Lua 5.5: lua.exe, luac.exe, lua55.dll, lua55.lib

[LPr Pontex]

Hello,

AFAIK Lua 5.5 is under development, and source code is placed here:
https://github.com/lua/lua
Are also binaries from these source files maintained/generated automatically?
I'm interested in lua.exe (interpreter), luac.exe (compiler),
lua55.lib and lu55.dll (to be able to build some external libraries),
both for 32b and 64b platform, Windows (personally - as it's the OS
i'm working on).
Or where should the binaries take from?

Best regards,

Lukas

Development is closed. The Lua team syncs their work with the github repo you listed. Not sure what the frequency of that sync is.

I'm not aware of any binaries being generated from any development branch. There are some projects that build binaries. Your best bet probably is to build your own.
