The information in this document applies to version 6.9.8 of Syhunt Hybrid.

Catalunya is a multi-purpose set of Lua extensions developed to be used in Syhunt and the Sandcat Browser. Currently, this library extends Lua with over 60 functions and some useful classes. The project's goal is to make the development of Lua applications in Syhunt easier and to push the boundaries of the Lua language to do innovative things.

In Syhunt and Sandcat, Catalunya is available through the ctk global. For a list of available functions, see below. Each class has a "new" method that must be used for creating the object and a "release" method for freeing it.
