RiscLua update to 545VFP

To track Lua 5.4.5 rc1 RiscLua now has version 545VFP. This fixes bugs in Lua 5.4.4 and has some internal improvements.

Gavin,
I just tried to download RiscLua 545, I got the program zip file OK but the source zip fails with a Not found on this server error. Not super important but thought you should know.

Whoops. Missing hyphen on the webpage for 545vfp-src.zip is the problem. It should be OK now. Thanks for letting me know.

The current version of Lua is now 5.4.6, a hasty change. RiscLua is now version 546VFP. The change from 545VFP to 546VFP is miniscule, a couple of lines of source code, and unlikely to affect any RiscLua user who is not using multiple coroutines.

You might want to look at that, the links show and download a package labelled as 545, but the innards say “RiscLua 546VFP 2023/05/02”

Thanks. I know. Very gratifying that you have noticed. Should I leave things like that, for the sake of inertia, conservation of energy and the principle of living dangerously, or should I rename the zip file and the inner part of the link in case others suffer the same twinge of doubt? I ought to do the latter, of course. Eeny meeny, …. .

Tweak the nose of indolence and inertia? :)

The link to the 546 sources is 404-ing, too.

Sorry, it was that damned hyphen again. It should be OK now. Remember to clear the browser’s cache.
