LuaJIT 2.1.0-beta2 has been released.
This is the second beta release for the new v2.1 branch.
The major addition over beta1 is the support for MIPS soft-float
targets. Cisco Systems, Inc. has sponsored the development of the
missing dual-number + soft-float functionality for the existing
MIPS32 port. The work has been carried out by RT-RK.
The MIPS port of LuaJIT can now be used on many more MIPS devices,
from tiny routers up to high-performance FPU-less MIPS SoCs.
Another critical change that needs wider testing is the switch to
an internal implementation for converting FP numbers to strings.
This feature has been contributed by Peter Cawley.
Various minor issues have been fixed, too. Please check the git
commit log for more details.

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 x64 (PS4, Xbox One), ARM/ARM64 (Android, iOS),
PPC (PS3, Xbox 360) and MIPS CPUs.
