Hello,
which Lua version does ConTeXt use? The following:
echo print('== ConTeXt: this is ' .. _VERSION .. ' ==') > CtxLuaVer~.lua
tex\texmf-mswin\bin\luametatex.exe --luaonly CtxLuaVer~.lua > CtxLuaVer~.log
yields
== ConTeXt: this is Lua 5.5 ==
whilst the latest Lua version released on https://www.lua.org is 5.4.7.
(I need this for possible building DLL extension(s) - Lua module(s) -
to ConTeXt.)
- luametatex is kind of self contained and has lua compiled in
- we use 5.5 because it's fun, shows what is coming, we have a huge
codebase so can test it, etc (we only update when the test suite has no
issues, and there seldom are)
- the source that we use is in the distribution so you can use that
