Hello everyone,<br>
<br>
I have just noticed that RGP Lua/macOS now supports the command
io.popen for all direct system accesses.<br>
This was not possible in JW Lua/macOS - only on Windows (see old
issue from 2016 below).<br>
That's great news! <br>
<br>
This can reduce the number of false positive alerts from antivirus
software when io.popen is used instead of os.execute.<br>
On Windows I can confirm that this already improved the antivirus
behaviour.<br>

Hi Jari,<br>
<br>
currently I am testing my plugins on cross-platform compatibility
and I noticed two problems on MacOS (the plugin development was
done on Windows):<br>
<br>
1.) io.popen seems to be not supported by JW Lua on MacOS.<br>
From what I have read in some forums this might be an issue of an
older 5.2 Lua release for MacOS.<br>
It was recommended to compile with the latest 5.2 Lua release
where the issue should have been fixed.<br>
See for example:<br>
