	<li> Retrieve results in a row-by-row cursor fashion.</li>
</ul>

<h4>LuaSQL 2.x</h4>

<p>
Version 2.7 introduces support for To-be-closed variables and all the Drivers are adapted to Lua version 5.4. <br>This was developed by Chaitanya Deshmukh (GSoC 2024) under the mentorship of Tomás Guisasola.
</p>

<p>
Version 2.5 incorporates support in MySQL driver for seeking in the result set.
</p>
<p>
Version 2.3.5 incorporates some bug corrections and small improvements (thanks to IR4T4 and tomatolog).
This version works with Lua versions 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3.
</p>
<p>
Version 2.3 is just an adaptation of the code to work with Lua 5.0, 5.1 and 5.2.
</p>
<p>
Version 2.2 started a distributed development, with all project discussions happening through the <a href="https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/kepler-project">Kepler's mailing list</a>.
New developers: Hisham Muhammad, Ignacio Burgueño, Luis Eduardo Jason Santos, Marc Nijdam, Mauricio Bomfim and Scott Morgan.
<p>
Version 2.1 and 2.0 were redesigned by Roberto Ierusalimschy, André Carregal
and Tomás Guisasola as part of the
<a href="http://www.keplerproject.org">Kepler Project</a>.
The implementation was coded by
Tomás Guisasola, Eduardo Quintão, Thiago Ponte, Fabio Mascarenhas and
Danilo Tuler, with many contributions from Michael Broughton, Tiago Dionizio, Leonardo Godinho, Pedro Maia, Klaus Ripke, Michael Roth and others.</p>

<h4>LuaSQL 1.0</h4>

<p>LuaSQL was originally designed by Pedro Miller Rabinovitch and Roberto Ierusalimschy.
The first implementation was compatible with Lua 4.0a.
Many modifications were made but not distributed by Diego Nehab (ODBC),
Carlos Cassino, Tomás Guisasola and Eduardo Quintão (PostgreSQL).</p>

<p>LuaSQL development was sponsored by
<a href="http://www.fabricadigital.com.br">Fábrica Digital</a>, FINEP and CNPq.</p>
