LuaPgSQL-1.6.0 released

[Marc Balmer <marc@...>]

It's my pleasure to announce version 1.6.0 of LuaPgSQL, the Lua interface to PostgreSQL.

This version fixes bugs, makes the API more Lua friendly (e.g. by returning true/false instead
of integer values) and simplifies part of the code.

It fully supports Lua 5.3.3 and is available as usual on https://github.com/arcapos/luapgsql.

Is it for you or should you go with LuaSQL instead?  That depends on whether you just need
a few simple and probably database agnostic SQL statements or if you want to use the many
advanced features of PostgreSQL like asynchronous notifications etc.  LuaPgSQL is not
a database agnostic interface, it is specifically for PostgreSQL, where it supports all
functionality that the C interface does as well (plus some "Luaisms" that come in handy).
