Upgrade LUA 5.1 ==> 5.3

[emme]

Ciao,

on a PI based system is it possibile to upgrade LUA from actual 5.1 to 5.3?

The main reason of this is the posibility to use the UTF8 support now included in LUA...
I'v seen that the upgrade procedure is quite simple: install and symlink the executible as /usr/bin/lua but is this enogh for Domoticz or does it need to be recompiled?

ciao

Doesn't work that way.
Domoticz needs to be recompiled, Domoticz uses a compiled Lua version internally.
At the moment we are testing if Lua 5.3 is compatible.

btw:
Doesn't mean it will be implanted or not.
Two years ago Gizmocuz also tried to update Lua but there where major complications.
