| 73 | <ul> | ||
| 74 | <li>New features: | ||
| 75 | <ul> | ||
| 76 | <li>PPC port of LuaJIT is complete. Default is the dual-number port | ||

| 78 | at build time.</li> | ||
| 79 | <li>Add FFI callback support.</li> | ||
| 80 | <li>Extend <tt>-b</tt> to generate <tt>.c</tt>, <tt>.h</tt> or <tt>.obj/.o</tt> | ||
| 81 | files with embedded bytecode.</li> | ||
| 82 | <li>Allow loading embedded bytecode with <tt>require()</tt>.</li> | ||
| 83 | <li>From Lua 5.2: Change to <tt>'\z'</tt> escape. Reject undefined escape | ||
| 84 | sequences.</li> | ||
| 85 | </ul></li> | ||
| 86 | <li>Correctness and completeness: | ||

| 94 | <li>Fix forced unwinding triggered by external unwinder.</li> | ||
| 95 | <li>Record missing <tt>for</tt> loop slot loads (return to lower frame).</li> | ||
| 96 | <li>Always use ANSI variants of Windows system functions.</li> | ||
| 97 | <li>Fix GC barrier for multi-result table constructor (<tt>TSETM</tt>).</li> | ||
| 98 | <li>Fix/add various FOLD rules.</li> | ||
| 99 | <li>Add potential PHI for number conversions due to type instability.</li> | ||
| 100 | <li>Do not eliminate PHIs only referenced from other PHIs.</li> | ||
| 101 | <li>Correctly anchor implicit number to string conversions in Lua/C API.</li> | ||
| 102 | <li>Fix various stack limit checks.</li> | ||
| 103 | <li>x64: Use thread-safe exceptions for external unwinding (GCC platforms).</li> | ||
| 104 | <li>x64: Fix result type of cdata index conversions.</li> | ||
| 105 | <li>x64: Fix <tt>math.random()</tt> and <tt>bit.bswap()</tt> code generation.</li> | ||
| 106 | <li>x64: Fix <tt>lightuserdata</tt> comparisons.</li> | ||
| 107 | <li>x64: Always extend stack-passed arguments to pointer size.</li> | ||
| 108 | <li>ARM: Many fixes to code generation backend.</li> | ||
| 109 | <li>PPC/e500: Fix dispatch for binop metamethods.</li> | ||
| 110 | <li>PPC/e500: Save/restore condition registers when entering/leaving the VM.</li> | ||
| 111 | <li>PPC/e500: Fix write barrier in stores of strings to upvalues.</li> | ||
| 112 | </ul></li> | ||
| 113 | <li>FFI library: | ||
| 114 | <ul> | ||
| 115 | <li>Fix C comment parsing.</li> | ||
| 116 | <li>Fix snapshot optimization for cdata comparisons.</li> | ||
| 117 | <li>Fix recording of const/enum lookups in namespaces.</li> | ||
| 118 | <li>Fix call argument and return handling for <tt>I8/U8/I16/U16</tt> types.</li> | ||
| 119 | <li>Fix unfused loads of float fields.</li> | ||
| 120 | <li>Fix <tt>ffi.string()</tt> recording.</li> | ||
| 121 | <li>Save <tt>GetLastError()</tt> around <tt>ffi.load()</tt> and symbol | ||
| 122 | resolving, too.</li> | ||
| 123 | <li>Improve ld script detection in <tt>ffi.load()</tt>.</li> | ||
| 124 | <li>Record loads/stores to external variables in namespaces.</li> | ||
