0.9.39 - 01 Sep 2015

Minimum OS X version: 10.8

Core

  • The build system for extensions has changed from our custom Makefile/script setup, to Xcode. This should not produce any noticeable changes for users, but if it does, please file issues at GitHub!
  • Almost all extensions are now making extensive use of our LuaSkin framework for registering their functions with Lua, and calling Lua callbacks. This should also not produce any noticeable changes for users, but if it does, please file issues at GitHub!
  • Many of the userdata objects created by extensions, now have __tostring methods, which makes inspecting them in the Hammerspoon Console, easier.
