Small change in scope of variables in repeat-until

2026-07-23T16:58:30+00:00

A close instruction is still inside the scope of the variables it is closing. The extra close in a repeat-until (to close variables before repeating the loop) was being coded outside that scope.

Vertical bar removed from syntax of vararg table

2025-10-30T14:07:01+00:00

The syntax 'function foo (a, b, ...arg)' is already used by JavaScript for this same semantics, so it seems natural to use the same notation in Lua.

Optimization for vararg tables

2025-09-24T21:33:08+00:00

A vararg table can be virtual. If the vararg table is used only as a base in indexing expressions, the code does not need to create an actual table for it. Instead, it compiles the indexing expressions into direct accesses to the internal vararg data.

Variable attributes can prefix name list

2025-05-18T14:43:43+00:00

In this format, the attribute applies to all names in the list; e.g. "global print, require, math".

Collective declaration for globals ('global *')

Removed copyright notice from 'testes/all.lua'

2025-03-12T17:00:58+00:00

All test files refer to the main copyright notice in 'lua.h'.

'__close' gets no error object if there is no error

2025-02-28T13:10:27+00:00

Instead of receiving nil as a second argument, __close metamethods are called with just one argument when there are no errors.

Auxiliary buffer uses external strings

2023-11-13T16:12:33+00:00

The buffer system from the auxiliary library reuses its buffer as external memory when closing long strings.
