Hi there, Here's a preview release of LuaRocks 2.0.13, which features bugfixes and new features. In particular, this feature includes a number of Windows improvements, written mainly by Thijs Schreijer.
The goal of this release is to improve the out-of-the-box experience on Windows and to make using LuaRocks with both Lua 5.1 and 5.2 at the same time easier on Unix. This is a release candidate: if no problems are reported, these packages will be renamed into the final versions. http://luarocks.org/releases/luarocks-2.0.13-rc1.tar.gz http://luarocks.org/releases/luarocks-2.0.13-rc1-win32.zip What's new since 2.0.12: * Support for Lua 5.2 is no longer marked as experimental * Support for installing two instances of LuaRocks, for Lua 5.1 and 5.2, in parallel * Improvements for the 'builtin' build mode on Windows * rclauncher on Windows does not rely on a precompiled object anymore * Improvements for the Windows installer, including optional registry entries for context-menu operations * Improvements in 'luarocks new_version` command for autogenerating updated rockspecs * 'luarocks remove' command accepts As usual, see the GitHub logs for detailed history. And as always, any kind of feedback for this release candidate is much appreciated. -- Hisham http://hisham.hm/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Precog is a next-generation analytics platform capable of advanced analytics on semi-structured data.
