+- Added `Lua::into_static()` to make `'static` Lua state. This is useful to spawn async Lua threads that requires `'static`.
+- New function `Lua::set_memory_limit()` (similar to `rlua`) to enable memory restrictions in Lua VM (requires Lua >= 5.2).
+- `Scope`, temporary removed in v0.3, is back with async support.
+- Removed deprecated `Table::call()` function.
+- Added hooks support (backported from rlua 0.17).
+- New `AnyUserData::has_metamethod()` function.
+- LuaJIT 2.0.5 (the latest stable) support.
+- Various bug fixes and improvements.

 [Guided Tour](examples/guided_tour.rs)
 
-A fork of [rlua 0.15](https://github.com/kyren/rlua/tree/0.15.3) which provides a high level
-interface between Rust and Lua. Unlike `rlua` , `mlua` supports Lua 5.1 (including LuaJIT), 5.2 and 5.3.
-The `mlua` goal is to be an easy to use, practical and flexible API between Rust and Lua but
-*__not__* always 100% safe due to the Lua VM nature. Also, `mlua` provides a way to write native lua
-modules in Rust.
+`mlua` is bindings to [Lua](https://www.lua.org) programming language for Rust with a goal to provide
+_safe_ (as far as it's possible), high level, easy to use, practical and flexible API.
 
-### Usage
+Started as `rlua` fork, `mlua` supports Lua 5.4, 5.3, 5.2, 5.1 (including LuaJIT) and [Roblox Luau] and allows to write native Lua modules in Rust as well as use Lua in a standalone mode.
+
+`mlua` tested on Windows/macOS/Linux including module mode in [GitHub Actions] on `x86_64` platform and cross-compilation to `aarch64` (other targets are also supported).
+
+[GitHub Actions]: https://github.com/khvzak/mlua/actions
+[Roblox Luau]: https://luau-lang.org
+
+## Usage
+
+### Feature flags
+
+`mlua` uses feature flags to reduce the amount of dependencies, compiled code and allow to choose only required set of features.
+Below is a list of the available feature flags. By default `mlua` does not enable any features.
+
+* `lua54`: activate Lua [5.4] support
+* `lua53`: activate Lua [5.3] support
+* `lua52`: activate Lua [5.2] support
+* `lua51`: activate Lua [5.1] support
+* `luajit`: activate [LuaJIT] support
+* `luajit52`: activate [LuaJIT] support with partial compatibility with Lua 5.2
+* `luau`: activate [Luau] support (auto vendored mode)
+* `vendored`: build static Lua(JIT) library from sources during `mlua` compilation using [lua-src] or [luajit-src] crates
+* `module`: enable module mode (building loadable `cdylib` library for Lua)
+* `async`: enable async/await support (any executor can be used, eg. [tokio] or [async-std])
+* `send`: make `mlua::Lua` transferable across thread boundaries (adds [`Send`] requirement to `mlua::Function` and `mlua::UserData`)
+* `serialize`: add serialization and deserialization support to `mlua` types using [serde] framework
+* `macros`: enable procedural macros (such as `chunk!`)
+* `parking_lot`: support UserData types wrapped in [parking_lot]'s primitives (`Arc<Mutex>` and `Arc<RwLock>`)

+
+### Async/await support
+
+`mlua` supports async/await for all Lua versions including Luau.
+
+This works using Lua [coroutines](https://www.lua.org/manual/5.3/manual.html#2.6) and require running [Thread](https://docs.rs/mlua/latest/mlua/struct.Thread.html) along with enabling `feature = "async"` in `Cargo.toml`.
+
+**Examples**:
+- [HTTP Client](examples/async_http_client.rs)
+- [HTTP Client (json)](examples/async_http_reqwest.rs)
+- [HTTP Server](examples/async_http_server.rs)
+- [TCP Server](examples/async_tcp_server.rs)
+
+### Serialization (serde) support
+
+With `serialize` feature flag enabled, `mlua` allows you to serialize/deserialize any type that implements [`serde::Serialize`] and [`serde::Deserialize`] into/from [`mlua::Value`]. In addition `mlua` provides [`serde::Serialize`] trait implementation for it (including `UserData` support).
+
+[Example](examples/serialize.rs)
+
+[`serde::Serialize`]: https://docs.serde.rs/serde/ser/trait.Serialize.html
+[`serde::Deserialize`]: https://docs.serde.rs/serde/de/trait.Deserialize.html
+[`mlua::Value`]: https://docs.rs/mlua/latest/mlua/enum.Value.html
+
+### Compiling
+
+You have to enable one of the features: `lua54`, `lua53`, `lua52`, `lua51`, `luajit(52)` or `luau`, according to the chosen Lua version.
+
+By default `mlua` uses `pkg-config` tool to find lua includes and libraries for the chosen Lua version.
+In most cases it works as desired, although sometimes could be more preferable to use a custom lua library.
+To achieve this, mlua supports `LUA_INC`, `LUA_LIB`, `LUA_LIB_NAME` and `LUA_LINK` environment variables.
+`LUA_LINK` is optional and may be `dylib` (a dynamic library) or `static` (a static library, `.a` archive).
+
+An example how to use them:
+``` sh
+my_project $ LUA_INC=$HOME/tmp/lua-5.2.4/src LUA_LIB=$HOME/tmp/lua-5.2.4/src LUA_LIB_NAME=lua LUA_LINK=static cargo build
+```
+
+`mlua` also supports vendored lua/luajit using the auxiliary crates [lua-src](https://crates.io/crates/lua-src) and
+[luajit-src](https://crates.io/crates/luajit-src).
+Just enable the `vendored` feature and cargo will automatically build and link specified lua/luajit version. This is the easiest way to get started with `mlua`.
+
+### Standalone mode
+In a standalone mode `mlua` allows to add to your application scripting support with a gently configured Lua runtime to ensure  safety and soundness.

