Hello, Lua users,
There is a new release of LuaCOM, version 1.3 beta, at
http://www.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/~rcerq/luacom.
* What is LuaCOM?
LuaCOM is an add-on library to the Lua language (http://www.lua.org)
that allows Lua programs to use and implement objects that follow
the Microsoft's Component Object Model (COM) specification and
the ActiveX technology for property access and method calls.
LuaCOM is implemented as a C++ library, and can be statically linked to
an application or loaded at runtime. LuaCOM is provided with its source code
and the makefiles required to build it, and works with both Lua 4 and Lua 5.
* Availability
LuaCOM is freely available for both academic and commercial
purposes and can be downloaded from the site below:
http://www.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/~rcerq/luacom/
* What is new in version 1.3b
Conversion tag/metamethod for tables;
Representation of dates using tables;
More than one event sink can now be connected to an object;
New method of type libraries returned by GetTypeInfo exports all
enumerations of the library to a table;
Registered servers can now be removed from registry (unregistration);
Identifies when an interface pointer is in fact a local Lua table
implementing a COM object, returning the table instead of a proxy to
the interface pointer;
Fixed a memory leak with some out parameters;
Removed ending line break in system exceptions.
* Contacting the authors
LuaCOM has been designed and implemented by Vinicius Almendra and
Renato Cerqueira, and is maintained by Fabio Mascarenhas.
