Subject: [ANN] Lua 5.2.0 (work5) now available

Lua 5.2.0 (work5) is now available at
	http://www.lua.org/work/lua-5.2.0-work5.tar.gz

MD5	bc8d74c2c1d2d08155074c05fa72344e  -

This is a work version. All details may change in the final version.
But we are getting close to an alpha version.

The main changes since Lua 5.2.0 (work4) are:

- updated documentation
- new C API for unsigned integers
- bit library renamed to bit32; functions also renamed
- wider support for fast conversion from double to integer

The changes in Lua 5.2 are listed in
	http://www.lua.org/work/doc/#changes

The complete diffs are available at
	http://www.lua.org/work/diffs-lua-5.2.0-work4-work5.txt

All feedback welcome. Thanks.
