Please continue to post any issues on Bugs, and possible improvements on Suggestions. Many of the above changes came from the Suggestions Forum.

In the meantime, development continues on a number of big projects in the background, along the lines of what we've previously outlined on the "Game Development Direction" forum thread.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

My chat window thanks you for the out of missiles change!

Interestingly enough, there's a difference in behavior between the LuaJIT on Linux and on Android.

On Linux, it appears to have deprecated the use of `\` as an escape character in patterns (though `\n` did appear to still work)

On Android, `\` appears to still work fine as an escape character.

Do you know which is supposed to be the intended behavior with the new LuaJIT?

That sounds like an unintended consequence of another change. We'll look into it.

This is fixed in the latest update.
