There are minor compatibility changes, but these shouldn't be issues for nearly all scripts.\r\n\r\nMore valuable, though, would be to allow the use of LuaJIT. This lets authors of Lua writers ship code that calls C APIs without any need to build and dynamically link libraries. For instance, one could ship a Lua writer with a built in binding to libjpeg to do on-the-fly jpeg munging."}}
