lanes/docs, branch v2.1.0

* fixed potential crash at application shutdown when calling lua_close() on a killed thread's VM.

2011-03-01T20:12:56+00:00

* exposed cancel_test() in the lanes to enable manual testing for cancellation requests. * removed kludgy {globals={threadName}} support, replaced with a new function set_debug_threadname().

Make the number of internal keeper states selectable by an optional parameter passed to require.

2011-02-21T19:33:39+00:00

* keeper.lua is now embedded in text form instead of bytecode to improve LuaJIT2-compatibility (but this is not enough).

2011-02-18T19:33:43+00:00

* moved keeper-related code in a separate source file

Lane userdata implementation refactoring:

2011-02-17T06:52:53+00:00

- Refactor lane proxy implementation: it is now a full userdata instead of a table, and its methods are implemented in C instead of Lua. * its metatable is no longer accessible. * writing to the proxy raises an error. * it is no longer possible to overwrite its join() and cancel() methods - when a deep userdata idfunc requests a module to be required, manually check that it is not loaded before requiring it instead of relying on the require function's loop detection feature. - when a module must be required, raise an error if the 'require' function is not found in the target state. - we know Lanes is loaded in the master state, so we don't force it to be required in every lane too when a linda deep userdata is copied.

Changed idfunc signature and contract to clarify that fact it is not lua-callable and to be able to require the module it was exported from in the target lanes.

Updated CHANGES

2011-01-29T16:40:50+00:00

Fixed makefile so that make finds lua.exe Updated contact information in documentation

Take all code from Asko Kauppi's SVN server, and push it here so that the github repository becomes the official Lanes source codebase.

2011-01-04T20:31:17+00:00

Note that Asko's SVN server holds version 2.0.9, whereas this is version 2.0.10, but I don't see any real need to update SVN if it is to become deprecated. Next steps: - upgrade the rockspec to the latest version - make the html help available online somewhere Signed-off-by: Benoit Germain
