Dear lua community, I hereby announce the 2.2.0 release of lua-bencode.
Project homepage: http://bitbucket.org/wilhelmy/lua-bencode/ Distribution ZIP archive and tarball can be found here: https://bitbucket.org/wilhelmy/lua-bencode/downloads/lua-bencode-2.2.0.zip https://bitbucket.org/wilhelmy/lua-bencode/downloads/lua-bencode-2.2.0.tar.gz as well as my own site: http://ftp.barfooze.de/pub/lua-bencode/lua-bencode-2.2.0.zip http://ftp.barfooze.de/pub/lua-bencode/lua-bencode-2.2.0.tar.gz SHA-256 checksums: SHA256 (lua-bencode-2.2.0.tar.gz) = 25830ff3fe342c09c65995d46c4d89ad0387cc502b1a2f70f9cca2d8c7ccafdd SHA256 (lua-bencode-2.2.0.zip) = ba050f3a2dd8ca7b7de3a4e5ac0a8e28354f05b23b6bdd0ee068748966a59c57 What does it do? ================ Bencoding ("Bittorrent encoding") is a relatively simple data serialisation format. It nicely maps almost 1:1 to lua's data structures. lua-bencode therefore (as you might guess) converts bencoded data to lua data structures and the other way around. What has changed? ================= I've merged in the push implementation of a bencode parser written by Jorge Visca so this module now includes two different parsers, a fast one and an easy to use one (it's comparable to DOM and SAX XML parsers). Jorge also wrote another patch to drop the use of the deprecated "module" function. Additionally, I've finally written documentation for the module API for the non-push parser.

I signed up for a luarocks account but it ended up in a different project. You can find the rockspec here: https://bitbucket.org/wilhelmy/lua-bencode/raw/e42faf52207a78a4986a277419cb737f5fff2a7c/rockspecs/bencode-2.2.0-1.rockspec And this is where my upload ended up: http://luarocks.org/modules/mw/bencode Enjoy, Moritz ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Find and fix application performance issues faster with Applications Manager Applications Manager provides deep performance insights into multiple tiers of your business applications.
