Announcing lua-zmq & lua-zmq-threads release 1.1 This release fixes some minor bugs, improves support for Windows, and adds bindings to ZeroMQ's stopwatch interface (a high resolution timer). lua-zmq [1] provide complete Lua bindings of the ZeroMQ [2]. ZeroMQ is a light-weight but very powerful messaging library. With it you can scale your application from multiple-threads to a cluster of servers. ZeroMQ provides more then just point-to-point messaging, you can do Publish/Subscribe, Request/Response (with load balancing), or one-way Push/Pull (also with load balancing). See the ZeroMQ guide [3] which has a lot of Lua examples. lua-zmq-threads is a sub-module of lua-zmq that wrap lua-llthreads [4] to provide Lua with an easy way to start multiple threads that share the same ZeroMQ context (this allows the threads to use the low-latency "inproc://" transport for messages).
