Update to version 5.0.
* Changes from version 4.0 to 5.0 ------------------------------- Language: + lexical scoping. + Lua coroutines. + standard libraries now packaged in tables. + tags replaced by metatables and tag methods replaced by metamethods, stored in metatables. + proper tail calls. + each function can have its own global table, which can be shared. + new __newindex metamethod, called when we insert a new key into a table. + new block comments: --[[ ... ]]. + new generic for. + new weak tables. + new boolean type. + new syntax "local function". + (f()) returns the first value returned by f. + {f()} fills a table with all values returned by f. + \n ignored in [[\n . + fixed and-or priorities. + more general syntax for function definition (e.g. function a.x.y:f()...end). + more general syntax for function calls (e.g. (print or write)(9)). + new functions (time/date, tmpfile, unpack, require, load*, etc.). API: + chunks are loaded by using lua_load; new luaL_loadfile and luaL_loadbuffer. + introduced lightweight userdata, a simple "void*" without a metatable. + new error handling protocol: the core no longer prints error messages; all errors are reported to the caller on the stack. + new lua_atpanic for host cleanup. + new, signal-safe, hook scheme. Implementation: + new license: MIT. + new, faster, register-based virtual machine. + support for external multithreading and coroutines. + new and consistent error message format. + the core no longer needs "stdio.h" for anything (except for a single use of sprintf to convert numbers to strings). + lua.c now runs the environment variable LUA_INIT, if present. It can be "@filename", to run a file, or the chunk itself. + support for user extensions in lua.c. sample implementation given for command line editing. + new dynamic loading library, active by default on several platforms. + safe garbage-collector metamethods. + precompiled bytecodes checked for integrity (secure binary dostring). + strings are fully aligned. + position capture in string.find. + read('*l') can read lines with embedded zeros.
