2015-07-20	Instead of having only lua.pc, provide both the versioned pkg-config file	wiz	1	-3/+1
	and the unversioned one. As discussed on tech-pkg.
2015-06-20	Update lang/lua53 to 5.3.1.	alnsn	3	-9/+10
	The following bugs have been fixed (from http://www.lua.org/bugs.html): 1. string.format("%f") can cause a buffer overflow (only when 'lua_Number' is long double!). reported by Roberto on 13 Jan 2015. existed since 5.3. fixed in 5.3.1. 2. debug.getlocal on a coroutine suspended in a hook can crash the interpreter. reported by on 11 Feb 2015. existed since 5.2. fixed in 5.3.1. Example: See http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2015-02/msg00146.html. 3. Suspended __le metamethod can give wrong result. reported by Eric Zhong on 07 Apr 2015. existed since 5.2. fixed in 5.3.1. Example: mt = {__le = function (a,b) coroutine.yield("yield"); return a.x <= b.x end} t1 = setmetatable({x=1}, mt) t2 = {x=2} co = coroutine.wrap(function (a,b) return t2 <= t1 end) co() print(co()) --> true (should be false) 4. Return hook may not see correct values for active local variables when function returns. reported by Philipp Janda and Peng Yi on 19 May 2015. existed since 5.0. fixed in 5.3.1. Example: See http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2015-05/msg00376.html.
2015-01-17	Initial import of Lua 5.3.0.	alnsn	11	-0/+318
	Lua is a powerful, light-weight programming language designed for extending applications. Lua is also frequently used as a general-purpose, stand-alone language. Lua combines simple procedural syntax (similar to Pascal) with powerful data description constructs based on associative arrays and extensible semantics. Lua is dynamically typed, interpreted from bytecodes, and has automatic memory management, making it ideal for configuration, scripting, and rapid prototyping. Lua is a language engine that you can embed into your application. This means that, besides syntax and semantics, Lua has an API that allows the application to exchange data with Lua programs and also to extend Lua with C functions. In this sense, Lua can be regarded as a language framework for building domain-specific languages. Lua is implemented as a small library of C functions, written in ANSI C, and compiles unmodified in all known platforms. The implementation goals are simplicity, efficiency, portability, and low embedding cost. The result is a fast language engine with small footprint, making it ideal in embedded systems too.
