- Subject: [ANN] lpty 1.0

Hi,
this message is to announce the availability of lpty 1.0. lpty is a simple
interface to pty functionality, providing the ability to fork a process and run
it under pty control. It does not try to mimic the posix API but instead focuses
on the function of running and controlling a program.
New since version 0.9:
- does not register a global table "lpty" on loading any more, because it is
now...
- compatible with lua 5.1 and 5.2
- new exitstatus() method, which can provide information about why a child
process terminated
- new flush() method, that removes unwanted data from the pty
- custom environments for processes, and 2 new methods to deal with those
- an option on pty creation time to start child processes using the contents of
the PATH environment variable - or not
- the makefile has been made somewhat more usable
- the documentation has received a makeover
You can get lpty from http://www.tset.de/lpty
or via luarocks install lpty.
Rgds,
Gunnar
