Prerequisites

  • I have searched all issues/PRs to ensure it has not already been reported or fixed.

Criteria

  • Non-GUI tool
  • Reasonably well-known and widely used (e.g. if it's a GitHub project, it should have at least 500 stars and/or 150 forks)
  • English interface (or at least English documentation)
  • Latest stable version
  • Full version (i.e. not a trial version)
  • Fairly standard install (e.g. uses a version-specific download URL, no elaborate pre/post install scripts)

Name

lua55

Description

Lua 5.5 is early release but is officially stable since ~2026 (no longer in RC4 stage)

Some Indication of Popularity/Repute

the current lua package is 'lua 5.4' and this needs to be fixed.
additionally, add lua54 to versions bucket
