+pdlua works with all Pd flavors out there and makes Pd external programming
+incredibly easy (please check the included examples and the tutorial in the
+corresponding subdirectories). Originally written by Claude Heiland-Allen,
+pdlua has gone through the hands of a few people over the years, including
+mrpeach (maintainer since 2011), zmoelnig a.k.a. umlaeute (loader update,
+Debian package), and myself (Arch package, Lua 5.3 support, tutorial). Please
+also check my brief account on the history of pd-lua below.
+
+Lua 5.3 is highly recommended with the latest version, Lua 5.4 should work as
+well. Lua 5.2 probably still works, too, but this hasn't been tested
+recently. Even older Lua versions are completely untested and unsupported at
+this point - use at your own risk.
+
+If you haven't used pdlua before, please make sure to check the included
+tutorial first. See:
+
+https://agraef.github.io/pd-lua/tutorial/pd-lua-intro.html
+
+This contains a fairly gentle introduction to pdlua, walks you through the
+creation of a basic example, and then goes on to cover all major features of
+pdlua, including the special facilities for tables, clocks, receivers, and
+live-coding, in quite some detail. This will be helpful when embarking on your
+own projects, or trying to make sense of the included examples.
+
+
+History and Credits:
+
+pdlua was originally written by Claude Heiland-Allen, with contributions by
+Frank Barknecht and Martin Peach, according to the original source.
+
+Claude's repository is still online at https://code.mathr.co.uk/pdlua; please
+also check Claude's website at https://mathr.co.uk/, and
+https://mathr.co.uk/blog/lua.html for Lua-related content on his blog
+(including pdlua's original announcement).
 
+Martin Peach took over maintenance of pdlua in 2011, you can find that part of
+the history in Pd's old svn repository at SourceForge, including IOhannes
+Zmölnig's loader update for Pd 0.47. See
+https://sourceforge.net/p/pure-data/svn/HEAD/tree/trunk/externals/loaders/pdlua/
 
-Lua 5.3 is highly recommended, older versions are untested and unsupported -
-use at your own risk.
+The present source is a fork of umlaeute's repository at
+https://anonscm.debian.org/git/pkg-multimedia/pd-lua.git, from which the
+official Debian packages are built. This in turn is apparently based on the
+0.7.3 version of pdlua in Pd's svn repository.
 
 
 Compilation Instructions:
 
 The source should compile out of the box on (at least) Linux, macOS and
 Windows, just make sure that you have Lua and Pd installed and run `make`.
-Ready-to-use binaries for the older Lua 5.2 version are available from Deken.
-The latest (Lua 5.3) binaries are on https://github.com/agraef/pd-lua.
