Due to a persistent spammer, I am turning off comments on this site. The new site has a proper spam filter installed, so comments are still available over there.

Premake 3.3 is now available! Read on for a complete changelog.

Premake 3.2 is now available! Changes in this release include:

• Support for the Code::Blocks IDE
• Updated support for MonoDevelop
• Lua scripting engine upgraded to version 5.0.3
• The list of packages is now available to scripts via the _PACKAGES global
• New function matchdirs()
• Bug #1470395: optimize-speed error from VS2005
• Bug #1559873: libpaths inserts extra space after -L

Support for the free Code::Blocks IDE has just been checked into SVN, for the upcoming 3.2 release.

I have finished moving the project back to the comfortable confines of SourceForge. If you’ve been working from the Berlios Subversion repository you will need to switch to the SourceForge repository. I have also taken this opportunity to significantly upgrade the website. Hope you like it!

With that out of the way, I have started working on the next release. My current plans include support for Code::Blocks, plus some catch-up work on the MonoDevelop and SharpDevelop generators. I will also try to hit some of the requested enhancements while I’m in the code (but patches are always welcome!)
