ChaiScript

ChaiScript is the first and only embedded scripting language designed from the ground up with C++ compatibility in mind. It is an ECMAScript-inspired, embedded functional-like language.

What is new in this release:

• This version is in the C++11 series, supporting gcc and llvm.
• It adds support for automatic conversion of arithmetic types when possible and when no ambiguous method dispatch exists.
• Initial support for MinGW 4.7 with C++11 (ChaiScript 5.2.0) has been added.

What is new in version 5.1.0:

• Much improved error reporting
• Autosizing of integers now matches the C++ standard
• u, l, ll, f suffixes added to numeric constants

What is new in version 5.0.0:

• ChaiScript 5.0.0 requires a C++11-compliant compiler.
• Either clang 3.1 or g++ 4.5 currently work.
• This release completely drops the need for Boost.
• The ChaiScript standard library can now (optionally) be compiled separately, cutting compile time in half.
• Much better runtime error reporting is now available.
• Performance has increased by about 25%.

What is new in version 3.1.0:

• Numeric operations performance has increased approximately 10x.
• Looping operations performance has increased up to 2x.
• Engine start up time has decreased.
• Several parsing bugs related to index operators have been fixed.
• Full support has been added for all C algebraic types: double, long double, float, int, long, char, uint8_t, uint16_t, uint32_t, uint64_t, int8_t, int16_t, int32_t, and int64_t. Enhanced support for capturing of exceptions thrown from ChaiScript in C++.

What is new in version 3.0.0:

• Major code reorganization, bugfixes, and updates.
• Automatic conversions between ChaiScript functions and boost::function optinos.
• Function introspection support.
• Improved const support.
• Improved object lifetime during script execution.
• Rewritten documentation.
• 30% more unit tests.
• Improved support for clang, VS2010, and 64-bit environments.
• Command line options have been added to chai eval.

What is new in version 2.3.2:

• Fixes to support VS 2010
• Bugfixes for swap and vector initialization

What is new in version 2.3.1:

• Fixed compilation in Visual Studio 2008
• Fixed compilation in MinGW

What is new in version 2.3:

• Saving and restoring script engine state
• Object type introspection
• Intelligent int types
• 5-10% speedup
• Bugfixes for array lookups, single-line comments, and const return values.

What is new in version 2.1:

• Bit shifting operators ''.
• Generic comparison functions 'eq', 'lt', and 'gt'.
• Simplified method aliasing.
• Operator overloading.
• Bugfixes.
