luajson v1.3.4 Release Notes
============================

User Visible Changes
--------------------

Maintenance for older versions (ex: 1.0.x, 1.1.x, 1.2.x) will be on-demand. No
longer will changes be introduced there and trickled down.

The main changes for this release are:

 * Lua 5.3 and LuaJIT 2.1-beta support added.
 * LPEG 1.0.1 support verified.
 * Documentation enhancements:
   * README converted to MarkDown.
   * Address utility method documentation to address exposed
     public-use methods.
   * Address utility method documentation to call out unsupported
     internal methods.
 * Address GitHub issue #38:
  * A new allowEmptyElement option is available that will make
    array and map building more forgiving for missing entries.

Plans for next release
----------------------
At this point there are no particular strong plans for next release.

Enhancing error output and performance are goals, but not terribly high on my
priority list.
