2020-10-26T14:15:51+00:00

'get_prompt' uses 'luaL_tolstring' to convert _PROMPT or _PROMPT2
value to a string. That conversion may invoke a '__tostring'
metamethod.

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'.
