Alas. It says v1.2.0 is the version where they added rolling file appending, yet the latest downloadable release is 1.1.4 .

Did not realize it would be an OS-dependent issue. Target device is WinCE 5.

No idea if it has any kind of log rotate functionality, or how I might implement it in Lua.

The LuaLogging module [1] has support for this. It is called a "rolling file appender". I really like to use it for logging in general.
