 * major improvements in the Windows install.bat script. Now installs by default on standard Windows locations, while the old self-contained all-under-one-dir installation is still supported through an option flag. The documentation at luarocks.org didn't catch up with it yet, so please refer to "install /?" for instructions.
 * a new command, "luarocks doc <module>" that tries to find any installed documentation. Due to the lack of documentation standards for Lua, this uses a few heuristics. Feedback on the feature is appreciated.

 ## Dependency information
 
 Dependencies are represented in LuaRocks through strings with a package name followed by a comma-separated list of constraints. Each constraint consists of an operator and a version number. In this string format, version numbers are represented as naturally as possible, like they are used by upstream projects (e.g. "2.0beta3"). Internally, LuaRocks converts them to a purely numeric representation, allowing comparison following some common sense heuristics. The precise specification of the comparison criteria is the source code of the luarocks.deps module, but the test/test_deps.lua file included with LuaRocks provides some insights on what these criteria are.
 
 * **supported_platforms** (array of strings) - If this array is not present, the rock is assumed to be portable to any platform. If present, this should contain strings containing LuaRocks platform identifiers, optionally preceded by a "!" to indicate a negative match. If only negative entries are listed, the rock is assumed to be portable to any platform except those listed. If any positive entry exists, then at least one entry must match positively to the currently running platform. Currently supported LuaRocks platform identifiers are: "unix", "windows", "win32", "cygwin", "macosx", "linux", "freebsd". Platforms may have more than one valid identifier; e.g. Linux defines both "unix" and "linux". Note that, as of 0.6, Cygwin under Windows defines {"unix", "cygwin"} but *not* "windows".
-* **dependencies** (array of strings) - Each string represents a package this rock depends on, containing a package name followed by a comma-separated list of constraints. Example: `{"lfs >= 1.0, &lt; 2.0"}`. Accepted operators are the relational operators of Lua: `==` `~=` `<` `>` `<=` `>=` , as well as a special operator, `~>`, inspired by the "pessimistic operator" of RubyGems (`"~> 2"` means `">= 2, < 3"`; `"~> 2.4"` means `">= 2.4, < 2.5"`). The absence of an operator means an implicit `==` (i.e., `"lfs 1.0"` is the same as `"lfs == 1.0"`). "lua" is an special dependency name; it matches not a rock, but the version of Lua in use. Supports [per-platform overrides](platform-overrides).
-* **build_dependencies** (array of strings) (since 3.0) - Dependencies that apply at build-time only, but not when installing binary (`.<platform>.rock`) or pure-Lua (`.all.rock`) rocks. Each string represents a package this rock depends on at build time, containing a package name followed by a comma-separated list of constraints. The syntax in the same as the `dependencies` field. Supports [per-platform overrides](platform-overrides).
-* **external_dependencies** (table) - For each key in the external_dependencies table in the rockspec file, four variables available to the build rules are created: <i>key</i>_DIR, <i>key</i>_BINDIR, <i>key</i>_INCDIR and <i>key</i>_LIBDIR. These are not overwritten if already set (e.g. by the LuaRocks config file or through the command-line). The base prefix for these can be given explicitly setting <i>key</i>_DIR in the config file or through the command-line, or implicitly, defaulting to the value of default_external_deps_dir, set in the config file. Values in the external_dependencies table are tables that may contain a "header" or a "library" field, with filenames to be tested for existence. Example: `{ EXPAT = { header = "expat.h" } }` -- on Unix, this will check that EXPAT_DIR/include/expat.h exists and will create variables accordingly. You can also use platform overrides or specify files of external dependencies in a [platform-agnostic manner](platform-agnostic-external-dependencies). Supports [per-platform overrides](platform-overrides).
-* **test_dependencies** (array of strings) (since 3.0) - Dependencies that apply at test-time only, that is, only needed when running `luarocks test`. Each string represents a package this rock depends on at test time, containing a package name followed by a comma-separated list of constraints. The syntax in the same as the `dependencies` field.
