Very, very nice indeed to have O'Reilly publish it. That's a merit by itself me thinks. As to version numbers, 5.1 is way better. Lua should (and has) stabilized itself, and the major version changes have really been _major_ version changes in the past. I hope it stays that way; stability is now the thing required to push Lua further to new users.

How so?
I couldn't find anything on the O'Reilly welcome page...
Did I miss anything?

Yes, the last page in Roberto's presentation:
http://www.inf.puc-rio.br/~roberto/talks/novelties.pdf
It reads: "Programming Lua, 2nd edition to be published by O'Reilly".

After reading that presentation it seems to me that Lua 5.1 could be called

Lua 6. :-)

Certainly PIL updated to cover Lua 5.1 is going to be a must-have book.
