Lua5.3 has been producted more than two years, and I'd like to know when to support it, or never? asked 19 Jul '17, 22:12  pig4210 |
One Answer:
There has been a longer thread at the developer mailing list some time ago to support Lua 5.3. As I've understood it: no currently active plans. Devs: Correct me when I'm wrong. answered 20 Jul '17, 00:21  Uli 1 You are correct. (20 Jul '17, 05:02) Jaap ♦ |
There's a lengthy discussion here listing pros and cons https://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev/201608/msg00155.html
I don't quite remeber the final verdict but I think something did not compile on one of our platforms with LUA 5.3
