Re: Last novelty

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.
