Hi,
Yes, there is no big difference mentioned in the history.txt, but it seems,
that there were more minor changes  if we compare the source for the two
versions. :-(
I submitted that bug report, because we experienced some strange errors while
running the Windows version that we could not reproduce on Linux.
On Linux, i used Lua 5.1.2 (packaged for Debian Lenny), but on Windows, i found
that the bundled Lua version was only 5.1.
I'm not sure that the version problems were related to Lua version 5.1 and
unfortunately i cannot test whether the problems appear on Lua 5.1.2 because i
don't have access to the Windows machine currently.

> Lua 5.1.1 - "luac5.1.exe" updated in the current zip to fix a problem with the
