I'm starting to learn Lua for the purpose of building gadgets for VCarve Pro 10.0. Where can I find information on which Lua version VCarve uses?
The current version is Lua 5.3.5 and it's been out for well over a year and Lua 5.3 dropped almost four years ago. The differences probably won't matter much but I want to make sure I'm using the correct reference materials, just in case there are bugfixes that affect what I might be working on.
Which version of Lua does VCarve use?

Have you tried printing the global variable _VERSION? Maybe MessageBox("Lua version " .. _VERSION)

My Aspire 10.512 says it's Lua 5.2!

I have found no real issues with any of the versions.
