This is a work version. An updated reference manual is included but
all details may change in the final version. See
http://www.lua.org/work/doc/
The main change in Lua 5.3.0 is the introduction of integers.
For other changes, see
http://www.lua.org/work/doc/#changes
Here are the main changes since work2:
- exponentiation is only for floats
- more functions in math handling integers
- new API for continuation functions
- io.read'*n' reads both floats and integers
- new function debug.Csize
- new API function lua_rotate, lua_isyieldable
- more flexible __eq
- stand-alone interpreter creates 'arg' before running any code
- coercion from strings to integers (on integer operations)
- deprecation of some math functions
The complete diffs from work2 are at
http://www.lua.org/work/diffs-lua-5.3.0-work2-work3.txt
All feedback welcome. Thanks.
