Release v0.7.2

NOTE: This article was made before the rebrand to lde. Just replace lpm with lde.

Upgrade to the latest version with lpm upgrade!

Windows ARM64 support

lpm now ships with a native Windows ARM64 build. It’s included in the standard install script, so no extra steps needed:

irm https://lde.sh/install.ps1 | iex

--help flag

You can now pass --help to get usage information, as an alternative to running lpm with no arguments:

lpm --help

lpm run outside of a project

lpm run now accepts a file path directly, so you can run a Lua file without being inside an lpm project:

lpm run ./myscript.lua

--version flag for install scripts

The install scripts now accept a --version flag to install a specific release:

# Linux
curl -fsSL https://lde.sh/install | sh -s -- --version 0.7.2

# Windows
irm https://lde.sh/install.ps1 | iex -Args --version, 0.7.2

New lpm-test assertions

Several new assertion functions have been added to lpm-test:

test.truthy(value)
test.falsy(value)
test.includes(haystack, needle)
test.greater(a, b)
test.less(a, b)
test.greaterEqual(a, b)
test.lessEqual(a, b)
test.count(table) -- returns number of entries

Bug fixes

• Windows upgrade permissions — fixed a permissions error when lpm upgrade tried to replace its own executable on Windows.
• Windows UTF-8 output — UTF-8 console output is now enabled on startup, fixing garbled characters in Windows terminals.

Renamed field: package → name

The field used for package aliases in your project config has been renamed from package to name. Update your lpm.json if you’re using this field.
