Lua 5.3.0 (rc1) is now available for testing at http://www.lua.org/work/lua-5.3.0-rc1.tar.gz MD5 5d2c644796eb3bd3ca1c5d43d9891528 - SHA1 fef32825392283c7561be61ae4c6af33ca7dacc1 - This is a release candidate for the final release of Lua 5.3.0. A few things have changed since beta that we'd like to test in the wild. In particular, we made some changes in luaconf.h and in the Makefile that we'd like to test. Please try compiling the current code in as many platforms as possible. We expect the compilation will go smoothly as usual but please report any warnings or other glitches. We'd also like feedback on the documentation: http://www.lua.org/work/doc/readme.html http://www.lua.org/work/doc/contents.html http://www.lua.org/work/doc/manual.html Finally, for those of you into this, please test luac -l -l on your scripts, just to make sure we haven't missed anything with the new VM instructions etc. The main change in Lua 5.3.0 is the introduction of integers.
