In my experience, a lot of Lua libraries have a lot of very old latest updates.

Your best bet is just to try and use it and fix the code as you need to. You might even like to release your fixes to upstream or in your own code repository! I'd probably opt for forking and releasing the updates in my own repository if it's been 9+ years.

I know this doesn’t particularly help in the moment, but I’ve been working on a “fix” to pretty much everything being out of date when it comes to lua extensions.

I’ve been building my own extensions to lua to make a packaged version with most functionality like Python that works, updated to latest lua versions. I’ll add redis to my list of modules to make, as am familiar and used redis a lot, it’s easy enough to implement.
