- Update to version 3.11.0:
  Features:
  * luarocks build and luarocks install no longer rebuild or
    reinstall if the version is already installed (--force
    overrides).
  * More aggressive caching of the manifest file (does not hit
    luarocks.org again if the cached manifest is younger than 10
    seconds).
  * Drops stale lock files (older than 1 hour).
  * More informative error reports on bad configurations of Lua
    paths (LUA_INCDIR, LUA_LIBDIR).
  * Better error messages when lacking permissions.
  * Bumps vendored dkjson dependency to 2.7.
  * --verbose output now prints the LuaRocks configuration, for
    more informative bug reports.
  Fixes:
  * Passing --global always LuaRocks target the system tree.
  * Does not crash if root_dir is a table.
  * Does not try to lock rocks trees when using --pack-binary-rock
    or --no-install.
  * Checks permissions ahead of trying to lock trees, to provide
    better error messages.
  * Avoids LuaSec version mismatch by refusing to use LuaSec
    versions below 1.1.
  * Does not set up a "project environment" when running make on
    the LuaRocks sources.
- Updates from version 3.10.0
  Features:
  * Introduce file-based locking for concurrent access control.
    Previously, LuaRocks would produce undefined behavior when
    running two instances at the same time.
  * Rockspec quality-of-life improvements:
  * Using an unknown build.type now automatically implies a build
    dependency for luarocks-build-<build.type>.
  * Improve rockspec.source.dir autodetection.
  * builtin build mode now automatically inherits include and
    libdirs from external_dependencies if not set explicitly.
  * improved and simplified Lua interpreter search.
  * lua_interpreter config value is deprecated in favor of
    variables.LUA which contains the full interpreter path.
  * luarocks-admin remove now supports the file:// protocol for
    managing local rocks servers.
  * Bundled dkjson library, so that luarocks upload does not
    require an external JSON library.
  * New flags for luarocks init: --no-gitignore,
    --no-wrapper-scripts, --wrapper-dir.
  * luarocks config now attempts updating the system config by
    default when local_by_default is false.
  * New flag for luarocks path: --full, for use with --lr-path and
    --lr-cpath.
  Fixes:
  * luarocks build no longer looks for Lua headers when installing
    pure-Lua rocks.
  * luarocks build table in rockspecs now gets some additional
    validation to prevent crashes on malformed rockspecs.
  * build.builtin now compiles C modules in a temporary directory,
    avoiding name clashes
  * build_dependencies now correctly installs dependencies for the
    Lua version that LuaRocks is running on, and not the one it is
    building for with --lua-version.
  * build_dependencies can now use a dependency available in any
    rocks tree (system, user, project).
  * luarocks config now prints boolean values correctly on Lua 5.1.
  * luarocks config now ensures the target directory exists when
    saving a configuration.
  * luarocks init now injects the project's package.(c)path in the
    Lua wrapper.
  * luarocks lint no longer crashes if a rockspec misses a
    description field.
  * luarocks test now handles malformed command entries gracefully.
  * if --lua-* flags are given in the CLI, the hardcoded values are
    never used.
  * the "no downloader" error is now shown only once, and not once
    per failed mirror.
  * project dir is always presented normalized
  * catch the failure to setup LUA_BINDIR early.
  * when using --pack-binary-rock and a zip program is unavailable,
    report that instead of failing cryptically.
  * More graceful handling when failing to create a local cache.
  * Avoid confusion with macOS multiarch binaries on system
    detection.
  * Add --tree to the rocks trees list.
  * Better support for LuaJIT versions with extra suffixes in their
    version numbers.
  * Don't use floats to parse Lua version number.
  * Various fixes related to path normalization.
- Updates from version 3.9.2:
  * Configuration now honors typical compiler environment variables
    for all build backends such as MAKE, CC, AR, RANLIB
  * luarocks test now checks/installs all dependency kinds (build,
    runtime, test), so you don't need to run luarocks make
    --only-deps in CI environments to get all dependencies needed
    to run a test
  * Fixed crash if variables.LUA* are unset in configuration
  * Fix luarocks test --prepare behavior for non-Busted tests
  * Internal API fixes
  * path.path_to_module: accept custom file extensions in package
    path variables
  * persist.save_from_table: ensure directory exists when saving a
    file
