Hi, folks! I’m delighted to announce that ngx\_lua v0.1.3 has been released. You can download the tarball from the following download page: [https://github.com/chaoslawful/lua-nginx-module/downloads](https://github.com/chaoslawful/lua-nginx-module/downloads) In this version, we’ve improved the config-time detection logic for Solaris and Mac, and there’s success report on Solaris 11. Thanks the great help from Vladislav Manchev. There’s also some work for NetBSD/OpenBSD/FreeBSD systems from Piotr Sikora. \*BSD folks are very welcome to try it out 😉 Our main development and testing environment is 32bit and 64bit Linux though. Help for porting this module to more (exotic) systems will be highly appreciated as usual 🙂 The ngx\_lua module embeds the Lua/LuaJIT interpreter into the nginx core and integrates the powerful Lua threads (aka Lua coroutines) into the nginx event model by means of nginx subrequests. But chaoslawful is currently working on the “cosocket” branch of ngx\_lua that will emulate a common set of Lua socket API that will give you totally transparent non-blocking capability out of the box by means of a brand new upstream layer atop the nginx event model and no nginx subrequest overheads. Happy Lua and nginx.conf hacking! Cheers, -agentzh ---
