moonjit v2.1.2

Moonjit is a Just-In-Time Compiler (JIT) for the Lua programming language. Lua is a powerful, dynamic and light-weight programming language. It may be embedded or used as a general-purpose, stand-alone language.

Moonjit is a fork of the inactive LuaJIT project and aims to provide a way forward for existing users of LuaJIT looking for continuity in development and maintenance.

The v2.1.2 release of moonjit is intended as an update to fix errata in v2.1.1. Particularly:

• Fixed version numbers in jit/*.lua
• Documented a release process to ease future maintenance
• Backported ppc64le from master

Here are the highlights of the release since LuaJIT-2.1.0-beta3

• New architecture ppc64le
• New architecture s390x
• LuaJIT-test-cleanup merged into the main repo and can be used with make check and make bench
• Implemented CI using Azure pipelines
