News : The level of daily SPAM has reached insane proportions, all registrations are now manual.
I ask you to send me an e-mail (john (at) murga (dot) org), to confirm that you want me to create an account for you.
As many of you will know it's been an interesting time for me recently.
However, things do seem to be getting better and I keep on getting requests for an updated murgaLua.
The reality is that I have been updating it, but it's never tidy enough to release.
Anyway, here at long last is a release candidate for the next version.
Highlights are :
+ LuaJit2 everywhere
+ UTF8 support everywhere
+ A web server, Markdown, JSON and other new APIs
+ Updates everywhere, including FLTK 1.3 with UTF8, tables, etc
+ A few cool APIs, including Chrome like multi-threading-ish :-)
+ Different editions, non-GUI (nano and core), and GUI (lite and full)
And the snapshot contains builds for Windows, MacOs, i386 Linux, Raspberry Pi and Android Debian HF.
Release notes and docs will follow, until then please look in the tests folder.
Excellent news! I'm putting most of my energy on an animation project for the next couple of weeks, but i'm definitely going to get into this afterward.
I've been intending to get a Raspberry Pi soon to maybe replace my old desktop server...this is more encouragement to do that.

You will see your demo running on it
I ported that over to FLTK 1.3 (minimal work).
Performance on the Pi is actually quite good, thanks to LuaJit.
Wow! The tables look amazing. It's so cool to to write a modern GUI app (tree, grids and everything!) and have it run on Linux and Windows without having to install, symlink, or upgrade anything.
OSX is just unix dipped in cocoa. I wonder what a Linux cloaked in a couple hundred GUI scripts would be?
Is there any chance you might include LuaSQL ODBC support? (~80k) SQLite is great for small applets but sometimes you need to interface to one of the big db engines, either as a quick and dirty utility, or as a cross-platform utility to a dedicated app.

There are some LuaJIT bindings which are good for that, I'll probably do a demo using the MySql one I used a while back.
Unfortunately LuaSQL ODBC is a real pain to build in a true cross platform way and would amount to a lot more than 80k (I did try).
There a huge amount of features in MurgaLua, so I really want to clearly document them and fix any bugs you guys may find before thinking about next steps.
Is there a compatible luac? I've tried 5.1.4, 5.1.5, and 5.0 and all produce bytecode that murgaLua complains about "cannot load incompatible bytecode"
