Global Variable "REPENTOGON"⚓︎

This global variable exposes functions and variables about Repentogon, such as the current version, the changelog etc. It is a table.

This variable can be accessed anywhere.

Functions⚓︎

All functions in the table are static: they are accessed using the dot (.) operator, rather than the colon (:) operator.

MeetsVersion ()⚓︎

boolean MeetsVersion ( string version )⚓︎

Checks whether the specified version is greater or equal to the currently installed Repentogon version.

The function splits the version parameter alongside numbers boudaries. Each token produced by the split is compared against the corresponding token in the Repentogon version string. The function returns as soon as: * The token in version is strictly lower than the corresponding token in REPENTOGON.Version. The function returns false. * The token in version is strictly greater than the corresponding token in REPENTOGON.Version. The function returns true. * All tokens are consumed. The function returns true as the requested version exactly matches the current Repentogon version.

If REPENTOGON.Version equals "dev build", the function always returns true.

-- Assume REPENTOGON.Version = "1.0.9a"
REPENTOGON.MeetsVersion("1.0.8b") -- False
--[[ 1 is compared against 1: they are equal so continue.
0 is compared against 0: they are equal so continue.
8 is compared against 9: it's lower so return false. --]]

REPENTOGON.MeetsVersion("1.0.9") -- True
--[[ 1 is compared against 1, 0 is compared against 0, 9 is compared against 
9: all are equals, all tokens are consumed: return true.
Note that the letter is silently discarded. --]]

REPENTOGON.MeetsVersion("2") -- True
--[[ 2 is compared against 1: it's higher, so return true. --]]

REPENTOGON.MeetsVersion("1.12") -- True
--[[ 1 is compared against 1: they are equal so continue.
12 is compared against 0: it's greater so return true. --]]

REPENTOGON.MeetsVersion("1c1") -- True
--[[ 1 is compared against 1: they are equal so continue.
1 is compared against 0: it's greater so return true. --]]
