There has been a bug-fix of Lua released. The latest Lua version is now 5.1.2.

Version 3.80 of MUSHclient was released with Lua 5.1.1.

The changes in Lua 5.1.2 are noted here (that is, the bugs which were in 5.1.1, but not in 5.1.2):

http://www.lua.org/bugs.html#5.1.1

Most of the bug-fixes are fairly obscure, however if you want the latest version of the script engine, simply download this file, unzip it, and replace the lua5.1.dll in your MUSHclient installation directory with the one from the download. There is also a new version of lua5.1.exe for standalone operation.

The DLL has exactly the same name as before, which is required because MUSHclient is linked against the DLL name.

The new version is available at:

Lua 5.1.2 will be supplied with forthcoming releases (that is, MUSHclient 4.03 onwards).

One of the bugs fixed is one I reported to the Lua team myself. If you have Lua 5.1.1 you can try this:


/ print (os.date (""))

Output
Run-time error
Immediate execution
[string "Command line"]:1: 'date' format too long
stack traceback:
        [C]: in function 'date'
        [string "Command line"]:1: in main chunk

If you have Lua 5.1.2 you should simply see an empty string printed.
