+<tt>os.exit(status|true|false[,close])</tt>.</li>
+<li>Lua 5.2 <tt>__pairs</tt> and <tt>__ipairs</tt> metamethods
+(disabled by default).</li>
+<li>Initial release of the FFI library.</li>
+</ul></li>
+<li>Correctness and completeness:
+<ul>
+<li>Fix <tt>string.format()</tt> for non-finite numbers.</li>
+<li>Fix memory leak when compiled to use the built-in allocator.</li>
+<li>x86/x64: Fix unnecessary resize in <tt>TSETM</tt> bytecode.</li>
+<li>Fix various GC issues with traces and <tt>jit.flush()</tt>.</li>
