We're at 5.1 yes? Will CC ever support 5.2? I hope so.. why not? I remember reading (forever ago) that there's some reason we haven't upgraded... anyone want to fill me in?

I think it was for backwards compatibility with older CC versions...

The problem with upgrading to 5.2 from what I was told by Dan, was that it would break almost everything ComputerCraft is based on. Not sure why, but that's the reason I was given.

Yeah I seem to remember the reason was based on the fact that the advantage it gave was not worth the amount of scripts it would break. However given the update from CC 1.5 to CC 1.6 and how much that broke, this may not be Dan's philosophy anymore. I suppose we shall just have to wait and see.

For one, it removes getfenv and setfenv, which would break the os.loadAPI code.

Which could just be rewritten/modified to use the global _ENV to make environments rather than getfenv/setfenv.
