Hello list!

On behalf of the development community at the luarocks-developers
mailing list, I'm happy to announce LuaRocks 2.2.0. LuaRocks is a
package management system for Lua modules. (For more information,
please visit http://luarocks.org )

http://luarocks.org/releases/luarocks-2.2.0.tar.gz
http://luarocks.org/releases/luarocks-2.2.0-win32.zip

Those of you who installed LuaRocks 2.1.0 or later by using "make bootstrap" on
Unix may upgrade by simply running:

luarocks install luarocks

What's new since 2.1.2:

* MoonRocks is the new default repository: http://rocks.moonscript.org
- Rocks don't need to be sent to the LuaRocks mailing list anymore,
you can upload them directly at the website or using...
* ...`luarocks upload` command for uploading rocks to MoonRocks via
the command-line
* Preliminary support for Lua 5.3
* No longer uses the module() function, for Lua 5.2 installations
built without Lua 5.1 compatibility
* --branch flag for `luarocks build` and `luarocks make`
* various improvements in `luarocks doc` command
* "git+http" transport for source.url

As usual, see the GitHub logs for detailed history and credits. And as
always, all kind of feedback is much appreciated.

Thank you, enjoy!
