'for i in table do ... end' was deprecated in Lua 5.0, not in 5.1.
See in the Lua 5.0 manual (Incompatibilities with version 4.0):
"The old construction for k,v in t, where t is a table, is deprecated 
(although it is still supported). Use for k,v in pairs(t) instead."

The manual. Search for "incompatibilities".
