馃殌 When version 1.11.5b1

What's New

Many enhancements for the Lua interpreter embedded in whenever:

  • the APPDATA/whenever folder now contains a lua subfolder that is used for modules that will be available to the Lua interpreter,
  • two new tools are provided: --install-lua and --upgrade-lua, to respectively add and update Lua modules in the dedicated folder,
  • the Lua interpreter is now properly initialized to correctly search for modules when using the require keyword in the provided scripts.

Note that only pure Lua modules are normally supported by whenever, therefore When will refuse to install binary extensions.

What's Better

Minor fixes include:

  • some log messages provided by When are now more appropriate and aligned with whenever behavior
  • some typos have been fixed in translations and in the documentation.

Instructions
