Lua 5.3 adds several awesome features of particular interest to nmap including
bitwise operators and integers, a utf8 library, and standard binary pack/unpack
functions.
In addition to adding Lua 5.3, this branch changes:
o Complete removal of the NSE bit library (in C), It has been replaced with
a new Lua library wrapping Lua 5.3's bit-wise operators.
o Complete removal of the NSE bin library (in C). It has been replaced with a
new Lua library wrapping Lua 5.3's string.pack|unpack functions.
o The bin.pack "B" format specifier (which has never worked correctly) is
unimplemented. All scripts/libraries which use it have been updated. Most
usage of this option was to allow string based bit-wise operations which are no
longer necessary now that Lua 5.3 provides integers and bit-wise operators.
o The base32/base64 libraries have been reimplemented using Lua 5.3's new
bitwise operators. (This library was the main user of the bin.pack "B" format
specifier.)
o A new "bits" library has been added for common bit hacks. Currently only has
a reverse function.
Thanks to David Fifield, Daniel Miller, Jacek Wielemborek, and Paulino
Calderon for testing this branch.

o http-open-redirect.nse
In the case of a few of these scripts the only thing that was updated was the example text as the scripts relied on the creds library which handles the strings internally.
with modifications from [2].
** Short description from [1] **
I have created a patch to NSE that replaces runlevels with a table of
dependencies that clearly outlines what other scripts the script
depends on. The table is of the form:
dependences = {"script1", script2", ...}
Runlevels become an internal representation of the order of scripts
that are generated by the dependencies. Dependencies only enforce
an execution order and not a requirement for execution.

1) I wrote a function that formats output from scripts in a consistent way. Although we haven't really come to a concensus on how it should look yet, it's easy to change when we do.
2) New script: smb-enum-groups.nse. Enumerate the local groups on a system and their membership.
* Updated the way authentication works on smb -- it's significantly cleaner now
* smb-enum-shares.nse gives significantly better output now (it checks if shares are writable)
* Added a script that checks if smbv2 is enabled on a server
* Added smb-psexec, a script for executing commands on a remote Windows server. I also included some default scripts, a compiled .exe to run everything, and a ton of documentation (in the form of NSEDoc)
* Added 'override' parameters to some of the functions in smb.lua, which lets the programmer override any field in an outgoing SMB packet without modifying smb.lua.
* Lots of random code cleanups in the smb-* scripts/libraries
