Comment 10 for bug 587597

Both approaches are good... though in a sense since bcdc still uses 5.1 the latter option might be better to start with, so users can just copy over their scripts from bcdc without changes (this would help in having users move from bcdc to DC++).

Also rember that it's not necessarily practical to think of the plugins (in this case the lua) as too much part of DC++ itself because plugin is an entirely separate entity from the main app itself (which is why they have they own version number).

I mean in theory the development of the lua plugin, at least in terms of released versions for example, doesn't need to be tied to those of DC++ at all (as long as the API does not change in a way that breaks compatibility which should be avoidable in most cases).
