Lua 5.4.0 (beta) is now available for testing at http://www.lua.org/work/lua-5.4.0-beta-rc1.tar.gz The checksums are MD5 eb6b27dfd42fb47aec5d1516c3487c68 - SHA1 0813c72e04a349cf3623c7d44b7fd0abafe92fd7 - This is an beta version. Some details may change in the final version. The main changes in Lua 5.4.0 are listed at http://www.lua.org/work/doc/#changes An updated reference manual is included and also available at http://www.lua.org/work/doc The complete diffs from alpha to beta-rc1 are available at http://www.lua.org/work/diffs-lua-5.4.0-alpha-beta-rc1.html http://www.lua.org/work/diffu-lua-5.4.0-alpha-beta-rc1.html A test suite is available at http://www.lua.org/work/lua-5.4.0-beta-tests.tar.gz If your platform is a common Unix-like platform, just do make guess The Makefile will guess your platform using uname and build Lua for it. We welcome feedback on this, which is new, especially more uname targets with explicit rules and fixes for existing ones. We also welcome feedback on the listings output by luac -l -l, because luac has been rewritten to account for the new VM instructions. All feedback welcome. Thanks. --lhf
