We are ?

Oh well forgot about a new intpreter then. I just googled Lua5.2 to see if there were any advantages of upgrading and there doesn't appear to be so any far. I'm reading a page of 55 changes. Wouldn't that push back updating addons for 2-3 months ?

Maybe it was me reacting to a new buzzword and wanting everything to have that buzzword in it despite there being no basis of any advantages of doing so.
