- Subject: [ANN] Lua Signal Library Version 1.100
- From: Patrick Donnelly <batrick@...>

Hi List,
I've released the next version of the Lua signal library, version
1.100. The new release brings safer and more "correct" handling of
signals. List of changes:
o All Lua threads now have a hook so the signal handler may run.
Assuming the main Lua state opens the signal library, all new threads
will inherit the debug hook. I have measured a typical penalty of ~5%
which I view as acceptable.
o Solaris now will include the kill function.
o sigaction is used when available.
I will upload the new version to luaforge when able (it is currently
down for me). For now I plan to keep a new permanent address at [1].
