Hello list,

Announcing version 3.2.0 of LuaRocks, the Lua package manager.
You can find all links at https://luarocks.org
— source packages for all supported platforms and binaries for
Windows and Linux x86-64 are available.

LuaRocks 3.2.0 now uses argument parsing based on argparse
instead of a homegrown parser. This was implemented by Paul
Ouellette as his Google Summer of Code project, mentored by
Daurnimator.

Release highlights:

* Bugfix: luarocks path does not change the order of pre-existing path
items when prepending or appending to path variables
* Bugfix: fix directory detection on the Mac
* When building with --force-config, LuaRocks now never uses the
"project" directory, but only the forced configuration
* Lua libdir is now only checked for commands/platforms that really
need to link Lua explicitly
* LuaJIT is now detected dynamically
* RaptorJIT is now detected as a LuaJIT variant
* Improvements in Lua autodetection at runtime
* luarocks new_version: new option --dir
* luarocks which: report modules found via package.path and
package.cpath as well
* install.bat: Improved detection for Visual Studio 2017 and higher
* Bundled LuaSec in all-in-one binary bumped to version 0.8.1

Did the BSD zip/unzip fix make it into this release?

Thanks,
Russ
