Hi, So it seems I accidentally triggered a chain reaction of Kepler Project releases. :)
Xavante 2.3.0 - Lua Web Server Library: Xavante is a Lua HTTP 1.1 Web server that uses a modular architecture based on URI mapped handlers. http://keplerproject.github.io/xavante/ luarocks install xavante WSAPI 1.6 - Lua Web Server API: WSAPI is an API that abstracts the web server from Lua web applications. http://keplerproject.github.io/wsapi/ luarocks install wsapi luarocks install wsapi-fcgi luarocks install wsapi-xavante Copas 1.2.0 - Copas is a dispatcher based on coroutines that can be used by TCP/IP servers. It uses LuaSocket as the interface with the TCP/IP stack. http://keplerproject.github.io/copas/ luarocks install copas Coxpcall 1.14.0 - Coroutine safe xpcall and pcall http://keplerproject.github.io/coxpcall/ luarocks install coxpcall And also from the previous email, Rings 1.3.0 - Rings is a library which provides a way to create new Lua states from within Lua. http://keplerproject.github.io/rings/ luarocks install rings (Further build and installation instructions are available from the various links above.) Credits go to Fabio Mascarenhas who went through the work of porting all those packages to Lua 5.2 in the beginning of the year, and to everyone who submitted features and bugfixes that went into these releases. Why now: Back then we wanted to release them all, but we were blocked by the absence of a Lua-5.2-compatible release of LuaSocket. The updated Kepler packages sat dormant in Github since then. Today I received a bug report that a rockspec was outdated and found the new version in the Github repository, and went updating them and following the dependency chain, until I got to LuaSocket. Since LuaSocket 3.0-rc1 seems to be the "de facto" release (even Linux distributions are picking it up and packaging it as a release!) I decided to just go ahead and add it to the stable LuaRocks repository and call it a day. The confusion of having something called "-rc1" in the stable repository will surely be smaller that the confusion users go through when find no version of LuaSocket for 5.2 in the stable repo. I also updated a bunch of documentation pages and links at the http://keplerproject.org front page. Hope Fabio doesn't get mad at me for getting those releases out now, but I think it will take a while for him to notice since he's now busy with his newly born baby boy (kudos to you Fabio, these releases are in your honor :) ). -- Hisham ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DreamFactory - Open Source REST & JSON Services for HTML5 & Native Apps OAuth, Users, Roles, SQL, NoSQL, BLOB Storage and External API Access Free app hosting.
