The parser no longer shadows the internal
optparse.versionon_handlerby also saving the last word of the parsedversiontextintooptparse.version.But, we don't want to break existing clients that use the content of the saved
optparse.versionstring either. Since theon_handlerwas never available to callers before due to being shadowed, rename it tooptparse.showversion.
- For consistency with the renaming of
optparse.showversion, similarly renameoptparse.helptooptparse.showhelp. For backwards compatibility,optparse.helpcontinues to be available too, but is now undocumented. Consider using theshowhelpin your projects, especially if you also start usingshowversion.
-
Initial support for Lua 5.4.
-
No need to preinstall
std._debugandstd.normalizefor deployment, of course without runtime checking. In development environments, installedstd._debug,std.strictwill be loaded and used for runtime checks as before.
- Don't hang when option description text contains a '-' character.
- Don't hang when help text has a bare '-' as the first non-whitespace character on the line.
- The implementation now depends upon and requires the luarocks modules
std.normalizeandstd._debug.
-
Don't crash when first unrecognized argument is also a handler name (boolean, file, finished, flag, etc...)
-
Don't hang when help text option table formats long option name on its own line before indented description.
- Update for change in std.strict module path.
optparse._VERSIONis nowoptparse.versionfor consistency with other former stdlib modules.
- If lua-stdlib's
std.debug_initmodule is loadable and has_DEBUG.strictset tofalse, then don't try to load the standalonestrictmodule.
-
Uninstalled
std.debug_initis handled correctly. -
optparse._VERSIONis now documented properly.
- Propagate metatable to parser factory output objects.
- Initial release, now separated out from lua-stdlib.
