Changelog

hslua-module-system uses PVP Versioning.

hslua-module-system-1.2.2

Released 2025-08-09.

• Fix compilation error.

hslua-module-system-1.2.2

Released 2025-08-09.

• Lists of file paths now have a "FilePath list" metatable that add list methods.

hslua-module-system-1.2.1.1

Released 2025-07-23.

• Fixed the docstring of exists.

hslua-module-system-1.2.1

Released 2025-07-23.

• Add new function exists, which allows to check the existance and, optionally, type of a filesystem object at the given path.

hslua-module-system-1.2.0

Released 2025-06-23.

• Added new functions read_file and write_file: These are convenience functions that makes it easier to work with UTF-8 encoded filenames. The functions in the Lua standard library expect filenames encoded in the system's codepage, often leading to subtle bugs.

• Added new functions cp, rename, and rm, which can be used similar to the functions in the os standard library, but expect paths to be given as UTF-8 instead of a file system specific encoding.

• Added new function times: the function allows to obtain the modification time and access time of a file or directory.

• Added new function xdg: this function gives easy access to XDG directories and search paths.

• Fixed module export list: the function cmd was only added to the Lua module, but not exported from the Haskell module. Instead, HsLua.Core.run was erroneously reexported.

hslua-module-system-1.1.3

Released 2025-05-21.

• Improved docs for the os field.

• Added new function cmd that runs system commands.

• Moved CHANGELOG.md to the extra-doc-files field in the cabal file and also added README.md to that field.

hslua-module-system-1.1.2

Released 2024-05-28.

• Fixed error handling in with_wd: exceptions when changing directories are now properly converted to Lua errors.

hslua-module-system-1.1.1

Released 2024-01-18.

• Relaxed upper bound for text, allowing text-2.1.

hslua-module-system-1.1.0.1

Released 2023-03-26.

• Improve doc strings.

hslua-module-system-1.1.0

• Update to hslua-2.3; this includes the addition of type initializers to the module and type specifiers to the fields.

hslua-module-system-1.0.3

Released 2023-02-14.

• Added new function cputime and field cputime_precision, e.g. for benchmarking.

hslua-module-system-1.0.2

Released 2022-02-19.

• Adjusted package bounds, for hslua-core and hslua-packaging.

hslua-module-system-1.0.1

Released 2022-01-29.

• Relaxed upper bound of hslua-core, hslua-marshalling, and hslua-packaging, allowing their respective version 2.1.

hslua-module-system-1.0.0

Released 2021-10-21.

• Use hslua 2.0.

hslua-module-system-0.2.2.1

Released 2020-10-16.

• Relaxed upper bound for hslua, allow hslua-1.3.*.

hslua-module-system-0.2.2

Released 2020-08-15.

• Relaxed upper bound for hslua, allow hslua-1.2.*.
• Improved documentation of internal types.
• Use tasty-lua for unit tests.
• Update CI to test with all GHC versions.

hslua-module-system-0.2.1

Released 2019-05-04.

• Use module helpers made available with HsLua 1.0.3. This avoids code duplication when used with other hslua modules.

hslua-module-system-0.2.0

Released 2019-05-01.

All fields and functions are now exported from the Haskell module under the same name as that used in Lua.

• os: operating system.

New functions

• mkdir: create a new directory.
• rmdir: remove a directory.
• with_env: perform action with custom environment.
• with_wd: perform action in another directory.
