[Luiz Henrique de Figueiredo <lhf@...>]

Lua 3.2 (beta) is now available for downloading at
	http://www.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/lua/ftp/lua-3.2-beta.tar.gz
	ftp://ftp.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/lua/lua-3.2-beta.tar.gz

The Canadian mirror seems to be down right now, but when it comes up,
the software will also be available at
	http://csg.uwaterloo.ca/lua/ftp/lua-3.2-beta.tar.gz
	ftp://csg.uwaterloo.ca/pub/lhf/lua/lua.tar.gz

The other mirrors will be updated soon, hopefully.

The distribution includes an updated reference manual in HTML.
The PostScript version in the site is still for version 3.1.

* New in version 3.2beta
  -----------------------
  + redirected all output in Lua's core to _ERRORMESSAGE and _ALERT
  + increased limit on the number of constants and globals per function
    (from 2^16 to 2^24).
  + debugging info (lua_debug and hooks) moved into lua_state.
    new API functions provided to get and set this info.
  + new debug lib gives full debugging access within Lua
  + new table functions "foreachi", "sort", "tinsert", "tremove", "getn"
  + new io functions "flush", "seek"
  + added lua_userinit hook so that sample interpreter can be easily reused
    and user has control over which libraries are loaded.
