When Lua 5.2 support?

[pass86]

When Lua 5.2 support? I think many people want this.

[benoit-germain]

I am working on Lua 5.2 support and I believe that it is coming together nicely. However, looking at the other pending pull requests I think that some conflicts are to be expected with my changes if they ever get accepted in the master branch. The easiest way for all would be for those pull requests to be either integrated or rejected so that I can take care of the merge on a clean basis instead of simply adding yet another pull request to the list.

Of course, this supposes that someone will do something about the existing pull requests, which hasn't happened for several months...

Hi Benoit,

I wasn't aware those pull requests were pending, I'll take a look at them.

Thanks,

Max

I believe that I'm pretty much done with the port. All that remains to do now is actually submit the pull request.

Question: When Lua 5.2 support is switched on, will Lua 5.1 still be supported, or will we have to migrate all our projects as well? Any chance of keeping both versions supported?

[benoit-germain]

Yes I've done it right :). Decoda still supports 5.1, and Lua 4.0 for that matter, unless I broke something.

Hi Benoit, is Lua 5.2 support already commited because I can't find it? Thanks

[lengbing]

wanna new ide just for lua5.2

[benoit-germain]

No, it is not committed yet. I'll get around to that eventually if nothing moves regarding the current pull requests. I experience freezes sometimes though so maybe I got something wrong with the debug hooks, since this changed a bit between 5.1 and 5.2.

[jazzbre]

Cool :) Would it be possible to commit it as a new branch or something so I could help you fix it faster?

[benoit-germain]

See pull request #19.

I guess this one can be closed?
