2019-11-20 Thread Henri Menke
Dear list, The following Lua script behaves differently when executed in Lua vs. LuaTeX. print(os.execute("date")) It seems that the definition of os_execute in loslibext.c was copied over from Lua 5.1 and not adapted to newer versions. $ lua5.1 test.lua 0 $ lua5.2 test.lua
