Hi there,

I just saw your pull request. Coincidentally, I've worked a bit on
LuaCov last week for the first time in a few years. IIRC, Norman
Clarke had done some work after 0.1 too, I think, but we never made a
release (so that's the updated code you see in Github). I'll commit my
changes and then we can coordinate a merge and a subsequent release.
I've only seen your pull request email so I haven't looked at the code
yet but it looks like you made a number of improvements -- excellent!
I only added a summary list to the report as I'm using it to write a
basic test suite for LuaRocks. Good to see the tool having some use,
let's get a new release done!

Thanks,
