LuaEdit 2010 3.0.9 Released
Posted on 03.29.2012 by Jean-François Goulet

In this release of LuaEdit 2010, we brought major changes in our licensing. While the client-side (the IDE itself) will remain licensed under GPL, the server-side (the actual debugger) will be licensed under LGPL to allow for redistribution of commercial products with the debugger.

Also, LuaEdit 2010 is now connected to a MySQL database to allow checking for updates and logging data in crash reports to target bugs faster and more efficiently.

Finally, in the next release, we should have a fixed version of our rdbg*.lib static libraries in regards to crashes associated with memory mis-alignment due to differences in the size of lua_State struct between LuaEdit's version and native Lua's version.

LuaEdit 2010 pre-alpha released!
Posted on 09.06.2009 by Jean-François Goulet

After many hours of hard work, LuaEdit 2010 has finally reached a point in its development where it is stable enough to be released to the public.

This version of LuaEdit 2010 is certainly not final, since many features are not yet available. For a brief list of these features, you may consult the project task list on LuaForge.

This version features both local and remote debugging, solution/project management, breakpoints, bookmarks, locals and output streaming. We hope you will enjoy what you see in this early release of LuaEdit 2010.

We have many plans for future versions of LuaEdit 2010 and unlike many other Lua IDEs, LuaEdit strives to remain a free software. Your contribution to the project would be greatly appreciated. By providing us feedback, suggestions and bug reports, you play a very important role in the software's development.
