[Hisham <h@...>]

Hello list!

I'm happy to announce a new release of LuaRocks, the package manager for Lua.

What's new in LuaRocks 3.9.0:

* `builtin` build mode now always respects CC, CFLAGS and LDFLAGS
* Check that lua.h version matches the desired Lua version
* Check that the version of the Lua C library matches the desired Lua version
* Fixed deployment of non-wrapped binaries
* Fixed crash when `--lua-version` option is malformed
* Fixed help message for `--pin` option
* Unix: use native methods and don't always rely on $USER to determine user
* Windows: use native CLI tooling more
* macOS: support .tbd extension when checking for libraries
* macOS: add XCode SDK path to search paths
* macOS: add best-effort heuristic for library search using Homebrew paths
* macOS: avoid quoting issues with LIBFLAG
* macOS: deployment target is now 11.0 on macOS 11+
* added DragonFly BSD support
* LuaRocks test suite now runs on Lua 5.4 and LuaJIT
* Internal dependencies of standalone LuaRocks executable were bumped
