I believe another very important feature is also the Luarocks package
infrastructure. You're mentioning luarocks amongst the new package
below, but I believe it would be good to highlight the fact that
luarocks is not just a new package: it is a whole new package
infrastructure that makes it easier to add Lua packages in Buildroot.
Maybe something to be added in the final release e-mail :)

Best regards,

Thomas
