Lua 5.1.3 patched DLL released

The Lua website has announced an official patch to Lua 5.1.3 (on 7th May 2008), here:

In the interests of staying up-to-date, I have compiled a version with the normal changes made for MUSHclient (basically, removing some deprecated options), and made a copy available here (102 Kb):

The md5sum for this file is:


2f06ac6a9f7edb0fc63bd6704149a941 *lua.5.1.3_patched.zip

C:\Program Files\MUSHclient

The changes from stock Lua 5.1.3 and the version above are:
