What version of Lua is Mach 4 using?
« on: June 06, 2014, 01:41:33 PM »
Updating to a new version of Lua was mentioned with build 1817.  What version is it?  I expected to see 5.X in the about box but it says wxLua 2.8.12.3.  I don't know what makes one different from the other (don't care either, it will go over my head).  All I want to know is which reference manual/examples I should be looking at.

Thanks.

Your seeing the wxLua version (v 2.8.1.3) (wxLua wrap the wxWidgets library v 3.0.0)  If you append
Code: [Select]
.."Lua Version " .. _VERSION into the about dialog, you should see the Lua version, which is 5.2

Thanks.  Yes I see now.  I forgot things like that are built in (now i recall seeing things like that in other programs).

F5 + step through it:
Code: [Select]
print( _VERSION )
