New & Noteworthy 1.2
Add a library documentation to a project
since 1.2M1
By adding a .doclua file describing an API in Lua Documentation Language in your project source path, you will have auto-completion for described API.
Screenshoot
- Script explorer containing a
docluafile - Editor with auto-completion on the lib described in the
docluafile.
Debugging fix and enhancements
since 1.2M1
Here are some fixes to improve debugging experience and troubleshooting:
- Avoid a crash when evaluating an expression from the watch view.
- Use of interpreter's
LUA_PATHifLUA_PATHenvironment variable is not available. - The debugger now logs his version and his connection status.
- Better error logging during remote debug sessions.
Screenshoot A screen of the debuggers logs in the consoleView ?
Extending a type
since 1.2M1
Using the @extend keyword in a module or type will extend it with all fields and functions of given super type.
See detailed documentation.
Screenshoot Show auto-completion on a super field just after the @extend keyword.
Handling table field
since 1.2M1
On a variable documented with type #table, its fields are now displayed in the outline and available from auto-completion.
Screenshoot
- After a local variable commented with -- #table initialized with a function define some
Rename
since 1.2M1
Pressing ALT+SHIFT+R on a Lua variable enables to rename it and all its occurrences.
Screenshoot
- While renaming a variable with occurrences
Integration of Metalua 0.7.2
since 1.2M1
LDT is now based on Metalua 0.7.2.
