Hello Lua hackers,

lgi 0.7.1 was released.  As usual, it is available either
from its github homepage[1], [2], luarocks (by 'luarocks install lgi'), 
or it might be available in your favorite distribution.  Note that since
github stopped file upload service, tarball download now works only
using tag-archive download.

lgi is gobject-introspection based dynamic Lua binding to GObject
libraries. It allows using GObject-based libraries directly from Lua. If
it sounds gibberish to you, ten simply said it allows easy usage of GTK+
and similar libraries from Lua.

This is service, bugfix release, mainly fixing bug which caused crash of Awesome WM during its start.  See full changelist at the bottom.

Any comments or other feedback will be greatly appreciated, use github
issue tracker [3] for reporting bugs.

Happy hacking!
Pavel
