I wonder if it would not have been simpler to add a LUA_TINTEGER type,
without automatic coercion (and use the C rules for divisions) ?

-- this sequence look strange.

x=4/2 -- float
y=x&2 -- accepted
x=3/2
y=x&1 -- error: number (global 'x') has no integer representation

This is a release candidate for the final release of Lua 5.3.0.

A few things have changed since beta that we'd like to test in the wild.
In particular, we made some changes in luaconf.h and in the Makefile
that we'd like to test. Please try compiling the current code in as many
platforms as possible. We expect the compilation will go smoothly as usual
but please report any warnings or other glitches.

We'd also like feedback on the documentation:
http://www.lua.org/work/doc/readme.html
http://www.lua.org/work/doc/contents.html
http://www.lua.org/work/doc/manual.html

Finally, for those of you into this, please test luac -l -l on your
scripts, just to make sure we haven't missed anything with the new
VM instructions etc.

The main change in Lua 5.3.0 is the introduction of integers. See also
http://www.lua.org/work/doc/#changes

The complete diffs are available at
http://www.lua.org/work/diffs-lua-5.3.0-rc1-rc2.txt

An updated test suite is available at
http://www.lua.org/work/lua-5.3.0-rc2-tests.tar.gz

All feedback welcome. Thanks.
