I think the best thing to do right now is relax =) Given that the  
project has reached a version "5.x" means that their bug reporting  
procedures were fine for the previous versions, etc. It's not such a  
big deal. Perhaps your situation at work is different and thus  
warrants slightly more rigorous versioning procedures, but it appears  
as though it's different with Lua and has worked fine until now, so  
it's likely to work fine in the future.
