<li>Change DynASM bit operations to use Lua BitOp</li>
<li>Translate only <tt>vm_*.dasc</tt> for detected target architecture.</li>
<li>Improve target detection for <tt>msvcbuild.bat</tt>.</li>
<li>Fix build issues on Cygwin and MinGW with optional MSys.</li>
<li>Handle cross-compiles with FPU/no-FPU or hard-fp/soft-fp ABI mismatch.</li>
<li>Remove some library functions for no-JIT/no-FFI builds.</li>
<li>Add uninstall target to top-level Makefile.</li>
</ul></li>
<li>Correctness and completeness:
<ul>
<li>Preserve snapshot #0 PC for all traces.</li>
<li>Fix argument checks for <tt>coroutine.create()</tt>.</li>
<li>Command line prints version and JIT status to <tt>stdout</tt>, not <tt>stderr</tt>.</li>

<li>Add missing declarations for MSVC intrinsics.</li>
<li>Fix dispatch table modifications for return hooks.</li>
<li>Workaround for MSVC conversion bug (<tt>double</tt> &rarr; <tt>uint32_t</tt> &rarr; <tt>int32_t</tt>).</li>
<li>Fix FOLD rule <tt>(i-j)-i => 0-j</tt>.</li>
<li>Never use DWARF unwinder on Windows.</li>
<li>Fix shrinking of direct mapped blocks in builtin allocator.</li>
<li>Limit recursion depth in <tt>string.match()</tt> et al.</li>
<li>Fix late despecialization of <tt>ITERN</tt> after loop has been entered.</li>
<li>Fix <tt>'f'</tt> and <tt>'L'</tt> options for <tt>debug.getinfo()</tt> and <tt>lua_getinfo()</tt>.</li>
