RE: [ANNOUNCE] Lua 5.0 (pre-release) now available

[Will Cowling <WillCowling@...>]

One very minor point...

I'm compiling it on a PS2, which has no support for doubles, so I use
USE_FLOAT to force numbers as single precision floats.  This gives many
compiler warnings about conversion from int to float, which I have to add
explicit casts to lua_number to get rid of.  Also, although I haven't done
it yet, I'll need to replace lua_str2number so it doesn't use strtod.

Is there a better solution to this?  Perhaps I'm missing something?

Apart from that, it compiles with no errors and runs fine :)

A pre-release of Lua 5.0 (final) is now available for downloading at
        http://www.lua.org/ftp/lua-5.0.tar.gz

This is a pre-release because we have made several changes in config and
Makefile since Lua 5.0 (beta) and would like to test them before freezing
the
package. So, please download and compile it, taking some time to read
config,
and let us know if there are any compilation problems (or bugs in the
code!).

The tarbal includes an updated reference manual in HTML, but no indices.
A complete manual in HTML and a PDF version will be available on the site
when Lua 5.0 final is released.

If no installation problems are found and reported in a week or so, we'll
release Lua 5.0 final.

Thanks for your help and patience.
