- Subject: [ANN] luaposix 34.1 released

A library binding various POSIX APIs. POSIX is the IEEE Portable
Operating System Interface standard. luaposix is based on lposix.
I am happy to announce release 34.1 of luaposix.
If you have moved to the new low-level APIs, and don't rely on the Lua
backwards compatibility layer and convenience functions, you can safely
omit those dependencies and use the C layer only.
luaposix's home page is at https://github.com/luaposix/luaposix/, with
documentation at https://luaposix.github.io/luaposix.
## Noteworthy changes in release 34.1 (2019-07-20) [stable]
### Bugs Fixed
- `luke` works with upgraded bootstrap luarocks version of `require`.
- `posix.glob.glob` does not return a random errno on failure now,
but
new module constants `GLOB_ABORTED`, `GLOB_NOMATCH` or
`GLOB_NOSPACE`.
- `posix.deprecated.clock_getres` and
`posix.deprecated.clock_gettime`
work again.
### New Features
- `posix.glob.glob` supports now module constants as a second
argument: `GLOB_NOCHECK` and `GLOB_ERR`.
- `posix.sys.socket` now supports IPV6 link-local addresses.
- use `std.strict`, `std._debug` and `typecheck` modules when
available, otherwise behave normally without those additional
runtime checks.
Install it with LuaRocks, using:
luarocks install luaposix 34.1
