Thank you very much, Mark. It seems that you have quite a large base
of beta testers to spot the most obscure bugs... :-)
this is excellent for LuaJIT2 as it will permit to rapidly improve the
code for a final future release.

I guess also that the FFI introduction for a beta is going to add a
lot of more work to reach a stable release because it did introduce a
lot of new features that, multiplied by the N possible platforms, can
potentially introduce an number of bugs.

Anyway, I believe that most of us are already happy with the beta
releases of LuaJIT2 since it is really usable in many case even if may
be not in a production environment.

Thanks again and best regards,
