As mentioned in this discussion, there's been some fantastic work to update CC:T to Lua 5.2.

Obviously we want to get these changes integrated, as I want goto as much as the next person. However, getting this user-ready is probably going to require a fair amount of other work (see also, the other issues in this project).

• Merge cc-tweaked/Cobalt#50.
• Drop our custom version of load - this has been handled within the Lua VM for a while now.
• Test with some of the most popular programs (well, those which still work on latest CC D:).

Shouldn't we update to Lua 5.4 instead? That is the latest version now.

Eventually, but it's a lot more work.

With 1.100 on the way and 1.18 just coming out, I think it's time to finally push out Lua 5.2 :)

As for point # 3, why not make the general public (running 1.18) the testers?

Point # 2 is now complete as of bc8e090 - it should be checked off now.
