The list of changes since previous 0.3 version:

- Changed handling of enums and bitflags, switched from marshaling
  them as numbers to prefering strings for enums and tables (sets or
  lists) for bitflags.  Numeric values still work for Lua->C
  marshalling, but backward compatibility is broken in C->Lua enum and
  bitflags marshalling.
- Compatible with Lua 5.2 and LuaJIT
- Added standardized way for overrides to handle constructor argument
  table array part.
- Existing Gtk overrides reworked and improved, there is now a way to
  describe and create widget hierarchies in Lua-friendly way.  See
  `docs/gtk.lua`, chapter about `Gtk.Container` for overview and
  samples.
- Various bugfixes and portability fixes.
