See user manual for details. 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 -- Thomas Petazzoni, CTO, Free Electrons Embedded Linux, Kernel and Android engineering http://free-electrons.com
