[ANN] LuaRocks 0.5.1

[Hisham <hisham.hm@...>]

Hi,

Announcing release 0.5.1 of LuaRocks, the system for deployment and
management of Lua modules.

This is a bugfix release, fixing glitches reported since release 0.5.
Thanks to everyone who reported issues. A few new features were also
added.

In this release:
* Added function get_rock_from_module in luarocks.require, allowing
apps to inspect which rock they're getting modules from.
* Added variables LUA, LIB_EXTENSION and OBJ_EXTENSION, now available
for rockspec authors.
* Assorted bugfixes, especially for the Windows package.
* Build system improvements: add DESTDIR variable to makefile to make
things easier for distros packaging LuaRocks.

Download links and documentation are available at http://www.luarocks.org

Cheers,
