Lua 5.3 is now the current version of Lua.
The main change in Lua 5.3 is the introduction of integers.
Other changes are listed in
http://www.lua.org/manual/5.3/readme.html#changes
For installation and building instructions, see
http://www.lua.org/manual/5.3/readme.html
The reference manual is available at
http://www.lua.org/manual/5.3/
Minor updates to the manual will be made as needed.
A test suite is available at
http://www.lua.org/tests/
We thank everyone for their feedback during the development of Lua 5.3.
We look forward to working on Lua 5.4!
All feedback welcome. Thanks.

Hooray! :-) And thanks for your efforts!
Just an aside: I moved a small project of mine to 5.3 (a Lua template
engine and application, based on an enhanced version of Rici Lake's
preprocessor, that I use to build more complex LaTeX documents).
It worked for 5.2 and almost did for 5.3. The only things I had to
change were a couple of function names (table.unpack instead of bare
unpack and load instead of loadstring - yes I used Lua 5.2 in compat
mode for 5.1). The only major "problem" was luafilesystem module. The
version I had didn't compile against Lua 5.3 API. I just had to download
the latest master branch from GitHub and use that. Almost a breeze.
Total time needed: about 20 minutes. Not heavily tested but, hey!, I
feared much more problems (since most of my "private" libraries were
designed for 5.1 and never fully tested for 5.2).
Cheers!
