dottrap

  declarations for global variables
  for-loop variables are read only
  floats are printed in decimal with enough digits to be read back correctly.
  more levels for constructors
  table.create
  utf8.offset returns also final position of character
  external strings (that use memory not managed by Lua)
  new functions luaL_openselectedlibs and luaL_makeseed
  major collections done incrementally
  more compact arrays (large arrays use about 60% less memory)
  lua.c loads 'readline' dynamically
  static (fixed) binaries (when loading a binary chunk in memory, Lua can reuse its original memory in some of the internal structures)
  dump and undump reuse all strings
  auxiliary buffer reuses buffer when it creates final string

    One day, a valid argument was made that basic 2D triangles are pretty powerful in themselves for not much more code, and it notably makes wiring the excellent Dear Imgui library to an SDL app nice and clean. Even here I was ready to push back but the always-amazing Sylvain Becker showed up not just with a full implementation but also with the software rendering additions and I could fight no longer. In it went.
