Acknowledgments

Special thanks go to all our developers and contributors! Also thanks Thibault Charbonnier for his great help in preparing this release.

Version highlights

The highlights of this release candidate are:

  • We now load resty.core by default in ngx_lua and ngx_stream_lua. This behavior can be disabled with the new lua_load_resty_core directive. Note that the resty.core implementation is both safer and faster, but also required for complete ARM64 support.
