Hi,
I think the "new garbage collector" is referring to
http://wiki.luajit.org/New-Garbage-Collector
Note that it's a completely new GC design, that's a separate thing
from GC64 mode, and, according to that page "to be introduced with
LuaJIT 3.0".
I suspect the "This issue will be fixed" part was removed because Mike
is no longer actively working on LuaJIT, and as a result LuaJIT 3.0,
and the new GC, might never happen.
Cheers,
Antal

Previously, in 2020, the "Current status" page of LuaJIT 2.1 documentation
(doc/status.html) contained the following text:
Currently some out-of-memory errors from on-trace code are not handled
correctly. The error may fall through an on-trace pcall or it may be passed
on to the function set with lua_atpanic on x64. This issue will be fixed
with the new garbage collector.
It seems LuaJIT does already have a new stable GC64.
Is the problem already solved?
It is strange that as of now the "Current status" page in LuaJIT 2.1 docs has
the OOM-errors paragraph still present, but its last sentence "This issue
will be fixed" has disappeared.
Was fixing removed from the future plans?
Or is it just a mistake in the documentation?
