which Lua version does ConTeXt use? The following:

5.5

echo print('== ConTeXt: this is ' .. _VERSION .. ' ==') > CtxLuaVer~.lua tex\texmf-mswin\bin\luametatex.exe --luaonly CtxLuaVer~.lua > CtxLuaVer~.log

yields

== ConTeXt: this is Lua 5.5 ==

whilst the latest Lua version released on https://www.lua.org is 5.4.7.

Yes, LuaMetaTeX uses the unreleased beta of Lua 5.5; Hans even helped fixing some problems. Hraban
