Hi everyone,

I'm pleased to announce the release of version 0.3 of linotify, a Lua
binding to Linux's inotify facility.  You can find the tarball
containing the code here:

https://github.com/hoelzro/linotify/archive/0.3.tar.gz

As you would probably expect, the Git repository for the code is here:

https://github.com/hoelzro/linotify

You can install it via LuaRocks, but there's also a handy Makefile for
building code the old fashioned way.

Version 0.3 includes the ability to use linotify in a non-blocking
manner as well as a fileno method on inotify handles so you can hook it
up to an event loop.  Most importantly, however, is the removal of the
global 'inotify' table, which was deprecated in 0.2.
