While this is all true I think one should start with Lua 5.2 now,
which was released over 2 years ago. It is an improvemento from 5.1:

Upgrading libraries from 5.1 to 5.2 is usually quite simple. My
C libraries at http://www.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/~lhf/ftp/lua/ only
differ in a couple of lines. See this thread:
