1 HISTORY for Lua 5.1
7 + new semantics for control variables of fors.
8 + new semantics for setn/getn.
9 + new syntax/semantics for varargs.
13 + metatables for all types
23 + better support for 64-bit machines.
24 + native loadlib support for Mac OS X.
39 + new generic for.
47 + more general syntax for function definition (e.g. function a.x.y:f()...end).
48 + more general syntax for function calls (e.g. (print or write)(9)).
55 + new lua_atpanic for host cleanup.
60 + support for external multithreading and coroutines.
62 + the core no longer needs "stdio.h" for anything (except for a single
66 + support for user extensions in lua.c.
67 sample implementation given for command line editing.
70 + precompiled bytecodes checked for integrity (secure binary dostring).
78 + new "break" and "for" statements (both numerical and for tables).
82 + new read form: read(N) for next N bytes.
85 + all return values are passed as arguments for the last function
87 + garbage collection tag methods for tables now deprecated.
88 + there is now only one tag method for order.
95 + reduced memory usage for programs with many strings.
96 + improved treatment for memory allocation errors.
97 + improved support for 16-bit machines (we hope).
121 - more general syntax for function calls and lvalues, e.g.:
124 f"string" is sugar for f("string")
128 + support for multiple global contexts.
131 + the default for numbers is now double.
140 Tag methods replace fallbacks as the meta-mechanism for extending the
144 + new, general syntax for constructors {[exp] = exp, ... }.
145 + support for handling variable number of arguments in functions (varargs).
146 + support for conditional compilation ($if ... $else ... $end).
148 + better support for writing libraries (auxlib.h).
155 the old libraries are still available for compatibility
157 + better support for 16- and 64-bit machines
163 + interface for debugging and profiling
165 + new functions for handling references to Lua objects
174 + support for pipes
