Changelog

1.1.0 stable 2026-09-30

Relicensed as MIT OR Apache-2.0 and built on l3i 1.1.0.

Changed

• Relicensed from GPL-3.0 to MIT OR Apache-2.0: this is the first release under the new terms, and releases up to and including 1.0.0 stay GPL.
• l3i 1.1.0 comes from crates.io; the @dream/path module is unchanged.

1.0.0 stable 2026-09-29

First stable release: the Luau API is an l3i extension providing @dream/path, normalization is faster, and the Rust and Luau APIs are under semver.

Breaking changes

• The lua feature binds the crate as an l3i extension, lua::PathExtension, providing the module @dream/path. create_module, register_module, register_module_as and the standalone-lua feature are gone with mlua.
• Building with the lua feature needs l3i’s toolchain: clang, lld and cross-language thin LTO.
• Rust 1.92.

Changed

• An already-normalized path is copied as one block, and the rest folded without branches: a normalized 56-byte key costs 36 ns instead of 91 ns.
• A Luau call reads its path as a borrowed view and normalizes into a per-thread buffer, allocating nothing after warm-up; calls take about half as long as with mlua.
• The definitions check and the strict-script test build behind the luau-analysis feature (cargo test --features luau-analysis); cargo test --features lua does not build Luau’s analysis frontend.
• l3i 1.0.0 comes from crates.io.

Migration

Compose dream_path::lua::PathExtension into the host’s RuntimePlan. A host that still wants the dreamPath global adds RuntimePolicy::compat_global("@dream/path", "dreamPath"). The functions and their results are unchanged.

0.2.0 stable 2026-09-26

The Lua API runs on Luau, with camelCase names.

Breaking changes

• The Lua bindings build against mlua 0.12 and Luau. standalone-lua now selects Luau.
• Lua functions are camelCase (fileName, isUtf8), and the module’s name is dreamPath.

Added

• isNormalized in Lua.

0.1.3 stable 2026-04-27

Breaking changes

• The ByteSlice re-export is gone; use dream_path::bstr::ByteSlice.

Added

• bstr is re-exported as dream_path::bstr, so dependents can name its types without depending on it.

0.1.2 stable 2026-04-27

Changed

• Rust 1.87, and newer bstr and mlua.

Fixed

• The crate documentation no longer links the Lua API when the lua feature is off.

0.1.1 stable 2026-04-27

Added

• bstr::ByteSlice is re-exported.

Changed

• The lua feature no longer picks a Lua runtime: the host chooses one through its own mlua. standalone-lua selects vendored LuaJIT.

0.1.0 stable 2026-04-26

First release: one normalization for virtual resource paths, and NormalizedPath to store it.

Added

• normalize_path, normalize_path_owned, normalize_path_in_place and normalize_path_into.
• NormalizedPath, an owned key that normalizes on construction and looks up by borrowed bytes.
• is_normalized_path, and parent, file_name and extension over normalized bytes.
• Lua bindings through mlua and LuaJIT, behind the lua feature.
