Hi List

 

We have taken an interest on Lua and want to purchase reading material to get familiar with Lua. But I noticed that the 4th edition released in 2016 is made with 5.3 in mind. I wondered if there is a 5th  edition in the making that will soon be published, because with an untrained eye it seems like the changes in 5.4 are quite significant


There was an edition for each of 5.0, 5.1, 5.2, and 5.3. I have no doubt that 5.4 is being worked on. IIRC, the book is self-published, so the Lua team has full control of when a new edition is released.
