Release notes for 5.3: http://www.lua.org/manual/5.3/readme.html
It’s possible that there are incompatibilities, which would necessitate modifying Lua scripts , but for me personally, I don’t mind changing my scripts if I have to. In fact, I *want* to change my scripts in order to make use of some new features, in particular the bitwise operators[1]. To me, the perfect time to update would be for the next Wireshark 3.0 release. Previous discussion starts here: https://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev/201608/msg00082.html. Maybe João, Pascal, Peter, Hadriel and others would like to weigh in again here? - Chris From: Wireshark-dev [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Pascal Quantin Sent: Thursday, July 12, 2018 2:46 PM To: Developer support list for Wireshark <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Lua update? Le jeu. 12 juil. 2018 à 20:44, Pascal Quantin <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> a écrit : Hi Chris, Le jeu. 12 juil. 2018 à 20:30, Maynard, Chris <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> a écrit : Is there any particular reason why Wireshark for Windows still ships with Lua 5.2.4? An upgrade to 5.3+ would be a welcome one. Thanks. Can our current code run fine with Lua 5.3/5.4? Based on previous discussions in -dev I thought it was not the case but maybe I'm wrong (I'm not a Lua user myself and this is based on exchanges from a few years ago). If it is safe, I will happily update the package. And would the existing scripts be compatible with Lua 5.3 or 5.4? Pascal.
