Functions \verb'date' and \verb'time' (from \verb'iolib')
have been superseded by the new version of function \verb'date'.
\item
Function \verb'append' (from \verb'iolib') now returns 1 whenever it succeeds,
whether the file is new or not.
\item
Function \verb'int2str' (from \verb'strlib') has been superseded by new
function \verb'format', with parameter \verb'"%c"'.

The lock mechanism has been superseded by the reference mechanism.
The API lock mechanism has been superseded by the reference mechanism.
However, \verb-lua.h- provides compatibility macros,
so there is no need to change programs.
