Hi,

this message is to announce the availability of version 1.4 of lsocket, another
take of a socket programming library for lua.

It is not intended to be a complete socket api, but easy to use and good enough
for most tasks. Both IPv4 and IPv6 are supported, as well as unix domain
sockets, tcp and udp, and also IPv4 broadcasts and IPv6 multicasts. Also, almost
completely nonblocking.

Changes since 1.3:

- Lua 5.3 compatibility (or rather, some cleanup in the number handling department)
- socket fd's are checked against FD_SETSIZE now in select()
- changed build type to make
- converted all documentation to markdown
- fixed bug: send and sendto would not correctly return false on timeout (patch by 云风)

You can get lsocket from http://www.tset.de/lsocket

or via luarocks install lsocket.

Rgds,

Gunnar
