| Summary: Small Embeddable Language with Procedural Syntax | |
Lua is a programming language originally designed for extending applications, but is also frequently used as a general-purpose, stand-alone language. Lua combines procedural syntax (similar to Pascal) with data description constructs based on associative arrays and extensible semantics. Lua is dynamically typed, interpreted from byte codes, and has automatic memory management, making it suitable for configuration, scripting, and rapid prototyping. Lua is implemented as a small library of C functions, written in ANSI C.

* Wed Dec 31 2025 Matej Cepl <mcepl@cepl.eu>
- Add libdir-luaconf.patch making it possible for the build
process to be driven only by the command line arguments of
`make` without a need to modify `src/luaconf.h` "manually".
- Add 32bit-check.patch to fix failed tests on 32bit platforms,
to fix 32-bit integer overflow in str_rep function.
* Wed Dec 31 2025 Matej Cepl <mcepl@cepl.eu>
- Update to the final release of 5.5.0, overview of the main
changes for this major version:
- declarations for global variables
- named vararg tables
- for-loop variables are read only
- floats are printed in decimal with enough digits to be read
back correctly.
- more levels for constructors
- table.create
- utf8.offset returns also final position of character
- external strings (that use memory not managed by Lua)
- new functions luaL_openselectedlibs and luaL_makeseed
- major garbage collections done incrementally
- more compact arrays (large arrays use about 60% less memory)
- lua.c loads 'readline' dynamically
- static (fixed) binaries (when loading a binary chunk in
memory, Lua can reuse its original memory in some of the
internal structures)
- dump and undump reuse all strings
- auxiliary buffer reuses buffer when it creates final string
* Tue Nov 18 2025 Matej Cepl <mcepl@cepl.eu>
- Update to 5.5.0-rc1:
bugfixes
* Mon Aug 04 2025 Matej Cepl <mcepl@cepl.eu>

* Sat Jul 19 2025 Matej Cepl <mcepl@cepl.eu>
- Switch from update-alternatives to libalternatives (and
dependency on lua-interpreter)

- this package also provides devel symlink directly and conflicts
other -devel packages

* Mon Mar 07 2022 Bjørn Lie <bjorn.lie@gmail.com>
- Drop the lua_docdir define, package docs in the standard
location. Instead just silently drop packaging the README with
the path that does not makes sense for a rpm package, but for a
source tarball install. Simpler solution to boo#1186233.
