0.8.0

Breaking Changes

• The Lune CLI now uses subcommands instead of flag options:
  

  • lune script_name arg1 arg2 arg3 -> lune run script_name arg1 arg2 arg3
  • lune --list -> lune list
  • lune --setup -> lune setup

  This unfortunately hurts ergonomics for quickly running scripts but is a necessary change to allow us to add more commands, such as the new build subcommand.

• The createdAt, modifiedAt, and accessedAt properties returned from fs.metadata are now DateTime values instead of numbers.

• The Lune struct has been renamed to Runtime in the Lune rust crate.

Added

• Added support for compiling single Lune scripts into standalone executables! (#140)

  Example usage:

  -- my_cool_script.luau
  print("Hello, standalone!")

  > lune build my_cool_script.luau
  # Creates `my_cool_script.exe` (Windows) or `my_cool_script` (macOS / Linux)

  > ./my_cool_script.exe # Windows
  > ./my_cool_script # macOS / Linux
  > "Hello, standalone!"

  To compile scripts that use require and reference multiple files, a bundler such as darklua should preferrably be used. You may also distribute files alongside the standalone binary, they will still be able to be require-d. This limitation will be lifted in the future and Lune will automatically bundle any referenced scripts.

• Added support for path aliases using .luaurc config files!

  For full documentation and reference, check out the official Luau RFC, but here's a quick example:

  // .luaurc
  {
    "aliases": {
      "modules": "./some/long/path/to/modules"
    }
  }

  -- ./some/long/path/to/modules/foo.luau
  return { World = "World!" }
  
  -- ./anywhere/you/want/my_script.luau
  local mod = require("@modules/foo")
  print("Hello, " .. mod.World)

• Added support for multiple values for a single query, and multiple values for a single header, in net.request. This is a part of the HTTP specification that is not widely used but that may be useful in certain cases. To clarify:

  • Single values remain unchanged and will work exactly the same as before.
    

    -- https://example.com/?foo=bar&baz=qux
    local net = require("@lune/net")
    net.request({
        url = "example.com",
        query = {
            foo = "bar",
            baz = "qux",
        }
    })

  • Multiple values on a single query / header are represented as an ordered array of strings.
    

    -- https://example.com/?foo=first&foo=second&foo=third&bar=baz
    local net = require("@lune/net")
    net.request({
        url = "example.com",
        query = {
            foo = { "first", "second", "third" },
            bar = "baz",
        }
    })

Changed

• Update to Luau version 0.606.

Fixed

• Fixed the print and warn global functions yielding the thread, preventing them from being used in places such as the callback to table.sort.
• Fixed the overwrite option for fs.move not correctly removing existing files / directories. (#133)
