What is LuaJIT?
---------------

LuaJIT is a Just-In-Time (JIT) Compiler for Lua. It's upwards
compatible with standard Lua 5.1 and can significantly boost the
performance of your Lua programs.

LuaJIT is open source software, released under the MIT license.
LuaJIT builds out-of-the-box on most x86 or x64 operating systems
(Linux, Windows, OSX etc.) and can be cross-compiled for embedded
systems based on ARM (Android, iOS), PPC (PS3), PPC/e500 and MIPS CPUs.

Release Planning
----------------

IMPORTANT NOTE: This is the LAST BETA TEST RELEASE of LuaJIT 2.0!

The 2.0 branch is in feature-freeze now. The first LuaJIT 2.0.0
release candidate will follow in ~2 weeks. Please report any problems
you may find with this release AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! Thank you!
