Re: questions about lua 5 FINAL

[Brian Hook <hook_l@...>]

I know this is asked a lot, but what are the actual differences for 
Lua5?  If you go to the Web page there aren't many links or 
discussion on 5 that are authoritative, and being on this list I kind 
of get lost between the "would be nice", "is going in", "is being 
removed" and "we're thinking about it" discussions =)

It would be nice if the distribution had a download page that talks 
about the changes.  Right now if you click on the link you're 
immediately given a .tar.gz to download.
