[Diego Nehab <diego@...>]

Hi,

LuaSocket 2.0 beta2 is available for download from the usual place:

    http://www.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/luasocket

Additionally, it's also available from LuaForge:

    http://luaocket.luaforge.net

What's New

Changes in the 2.0-beta2 were mostly bug-fixes.

    <> Fixed silly last-minute-change bug in HTTP/SMTP;
    <> usocket.c/wsocket.c look nicer thanks to Mike;
    <> Finally total timeout is reliable on Windows! (found a pretty
       simple work around);
    <> UDP has a reasonable maximum datagram size (8k);
    <> Receive accepts the prefix optional argument (good for
        non-blocking);
    <> <b>Send doesn't support multiple arguments anymore</b>;
    <> Instead, send allows the selection of the substring
       to be sent (good for non-blocking);
    <> Fixed bug that caused select return tables not to be associative
       on windows;
    <> Should compiles with g++;
    <> New sample unix domain support;
    <> New sample LPD support;
    <> Comprehensive error messages;
    <> New getstats and setstats methods to help
       throttling;
    <> Listen defaults to 32 backlog;
    <> SMTP/FTP/HTTP fail gracefully;
    <> accept/connect/select interrupt safe
    <> Fixed bug that didn't set accepted sockets as non-blocking
    <> <b>New timming functions sleep and gettime have
       higher resolution and no wrap around problems</b>;
    <> Bug fixes in the manual;
    <> Fixed bug of missing cast in getfd.

Have fun,
Diego.
