Hi,

I apologize for being slow to test 5.3.5 on FreeBSD. The extra
-DLUA_USE_READLINE in the FreeBSD target causes compiler warnings:

My shame is heavy. I have patched it in the FreeBSD port I will submit
shortly.

My fault really. I copied the FreeBSD recipe from the 5.4.0 Makefile.
The fix is of course to remove -DLUA_USE_READLINE from the recipe.
Thanks for the report.

Hi,

The port patch for Lua 5.3.5 on FreeBSD is in review here:

https://reviews.freebsd.org/D13690

It's largely identical to the 5.4 patch here:

https://reviews.freebsd.org/D14709.

Thank you to Andrew Gierth and duarnimator for their help.

Hi!

Just compiled under Windows 7 (64 bit OS) with TDM-GCC 5.1.0 (32 bit
version).

Compilation successful.

I also ran the 5.3.4 test suite and it was OK.

BTW, on the site there is no 5.3.5 test suite.
Is this intended?

Cheers!

There is no test suite for Lua 5.3.5. Use the one for Lua 5.3.4.

There is no test suite for Lua 5.3.5. Use the one for Lua 5.3.4.

OK, thanks.

Maybe it could be worthwhile to add a note about this on the test-suite
page, so that people wanting to test the final version of Lua 5.3 know
they are supposed to use the suite for Lua 5.3.4 (or maybe it is just
less hassle to provide the old suite also under the "5.3.5" name).

Oh, thanks. I missed that text in parentheses.

Well, I'd move that annotation in parentheses in a dedicated sentence,
otherwise it can be easily missed skimming the text.

Maybe like this:

----------------------------------------------------------------
Download the test suite for your release of Lua and follow the
instructions below to run basic, complete, and internal tests.

If there is no suite that matches your release, please choose the one
having the next higher version number.
----------------------------------------------------------------

BTW, I hope I interpreted well what you meant by "the closest one".
