How to use newer versions of LUA?

Hey, it’s my first topic in CoronaSDK forums!

I just noticed that we’re using LUA 5.1 when already LUA 5.4 came out.

print(\_VERSION)

Check official LUA Version history.

How can we update it to 5.4?

Thank you.

Hi @Le Mustage and welcome to the Corona community forums.

The short answer is you can’t.  We don’t use an external Lua compiler. Lua 5.1 is embedded into the Corona Core and if we upgraded the volume of potential breaking changes that we dropped on developers would be quite a painful update.
