New & Noteworthy 1.1
Lighter Documentation
since 1.1M1
It is now possible to describe code with significantly less documentation. We analyze the code, filling documentation blanks from it, making documentation more fluent.
Code analysis
since 1.1M1
Tables are a key concept of Lua. It is mandatory for Koneki LDT to handle them right to enable you to code at ease.
Table Detection
since 1.1M1
We managed to summarize #table
s nicely in outline. It is obviously now possible to enjoy table content.
- Fields
- Functions or Methods
- Nested tables
Note:' If you click on #table
fields, you will get code navigation to their definition.
Module Detection
since 1.1M1
Turn your table into a module quite simple: it is simply return it. As below.
Completion Enhancements
Completion trigger enhancement
since 1.1M2
Auto-completion is now available just after a table index have been called or invoked. White spaces after or before dots and colons are also supported and will not break auto-completion anymore.
More globals variables are suggested
since 1.1M2
On auto-completion, globals variables from the others files in the buildpath (also called sourcepath) of your project will be suggested but at a lower relevance than the others variables. Be careful that the globals variables may not be initialized where suggested, using it without safe checks may thrown runtime errors.
Note: The suggestion of globals from others files can be disabled in the Lua preference page. Disabling this feature can enhance global performances.
Natural Completion On Strings
since 1.1M1
It now possible to trigger completion on #string
variable without using the string
module. You have completion for mystring:sub(...)
.
#string
variable from assignment#string
variable from explicit typingBetter Error Handling
since 1.1M1
To speed up syntax error troubleshooting, the output given is now the Lua 5.1 interpreter one. During the process, syntax error detection became about 10 times faster.
Formatter Defaults
since 1.1M1
For a better out of the box experience, formatter now uses Lua's 2 spaces indentation standard by default.
Formatter Enhancements
since 1.1M2
The formatter is smarter when formating Lua expression written on several lines.
Template of Execution Enthronement can contains more than one file
since 1.1M2
The Execution Environment archive format has changed to allow to create projects initialized with default folders and files. Existing Execution Environments using the old archive format are still supported. See the Execution Environment tutorial.
Debugger Introspection Extensibility
since 1.1M2
The debugger can now be extended to decode custom user data. See the custom debugger introspection tutorial for further details. As explained in the tutorial, the inspector for LuaJIT user-data is shipped in the product.
Lua Shebang
since 1.1M2
The Lua shebang is now supported by the Lua Editor.
Smarter Auto Close
since 1.1M1
Auto close got smarter and feels more natural. It is a silent improvement. If you did not notice it, it indicates it works just fine.
