Ten years ago today we announced Lua 1.1, the first public release of Lua:

We have come a long way since then (although it doesn't feel so long), but
it's nice to see that in essence Lua 1.1 is not all that far from Lua 5.0:
the original goals have proved fruitful.
We thank the Lua community for your interest, support, and valuable input
during all those years. An incomplete list of individuals and institutions
to whom we're specially grateful is at

Thank you all!
