Soupault 4.6.0 is available for download from my own server and from GitHub releases. It improves error reporting for configs with duplicate option names and adds a bunch of useful plugin API functions.

New features and improvements

New plugin API functions

Sys.getenv(name, default_value) function (default_value is optional).
String.ends_with(string, suffix).
String.is_valid_utf8(string) and String.is_valid_ascii(string) functions.
Table.length(table) — returns the number of items in a table.
Table.for_all(func, table) — checks if boolean function func is true for all items in a table.
Table.for_any(func, table) — checks if boolean function func is true for at least one item in a table.
Table.is_empty(t) — returns true if t has no items in it.
Table.copy(t) — returns a copy of the table t.
HTML.is_empty(e) — returns true if e has zero child nodes.
HTML.is_root(e) — returns true if e has no parent node.
HTML.is_document(e) — returns true if e is a soup (document) node rather than an element or a text.
Value.is_html(v) — returns true is v is an HTML document or node.

Bug fixes

Fixed an unhandled OTOML exception when loading configs with duplicate key names (such issues generate proper parse errors now).
