New vs Old Interface

[rvirding]

No, there is absolutely no difference in the internal state between the 'old' and 'new' interfaces! So you can quite happily mix using the old and new interfaces.

The reason I did a new interface is just just that I think it is a better interface. The function names are more logical and the return values are better and more usable. So my plan is in v2 (when it comes out) to rename the new interface in the module luerl_new to luerl and become the standard and rename the current luerl module to luerl_old. Hopefully this would make it easy to convert programs using the current interface to using it in the future.

That's my plan anyway.

EDIT: You can actually already do this as the luerl_old.erl module already exists.

Thanks Robert, this makes a lot of sense. I'll focus on playing with the new interface :-)
