You might notice it by now: I commited some more changes to the CVS.=20
The changes are:

  - Release 2 of compat-5.1 merged into the tree (and it works).

  - More modules adopt now 5.1-like packaging: bit, cgi, fs, fuzzy, gd,=20=

lxp, mapm, md5, pack, posix, readline, rex, shelve, socket and sqlite.=20=

(I don't have Win32, nor wxWindows installed so I can't work on wx and=20=

luacom).

   - The Gluahost-based modules were left as they were. I think it's=20
wiser to wait and see wether Asko implements 5.1-like packaging in=20
LuaX. Quoted from a mail he sent to the list:
> [...]  LuaX will move to the New Require(tm) thing once Lua 5.1 is=20
> official.

   - Added LHF's "ascii85" module (ASCII text coding similar to base64,=20=

used in PDF and more efficient than base64). Of course works as a=20
5.1-like module.

   - The "shelve" module now defines the shelve.close(), that work as=20
expected; and shelve.keys() that returns a table with all the keys of=20
the shelve file.


That's all for now. Some plans I have in mind (if I have some more time=20=

before January 10th):

   - Update "lxp" module to the latest version released by the Kepler=20
crew.

   - Add "xmlrpc" module from Kepler (depends on latest "lxp").

   - Add "soap" module from Kepler (depends on latest "lxp").

   - Add "zip" module from Kepler (depends on zziplib, so must change=20
configure.ac to avoid building it when zziplib not present; or add=20
LGPL-licensed zziplib to our tree: what do you think it's better?).

...And happy new 2005!!!
