[ANN] eLua 0.4 released

["Bogdan Marinescu" <bogdan.marinescu@...>]

eLua is an effort to bring the Lua programming language in the
embedded world (MCUs). It is meant to be a complete MCU development
environment. It currently runs on a number of ARM variants, as well as
Cortex (and i386 as a proof of concept). Version 0.4 was just
released, this is the changelog:

* Added support for LPC2888 (preliminary)
* Added PWM module
* New samples: TV-B-Gone (power off your TV), piano (play piano from
your PC keyboard), pwmled (fade led on/off), all based on the new PWM
module
* Added support for multiple memory spaces (this can be used to take
advantage of both the internal CPU RAM and external RAM chips on board
that have external RAM)
* Autorun: if "autorun.lua" is found in the filesystem, it is executed
before starting the shell
* Added "pack" (binary data packing/unpacking) and "bit" (binary
operatinos) modules
* Build system updated, easier to use, now it knows how to handle
"boards" as well as CPUs
* Modified the existing platform modules to take less RAM and to
report an error when an unavailable resource is requested
* Project documentation updated
