Hi, folks!

After four months’ active development of our contributors, I’m happy  
to announce the v0.4.0 release of our ngx\_lua module. You can get the  
release tarball from the download page:

[https://github.com/chaoslawful/lua-nginx-module/tags](https://github.com/chaoslawful/lua-nginx-module/tags)

There’s many many new features and bug fixes that you can find out in  
the following complete change log for this release (it is just too  
long to put here :P):

[Lua | NGINX](http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpLuaModule#v0.4.0)

Special thanks go to all of our contributors and users!

This module embeds the Lua 5.1 interpreter or LuaJIT 2.0 into the  
nginx core and integrates the powerful Lua threads (aka Lua  
coroutines) into the nginx event model by means of nginx subrequests.

Unlike Apache’s mod\_lua and Lighttpd’s mod\_magnet, Lua code written  
atop this module can be 100% non-blocking on network traffic as long  
as you use the ngx.location.capture or ngx.location.capture\_multi  
interfaces to let the Nginx core do all your requests to mysql,  
postgresql, memcached, redis, upstream http web services, and etc etc  
etc.

This module is also included and enabled by default in our  
ngx\_openresty bundle: [http://openresty.org/](http://openresty.org/)

You can find the complete documentation for this module on the  
following wiki page:

[Lua | NGINX](http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpLuaModule)

And you always get the latest source code from the git repository here:

Have fun!
