Hello list! On behalf of the development community at the luarocks-developers mailing list, I'm happy to announce LuaRocks 2.1.2. LuaRocks is a package management system for Lua modules. (For more information, please visit http://luarocks.org )
http://luarocks.org/releases/luarocks-2.1.2.tar.gz http://luarocks.org/releases/luarocks-2.1.2-win32.zip Those of you who installed LuaRocks 2.1.0 or later by using "make bootstrap" on Unix may upgrade by simply running: luarocks install luarocks !!Note!! This release includes a bugfix to the caching feature introduced in version 2.1.1. If your installation of LuaRocks is failing to find recently updated rocks, please delete the cache. On Unix-like systems, this should do it: rm -rf ~/.cache/luarocks/* What's new since 2.1.1: * major improvements in the Windows install.bat script. Now installs by default on standard Windows locations, while the old self-contained all-under-one-dir installation is still supported through an option flag. The documentation at luarocks.org didn't catch up with it yet, so please refer to `install /?` for instructions. * a new command, "luarocks doc <module>" that tries to find any installed documentation. Due to the lack of documentation standards for Lua, this uses a few heuristics. Feedback on the feature is appreciated. * a rocks_provided configuration entry in which you can preload dependencies that are already fulfulled in your system; a few defaults are included (bit32 is auto-provided in Lua 5.2; luabitop is auto-provided in LuaJIT) * generated script wrappers are now more robust * Graceful handling of permission errors on Windows * Minor performance improvements * Support for "named trees", so you can label your rocks trees and use flags such as --tree=system or --tree=user instead of the full path * `luarocks` with no arguments presents more useful diagnostics * Improved Lua detection in Unix installer * plus assorted bugfixes As usual, see the GitHub logs for detailed history and credits. And as always, all kind of feedback is much appreciated. Thank you, enjoy! -- Hisham ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CenturyLink Cloud: The Leader in Enterprise Cloud Services.
