Shine has just released a new version of LUA Player for the popular, and easiest, homebrew scripting language for the PSP: LUA. Developers, rejoice, even more LUA options to work with. Shine also plans to add PSPGL in the next release, the PSP's version of OpenGL (3D graphics); awesome! Great work on this release, Shine!



Features/fixes in v0.20 include:
- Updated for gcc 4.1 and Lua 5.1. Some things you need to change for 5.1:
- Changed table iteration code:
- It's pure Lua 5.1: no binary operators and double as number type (e.g. now you can use one number for storing IP addresses)
- Sound.load doesn't crash anymore on invalid filenames
- Fixed problems with daylight saving time
- Font:getTextSize fixed.
- blit operation from screen to image works now
- TTF font plotting to images now sets the alpha value to opaque
- New function Image.loadFromMemory for loading images from memory
- PNG and JPEG is supported and autodetected
- Image-to-image blitting now uses alpha full blending [Callum Bethune]
- System.rename(oldName, newName) for renaming files and directories
