Description aeuii 2016-08-27 15:59:08 UTC 
The version in ports is outdated (1.9, May 2012) and the newest (1.10.4, July 2016) fixes many bugs and improvements. Most importantly, it has a new lua config system. It would be very useful to have it ported to FreeBSD. Please enable lua by default, so it's available as the binary package. (lua is a very small dependency)

Thank you for taking care of this port.

Best,
Stefan

FYI, opening a PR to inform of a new version is against PR guidelines:
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/problem-reports/pr-when.html

Chances are the maintainer was already aware.
However, it's completely acceptable to write the maintainer directly to confirm and ask politely when a new version would be available.

What is permitted (even encouraged) is submitting a patch that updates the version.  If you really need this updated, then submit the changes and the maintain *has* to react within two weeks.
