My multitasking library for lua. It is a pure lua binding, with exceptions of the integrations and the love2d compat.

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.
