What's new in Agena

Version 2.16.10:

The new function `os.gettemppath` retrieves the path of the directory designated for temporary files.
The new function `io.maxopenfiles` returns the maximum number of open files allowed on your system, or sets (Windows only) the maximum number of files that are allowed to be opened simultaneously.
`os.fcopy` now accepts a third optional argument, a Boolean, which indicates whether to simply overwrite existing files or issue an error. The default is `false`: issue an error.
If a second argument is passed to `os.execute`, then the function executes an operating system command and returns its output as one string. (See also `io.pcall`.)
Improved error messages of `io.lines`.
`os.mkstemp` has been renamed to `io.mkstemp`. An alias has been provided to ensure backward compatibility.
Corrected description of `os.mkstemp` in the Primer & Reference. Also updated Appendix A1 Operators.
The new C API function `agnL_readlines` reads in a file or pipe and pushes its entire contents or output as a string onto the top of the stack.
The new C API function `agnL_pexecute` executes an operating system command and puts the output - a string - onto the top of the stack.
