Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Lua version in wireshark

Hi all,

I have a question about Lua. I see that only versions < 5.2 are supported. I understand there are some incompatible changes in versions >= 5.3, is that right? Is there any plan eventually to move to newer versions? In Fedora, for instance, wireshark is being built with compat-lua which has the 5.1 version of Lua code. What are the main problems that block the transition to newer Lua?

Thank for any info about this.

Regards,

Michal
