Internal Lua interpreter upgraded to 5.1.5 bugfix release
From the commit logs to SCP's trunk codebase:

Upgrade internal Lua interpreter to 5.1.5 bugfix release; announcement details http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2012-02/msg00639.html
  • The FS2_Open engine uses the Lua interpreter behind the scenes to run your scripts
  • Lua 5.1.4 to Lua 5.1.5 is simply a bugfix release -- no compatability changes, deprecation or performance +/- expected
  • Not sure if this change will make it into 3.6.14 Final, but it will be in the nightly trunk builds when they recommence
  • Longer term, the move to Lua 5.2 will require some refactoring of the bindings between FS2_Open and Lua. This work should then allow a switch to the faster LuaJIT 2.x.

If you do notice any problems, please let me know here or by PM / IRC

Quote from IRC:
Code: [Select]
[15:30] Karajorma Ummmmm. I can't build trunk any more
[15:31] Karajorma "c1 : fatal error C1083: Cannot open source file: '..\..\lua\ltests.c': No such file or directory"
[15:40] CommanderDJ Karajorma: I'm trying it now to confirm.
[15:41] CommanderDJ Yep. Confirmed. Trunk does not build.
[15:44] Karajorma Well it's obviously E9's lua changes to blame

A little blunt perhaps, but yeah. Thought you should know.
[16:57] <CommanderDJ> What prompted the decision to split WiH into acts?
[16:58] <battuta> it was long, we wanted to release something
[16:58] <battuta> it felt good to have a target to hit
[17:00] <RangerKarl> not sure if talking about strike mission, or jerking off
[17:00] <CommanderDJ> WUT
[17:00] <CommanderDJ> hahahahaha
[17:00] <battuta> hahahaha
[17:00] <RangerKarl> same thing really, if you think about it

Well, someone needs to update the MSVC project files...
