v0.5.4

This reverts commit 7332c6a.
Non-static userdata is a special case and can cause segfault if try to serialize it.
Now it should be safe, plus I added non-static userdata destructor to generate better error messages
in case of accessing destructed userdata.

+## v0.5.4
+
+- Build script improvements
+- Improvements in panic handling (resume panic on value popping)
+- Fixed bug serializing 3rd party userdata (causes segfault)
+- Make error::Error non exhaustive
+
+## v0.5.3
+
+- Fixed bug when returning nil-prefixed multi values from async function (+ test)
+- Performance optimisation for async callbacks (polling)
+
+## v0.5.2
+
+- Some performance optimisations (callbacks)
+- `ToLua` implementation for `Cow<str>` and `Cow<CStr>`
+- Fixed bug with `Scope` destruction of partially polled futures
+
+## v0.5.1
+
+- Support cross compilation that should work well for vendored builds (including LuaJIT with some restrictions)
+- Fix numeric types conversion for 32bit Lua
+- Update tokio to 1.0 for async examples
+
+## v0.5.0
+
+- Serde support under `serialize` feature flag.
+- Re-export `mlua_derive`.
+- impl `ToLua` and `FromLua` for `HashSet` and `BTreeSet`
+
+## v0.4.2
+
+- Added `Function::dump()` to dump lua function to a binary chunk
+- Added `ChunkMode` enum to mark chunks as text or binary
+- Updated `set_memory_limit` doc
+
+## v0.4.0
+
+- Lua 5.4 support with `MetaMethod::Close`.
+- `lua53` feature is disabled by default. Now preferred Lua version have to be chosen explicitly.
+- Provide safety guaraness for Lua state, which means that potenially unsafe operations, like loading C modules (using `require` or `package.loadlib`) are disabled. Equalient for the previous `Lua::new()` function is `Lua::unsafe_new()`.
+- New `send` feature to require `Send`.
+- New `module` feature, that disables linking to Lua Core Libraries. Required for modules.
+- Don't allow `'callback` outlive `'lua` in `Lua::create_function()` to fix [the unsoundness](tests/compile/static_callback_args.rs).
+- 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.
+
+Started as [rlua](https://github.com/amethyst/rlua/tree/0.15.3) fork, `mlua` supports Lua 5.4, 5.3, 5.2 and 5.1 including LuaJIT (2.0.5 and 2.1 beta) 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 targes are also supported).

 ## Usage
 
-### Async
+### Feature flags
 
-Starting from 0.3, mlua supports async/await for all Lua versions. 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 `async` feature in `Cargo.toml`.
+`mlua` uses feature flags to reduce the amount of depenendies, 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
+* `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 usign [serde] framework

+### Async/await support
+
+`mlua` supports async/await for all Lua versions. 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)
 
-### Choosing Lua version
+### Serialization (serde) support
 
-The following features could be used to choose Lua version: `lua53` (default), `lua52`, `lua51` and `luajit`.
+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).
 
-By default mlua uses `pkg-config` tool to find lua includes and lib.
+[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` or `luajit`, according to the choosen 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).

 `mlua` also supports vendored lua/luajit using the auxilary 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.

 Add to `Cargo.toml` :

 ### Module mode
+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/5.3/manual.html#pdf-require). In this case `mlua` uses an external Lua runtime which could lead to potential unsafety due to unpredictability of the Lua environment and usage of libraries such as [`debug`](https://www.lua.org/manual/5.3/manual.html#6.10).

+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]

+]
+```
+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.
+
+More details about compiling and linking Lua modules can be found on the [Building Modules](http://lua-users.org/wiki/BuildingModules) page.

 ## 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.

+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.
