wxLua 5.0.2 has been released.

This new release of wxLua used Lua 5.0.1 and wxWidgets 2.4.2 (stable).
As you would expect wxLua is more than just a GUI wrapper, it also provides
device context support for drawing onto windows, printing, Html and FTP
protocol support together with low level socket support. As wxLua uses
wxWidgets, each supported platform (Windows, GTK/Linux, MAC OS/X) uses
native widgets and so can produce good looking GUIs on including theme
support. MAC OS/X support is very premliminary at this stage because the
wxWidgets MAC layer is not as developed as the Windows and GTK support.
Thanks go to Eric Wing for developing this support.
On Windows, loadable module support (i.e. wxLua is also shipped as a DLL)
has been added that allows wxLua to be shared with other modules, however
note the usual restriction: the Lua DLL must be shared with all modules that
are to be loaded.

Paul.
