Status

+LuaJIT 2.0 is the current +stable branch. This branch is in +feature-freeze — new features will only be added to LuaJIT 2.1. +

+ +

Current Status

+LuaJIT ought to run all Lua 5.1-compatible source code just fine. +It's considered a serious bug if the VM crashes or produces unexpected +results — please report this. +

+Known incompatibilities and issues in LuaJIT 2.0: +

+There are some differences in implementation-defined behavior. +These either have a good reason, are arbitrary design choices +or are due to quirks in the VM. The latter cases may get fixed if a +demonstrable need is shown. +
+The Lua debug API is missing a couple of features (return +hooks for non-Lua functions) and shows slightly different behavior +in LuaJIT (no per-coroutine hooks, no tail call counting). +
+Currently some out-of-memory errors from on-trace code are not +handled correctly. The error may fall through an on-trace +pcall or it may be passed on to the function set with +lua_atpanic on x64. This issue will be fixed with the new +garbage collector. +
