How highly visible? E.g. this:
* In the "Welcome to Lua 5.2" document, under Changes, say:
The reference manual lists the incompatibilities that had to be
introduced.
* In the Table of Contents of the reference manual: put an entry at
chapter level, called:
8 – Incompatibilities with the Previous Version
Let the first section of the chapter be:
8.1 – Changes in the Language
* Let that section consist of a list of bulleted entries, the second
of which says:
Doing a step in the garbage collector does not restart the
collector if it has been stopped.
Would that be OK?
