Hello everyone,

I released Lapis 1.2.0 this past week. This is a major release with a handful of new features. If you weren't aware, Lapis is a web framework for Lua and MoonScript that is built on top of Nginx/OpenResty. It's a collection of tools for efficiently building and testing web applications.

Lapis powers https://luarocks.org in addition to a handful of other sites. It has been running in production for over 2 years now!

The big highlight for this release is built in support for MySQL. The provided Model classes in addition to all the query builders now work transparently with either PostgreSQL or MySQL. Thanks to Boris Nagaev for the majority of the refactoring.

The documentation also got a makeover, and is better organized for Lua only programmers:
