-- Update to Luau 0.590 (luau0-src to 0.7.x)
-- Fix loading luau code starting with \t
-- Pin lua-src and luajit-src versions
+- `UserDataMethods::add_async_method()` takes `&T` instead of cloning `T`
+- Implemented `PartialEq<[T]>` for tables
+- Added Luau 4-dimensional vectors support (`luau-vector4` feature)
+- `Table::sequence_values()` iterator no longer uses any metamethods (`Table::raw_sequence_values()` is deprecated)
+- Added `Table:is_empty()` function that checks both hash and array parts
+- Refactored Debug interface
+- Re-exported `ffi` (`mlua-sys`) crate for easier writing of unsafe code
+- Refactored Lua 5.4 warnings interface
+- Take `&str` as function name in `TableExt` and `AnyUserDataExt` traits
+- Added module attribule `skip_memory_check` to improve performance
+- Added `AnyUserData::wrap()` to provide more easy way of creating _any_ userdata in Lua
 
-## v0.8.9
+## v0.9.0-beta.3
 
-- Update minimal (vendored) Lua 5.4 to 5.4.6
-- Use `lua_closethread` instead of `lua_resetthread` in vendored mode (Lua 5.4.6)
-- Allow deserializing Lua null into unit (`()`) or unit struct.
+- Added `OwnedAnyUserData::take()`
+- Switch to `DeserializeOwned`
+- Overwrite error context when called multiple times
+- New feature flag `luau-jit` to enable (experimental) Luau codegen backend
+- Set `__name` field in userdata metatable
+- Added `Value::to_string()` method similar to `luaL_tolstring`
+- Lua 5.4.6
+- Application data container now allows to mutably and immutably borrow different types at the same time
+- Performance optimizations
+- Support getting and setting environment for Lua functions.
+- Added `UserDataFields::add_field()` method to add static fields to UserData
+
+Breaking changes:
+- Require environment to be a `Table` instead of `Value` in Chunks.
+- `AsChunk::env()` renamed to `AsChunk::environment()`
+
+## v0.9.0-beta.2
+
+New features:
+- Added `Thread::set_hook()` function to set hook on threads

+## v0.9.0-beta.1
+
+New features:
+- Owned Lua types (unstable feature flag)
+- New functions `Function::wrap`/`Function::wrap_mut`/`Function::wrap_async`

+- Added `create_userdata_ref`/`create_userdata_ref_mut` for scopes
+- Added `AnyUserDataExt` trait with auxiliary functions for `AnyUserData`
+- Added `UserDataRef` and `UserDataRefMut` type wrapped that implement `FromLua`

+  * Added `ErrorContext` extension trait to attach additional context to `Error`
+
+Breaking changes:
+- Refactored `AsChunk` trait

+- Added `&Lua` arg to Luau interrupt callback
+
+Other:
+- Better Debug for String
+- Allow deserializing values from serializable UserData using `Lua::from_value()` method
+- Added `Table::clear()` method
+- Added `Error::downcast_ref()` method
+- Support setting memory limit for Lua 5.1/JIT/Luau
+- Support setting module name in `#[lua_module(name = "...")]` macro
+- Minor fixes and improvements
