* raise an error if lane generator libs specification contains a lib more than once * bit32 is a valid lib name in the libs specification (silently ignored by the Lua 5.1 build) * improved lanes.nameof to search inside table- and userdata- metatables for an object's name * fixed an unwarranted error when trying to discover a function name upon a failed transfer * contents of package.[path,cpath,preload,loaders|searchers] are pulled *only once* inside keeper states at initialisation * Lua function upvalues equal to the global environment aren't copied by value, but bound to the destination's global environment especially useful for Lua 5.2 _ENV * fixed loading of base libraries that didn't create the global tables when built for Lua 5.2

version 3.4.0

2012-09-26T19:22:30+00:00

* new method linda:dump() that outputs the full contents of a linda as a table, also linked to __towatch for Decoda support * linda:receive() API change! * instead of [val, key], linda:receive( timeout, key) returns [key, val] * instead of [val, [...]], linda:receive( timeout, linda.batched key) returns [key, val[, ...]] this is to unify the return values of regular and batched mode, and to be able to tell when batched mode is interrupted by a lane cancellation * fixed Lua 5.2 build to take into account the "loaders"->"searchers" name change in 'package' module. * a bit of html cleanup and added some infos in the documentation regarding the Lanes internals

version 3.3.0

2012-09-10T18:41:03+00:00

* lane.status can return "killed" if lane was forcefully killed with lanes:cancel() * lane:join(): return nil, "killed" if called on a killed lane. * lane[]: produces [1] = nil, [2] = "killed" if the lane was killed * lane:join(): fixed an assertion in debug builds when joining a lane forcefully cancelled with lane:cancel( , true). * indexing a lane with a string other than "join", "cancel" or "status" raises an error. * fixed configure() to correctly apply defaults when they are missing from the provided settings * added a shutdown_timeout to control the duration Lanes will wait for graceful termination of running lanes at application shutdown. Default is 0.25. Among other things, fixes issue #31.

lanes version 3.2.0

2012-08-22T19:36:37+00:00

* keeper internals implemented in C instead of Lua for better performances * fixed arguments checks in linda:limit() and linda:set()
