[ANN] lyaml 5 released

[Gary Vaughan <gary@...>]

libYAML binding for Lua

I am happy to announce release 5 of lyaml.

lyaml's home page is at http://github.com/gvvaughan/lyaml

This release cleans up all known bugs, and finishes the partial
implementation of `lyaml.dump` from the previous release.

* Noteworthy changes in release 5 (2014-09-25) [beta]

** Build:

  - Significantly reduced pointer mismatch warnings from modern GNU
    compilers.

** New Features:

  - `lyaml.dump` now takes a second argument containing a table of
    potential anchor values in `ANCHOR_NAME = { "match", "elements" }`
    pairs format.  The first time any are matched in the table being
    dumped, they are preceded by `&ANCHOR_NAME` in the output YAML
    document; subsequent matches are not written out in full, but
    shortened to the appropriate `*ANCHOR_NAME` alias.

** Bugs Fixed:

  - `yaml.emitter` no longer emits numbers in SINGLE_QUOTE style by
    default.

  - `yaml.emitter ().emit` returns error strings correctly for invalid
    STREAM_START encoding, and MAPPING_START, SEQUENCE_START & SCALAR
    style fields.
