# Multi Version: 15.0.0 Fake it till you make it
**Key Changes**
- Emulating system threading on a single thread
    - Purpose to allow consistant code that can scale when threading is available. Check out the changelog for more details

Found an issue? Please [submit it](https://github.com/rayaman/multi/issues) and I'll look into it!

My multitasking library for lua. It is a pure lua binding, with exceptions of the integrations and the love2d compat. If you find any bugs or have any issues, please [let me know](https://github.com/rayaman/multi/issues) and I'll look into it!.

INSTALLING
----------
Links to dependicies:
[lanes](https://github.com/LuaLanes/lanes)

To install copy the multi folder into your environment and you are good to go</br>
If you want to use the system threads, then you'll need to install lanes!
**or** use luarocks `luarocks install multi`

Going forward I will include a Release zip for love2d.
**The Network Manager rework is currently being worked on and the old version is not included in this version.**
