Is Lua development stagnated, or are there still new versions planned?

I was looking into learning Lua because it has some interesting features (speed being one), and I noticed that there hasn't been a feature update since 2006. Has Lua development stopped? If it hasn't, where can I read about recent progress?

Edit: All caps Lua is what happens when you post on SO at 3 AM.

Solution

  • If you have a look at their mailing list, you'll see there are plenty active developers using Lua and also, there are plans for a 5.2 release. The main Lua developers are also very active in the mailing lists, and they discuss proposed new features with power-users too.

    Besides this, we'll have a Lua Workshop this year :)
