Musl builds, Docker images, Cleaner errors, Hotreloading, Teal/MoonScript, and much more...

A runtime rewrite built on the Lua C API after months of work, plus lde test --watch, a built-in profiler, LuaJIT v3 syntax, and a much faster startup.

New REPL, Android support, native curl/git/archive libraries, git submodule support, test lifecycle hooks, and more.

Windows C compilation out of the box, watch mode, JSON5 config support, lde sync, macOS x86-64, ffi.load shim, and more.

lpm is now lde. New domain, repository and name while remaining backwards compatible. Expanded LuaRocks support.

Adds LuaRocks dependency support, flat lockfile for transitive deps, a basic REPL, and more lpm-test utilities.

Adds Windows ARM64 support, --help flag, lpm run for single files, new lpm-test assertions, and fixes for Windows upgrade permissions and UTF-8 output.

Adds registry dependency support to lpm install and lpx, a --nightly flag for install scripts, and Aarch64 macOS support.

Launches the lpm package registry with lpm publish, adds lockfile support for reproducible installs, and introduces registry dependencies via lpm add.

Introduces lpm --setup for one-step environment configuration, the lpx convenience wrapper, and simplified install scripts that delegate setup to lpm itself.

Exploring a port of busted, Lua's most popular test runner, to run natively as an lpm tool and what it revealed about lpm's current limitations with luarocks packages.

Adds the bin field in lpm.json for custom entrypoints, bytecode output for lpm bundle, and several bug fixes around stdout/stderr handling and working directory behavior.

Adds lpm install and lpm uninstall for globally available tools, native C module support via LuaJIT exports, and C library bundling in compiled binaries.

Introduces lpm-test, a built-in test runner with test suites and assertions, along with lpm bundle, lpm update and format preservation for lpm add and lpm remove.
