This version of Lune contains a major internal refactoring of the require function, now using the proper require-by-string APIs exposed by Luau. If you relied on any (incorrect) behavior of relative, non-@self requires, from within init.luau files in Lune 0.9.0, you may need to update your code. No other usages of require will be affected - but if you previously encountered any internal bugs or panics during require, these will have been fixed!

Added

• Added support for TCP client in the net standard library. It may be used either with TLS or not, and basic usage looks as such:

  -- Plain TCP connections
  local stream = net.tcp.connect("example.com", 80)
  
  -- TLS connections (shorthand)
  local tlsStream = net.tcp.connect("example.com", 443, true)
  
  -- Connections with custom TLS setting & TTL
  local customStream = net.tcp.connect("192.168.1.100", 8080, {
  	  tls = false,
  	  ttl = 128
  })
  
  -- Interacting with the stream
  tlsStream:write("GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: example.com\r\n\r\n")
  
  while true do
      local data = tlsStream:read()
      if data ~= nil then
          print(data)
      else
          break -- Connection was closed
      end
  end
  

• Added submodules to the net standard library: http, tcp, and ws.

  These will be the preferred way of interacting with the net standard library going forward, but none of the old functions have been removed or deprecated yet to allow users time to migrate.

  In a future major version of Lune, direct functions such as net.socket will be removed in favor of their equivalent functions in submodules, such as net.ws.connect. Here is the full new list of functions:

  • net.http.request
  • net.http.serve
  • net.tcp.connect
  • net.ws.connect

• Added a method with_lib to the Runtime struct in the lune crate, to allow registering custom libraries.

Changed

• Updated to Luau version 0.682
• Upgraded to mlua version 0.11 - if you use any of the Lune crates as a dependency, you may also need to upgrade

Fixed

• Fixed errors being emitted twice when the error is thrown from the main (entrypoint) script
• Fixed a panic when calling net.request and related functions in the main body of a module during require
• Fixed various issues with not conforming to the new Luau require-by-string semantics
