VLM Telnet or LUA

What's about communication with VLM ?
I don't know what LUA is, but I read VLC 1.2.x will replace Telenet by LUA ? Is it also the case for VLM ?

the telnet module will become lua telnet.
So you will be able to manage VLM as before.

OK thanks !
And what's the difference ? Can you give me an exemple or a tutorial link to view format string ?

it's the same thing.
you connect with telnet and use the same commands.

OK so it's transparent for my software ? I don't understand how it's call LUA if it's a telnet connection ???

LUA is a programming language.
The telnet module is now written with this language

OK Thanks Sébastien I was totally OUT.

I believed LUA was a new interface that substitute Telnet.