+In a module mode `mlua` allows to create a compiled Lua module that can be loaded from Lua code using [`require`](https://www.lua.org/manual/5.4/manual.html#pdf-require).

+On macOS, you need to set additional linker arguments. One option is to compile with `cargo rustc --release -- -C link-arg=-undefined -C link-arg=dynamic_lookup`, the other is to create a `.cargo/config` with the following content:

+[target.x86_64-apple-darwin]
+rustflags = [
+  "-C", "link-arg=-undefined",
+  "-C", "link-arg=dynamic_lookup",

+  "-C", "link-arg=dynamic_lookup",
+]
+```
+On Linux you can build modules normally with `cargo build --release`.
+Vendored and non-vendored builds are supported for these OS.
+
+On Windows `vendored` mode for modules is not supported since you need to link to a Lua dll.
+Easiest way is to use either MinGW64 (as part of [MSYS2](https://github.com/msys2/msys2) package) with `pkg-config` or
+MSVC with `LUA_INC` / `LUA_LIB` / `LUA_LIB_NAME` environment variables.

 ## Safety
 
 One of the `mlua` goals is to provide *safe* API between Rust and Lua.
-Every place where the Lua C API may trigger an error longjmp
-in any way is protected by `lua_pcall` , and the user of the library is protected
-from directly interacting with unsafe things like the Lua stack, and there is
-overhead associated with this safety.

 Unfortunately, `mlua` does not provide absolute safety even without using `unsafe` .
-This library contains a huge amount of unsafe code. There are almost
-certainly bugs still lurking in this library!  It is surprisingly, fiendishly
-difficult to use the Lua C API without the potential for unsafety.

 ## Panic handling
 
 `mlua` wraps panics that are generated inside Rust callbacks in a regular Lua error. Panics could be

 Below is a list of `mlua` behaviors that should be considered a bug.
 If you encounter them, a bug report would be very welcome:
 
-  + If your program panics with a message that contains the string "mlua internal error", this is a  bug.
+  + If you can cause UB with `mlua` without typing the word "unsafe", this is a bug.
 
-  + The above is true even for the internal panic about running out of stack space!  There are a few ways to generate normal script errors by running out of stack, but if you encounter a *panic* based on running out of stack, this is a bug.
+  + If your program panics with a message that contains the string "mlua internal error", this is a bug.
 
-  + Lua C API errors are handled by lonjmp. All instances where the Lua C API would otherwise longjmp over calling stack frames should be guarded against, except in internal callbacks where this is intentional. If you detect that `mlua` is triggering a longjmp over your Rust stack frames, this is a bug!

This guarantee does not extend to panics marked with "mlua internal error" simply because that is already indicative of a separate bug.

+/// ## Syntax issues
+///
+/// Since the Rust tokenizer will tokenize Lua code, this imposes some restrictions.

+///
+/// - Use double quoted strings (`""`) instead of single quoted strings (`''`).
+///
+///   (Single quoted strings only work if they contain a single character, since in Rust,

+/// - Using Lua comments `--` is not desirable in **stable** Rust and can have bad side effects.
+///
+///   This is because procedural macros have Line/Column information available only in
+///   **nightly** Rust. Instead, Lua chunks represented as a big single line of code in stable Rust.
+///
+///   As workaround, Rust comments `//` can be used.
+///
+/// Other minor limitations:
+///
+/// - Certain escape codes in string literals don't work.
+///   (Specifically: `\a`, `\b`, `\f`, `\v`, `\123` (octal escape codes), `\u`, and `\U`).
+///
+///   These are accepted: : `\\`, `\n`, `\t`, `\r`, `\xAB` (hex escape codes), and `\0`.
+///
+/// - The `//` (floor division) operator is unusable, as its start a comment.
