Full Changelog: v1.5...v1.6-2

LogLua v1.6-2 Release

This version solidifies LogLua as a stable, modular, and production-ready logging library, with a major focus on static typing and visual documentation.

Key Changes

• Bug Fixes:

  • Resolved an issue where require("loglua") would automatically trigger the help menu.
  • Fixed a string manipulation error when loading the module via LuaRocks/Path objects.
  • Fixed log.debug to return immediately when debug mode is inactive (zero overhead).

• Documentation & Visualization:

  • New modular documentation in the docs folder featuring Mermaid flowcharts detailing Auto Grouping, Live Mode, and the internal architecture.
  • Main README refactored into a Quick Start focusing on what sets LogLua apart from a standard print().

• Developer Experience (DX):

  • Full support for LuaLS (Lua Language Server) via definition files in library. Now includes autocomplete, type checking, and inline examples.
  • Help API (log.help()) refactored with lazy loading for topics and better CLI integration.

• Infrastructure & Testing:

  • Expanded test suite to 21 cases using Busted, now covering section filters, ANSI colors, and custom headers.
  • Updated Rockspec (v1.6-2) to correctly include all submodules, constants, and utilities.

Installation

luarocks install loglua

Quick Example
