[ANN] Lua-Núcleo 0.0.6

[Alexander Gladysh <agladysh@...>]

Announcing Lua-Núcleo 0.0.6 — our own katamari-style[1] Lua library
(under MIT license).

This release includes some important fixes to serialization functions.

Full list of changes:

I'm not sure if this library in its current state would be directly
useful to anyone outside of our own ecosystem[2]. But, still, it may
serve as a reference in some areas. Points of general interest are,
probably, tstr()[3], tserialize()[4] and tdeepequals()[5]. Also, a
module for two-tier coroutines[6] (or, rather, system- and userspace-
yields). Most of other stuff is also useful. :) No docs yet, though,
sorry.

Eventually we plan to write documentation and split most of Lua-Núcleo
to a set of saner modules.

Anyway, if you find something useful and/or want it as a separate
module — poke me. Any feedback welcome.

[1] — "Swiss-army knife" seems to offend Swiss people (probably
rightfully), and this is clearly not a "batteries" kind of library, as
it covers the field in quite random spots. So, I'm trying to coin a
new term.
[2] — Also, some of more universally useful rocks (like json2lua) do
depend on it.
