Lua 5.3.0 was released: http://www.lua.org/versions.html#5.3 Lua 5.3 was released on 12 Jan 2015. Its main new features are integers, bitwise operators, a basic utf-8 library, and support for both 64-bit and 32-bit platforms.
Version 5.3.1 was released: http://www.lua.org/bugs.html#5.3.1
Any timeframe on when you're bumping lua? I'm really interested in this one, as it prevents haproxy from building with lua support.
I took a quick look at lua 5.3. and it seems to be pretty much the same as 5.2 build system wise, so a bump might be easy. Do you guys need any help? Are there some blockers or so?
grilo-plugins started to depend on this
media-gfx/ipe-7.1.7 depends on it, see bug 489190. what is delaying the lua bump?
In the meantime lua-5.3.2 is out, see www.lua.org/news.html
Hi all, I'll take a look at this again soon. The issues I am looking at for this are, 1. We are doing a lot of custom patching to offer lua as a shared library, which upstream does not support, so I don't think we should either. 2. Also, I'm not quite sure yet how the slotting/eselect setup is supposed to work. :-)
Haproxy's lua functionality is becoming very important, and is being shipped by many other distros (Ubuntu, RHEL). Will 5.3 be in Gentoo anytime soon?

I'll commit it pmasked soon, but lots of breakage expected :( As William mentioned before, we are discussing how to properly handle lua stuff for gentoo, because current situation is painful on this kind of upgrade.
Bumped to 5.3.3, masked for testing, as previously warned. Thanks
