Version 1.1

  • LuaCOM is now compatible with Lua 4 and Lua 5. It's just a matter of linking with the right library;

  • when used with Lua 5, LuaCOM uses booleans to better match the Automation types;

  • all functions of LuaCOM's Lua API are now grouped together in a single table called luacom, although they are still accessible globally as luacom_<function> in the Lua 4 version of the library;

  • now it's possible to create instances of Microsoft© Office© applications (Excel©, Powerpoint© etc.). It was only possible to use them via GetObject; now you can create a new instance of these applications using luacom.CreateObject;

  • when compiled with the NDEBUG flag, LuaCOM does not use any kind of terminal output anymore (printf, cout etc). This could break some applications.
