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
Proper support for lua versions above 5.1 (More testing is needed, a full test suite is being developed and should be made available soon)

Found an issue? Please submit it 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 and I'll look into it!.

INSTALLING

Links to dependencies: lanes

To install copy the multi folder into your environment and you are good to go
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.
