RE: Is LuaBinaries still being maintained?

["Antonio Scuri" <scuri@...>]

  Hi, 

  Yes, LuaBinaries is still maintained. 

  I didn't release binaries for 5.2.2 and for 5.2.3 because there were just
bug fixes, and so I wait to build on demand. 

  But last week a user asked for 5.2.3, plus you now,  so I schedule a build
for Monday. 

Best,
Antonio Scuri
