21-Feb-2010 A few minor changes now allow passing additional arguments to images and links. This allows e.g. Javascript galleries to be embedded into a LOona site. The syntax is [[title][link][extra arguments]], where extra arguments may contain HTML attributes. Also, image alt tags are now derived from their respective file names - If you don't like this, override the alt tag with the following notation: @@/image.png@alt="Alternative Text"@. These features are otherwise undocumented and not official yet. For a new site using these facilities, check the Esaka Dojo Berlin site, which is also present in the updated gallery section.
31-Jan-2009 To substantiate its fitness for uses in embedded systems and microcontrollers, I tested LOona with the Boa webserver today. There was a small change needed in the Request class to get it to work, because Boa cannot identify CGIs by extension, and they must be placed in a CGI directory. Otherwise it did fine, although I had to generate session Ids from the system time. (For deployments in embedded applications, the login feature should be disabled anyway.)
25-Oct-2008 Fixed severe bugs in the browser language detection routine.
12-Sep-2008 The UTF-8-to-form encoder has been written in C, which gave a major speed improvement. (Thanks to the Lua C API buffer feature this job was accomplished in astonishing 10 minutes.) Also, a few changes have been merged in from the tekUI project, which shares a few modules with LOona.
