Once the server + (luarocks.org or one of its default mirrors) was chosen, it would stick with + it for the rest of the command. + The resulting behavior was that if the manifest fails to load, it switches to + a mirror and continues from there. But if the manifest fetches ok and the then + actual rock download fails, it would give up, instead of trying that in a + mirror as well. + Now, it retries every download on a mirror whenever the base URL matches one + configured in cfg.rocks_servers. The original behavior was satisfactory if + there was complete downtime in the main server, but this new behavior should + make the CLI much more resilient with regard to any intermittent failures + happening on the main server. +* On Unix, it now respects environment variables $XDG_CACHE_HOME and $XDG_CONFIG_HOME + * This means the user's configuration typically resides in ~/.config/luarocks/ + as per the XDG standard + * The legacy path ~/.luarocks/ continues to be tested first, for backwards + compatibility +* Fixes check for the default Lua version set in the user's home configuration +* Fixes an issue on Windows where it would incorrectly revoke permissions + from the current user when installing + +## What's new in LuaRocks 3.6.0 + +* Adds a double-check step to verify that all files from a rock are installed +* Improve resilience of the manifest reader to deal with manifests + written with older versions of LuaRocks lower than 3.0 +* `luarocks pack` now checks that the directory inside the archive being packed + as a `.src.rock` actually exists, refusing to pack an invalid rock from + a badly configured rockspec. +* Fixes behavior of `luarocks pack` when the `url` entry of a rockspec + points to a bare file. +* Remove an entry from the manifest if the rock itself is already missing +* The `configure` script now checks that the version of `lua.h` + found matches that of the Lua interpreter detected or configured +* Fixes the renaming of scripts when multiple versions are installed +* Fixes availability check for `svn` for rockspecs using Subversion +* Fixes for running with an empty PATH environment variable +* Portability improvements: + * Windows: vcvarsall.bat output is now properly redirected to NUL + meaning that the output of `luarocks path` can be used in scripts + * Fixes autodetection for Cygwin + * Handles macOS versions greater than 10.10 + * Adds platform specific configurations for NetBSD + * Respects CC/CFLAGS/LDFLAGS on FreeBSD +* Luacheck now runs on the LuaRocks CI +* Distributed binaries are built using Lua 5.3 + ## What's new in LuaRocks 3.5.0 This is a small release: @@ -57,7 +110,7 @@ This is a small release: This is a bugfix release: * Fix downgrades of rocks containing directories: stop it - from creating spurious 0-byte files where directories have been + from creating spurious 0-byte files where directories have been * Fix error message when attempting to copy a file that is missing * Detect OpenBSD-specific dependency paths @@ -330,7 +383,7 @@ the rockspec: LuaRocks in a "project directory": * it creates a `lua_modules` directory in the current directory for storing rocks - * it creates a `.luarocks/config-5.x.lua` local configuration file + * it creates a `.luarocks/config-5.x.lua` local configuration file * it creates `lua` and `luarocks` wrapper scripts in the current directory that are configured to use `lua_modules` and `.luarocks/config-5.x.lua` -- cgit v1.2.3-55-g6feb
