   cache self-invalidates when the modules that built it are recompiled; hosts
   that hot-load new code in `:embedded` mode (releases) can force a rebuild
   with `Lua.VM.Bootstrap.reset/0` (#398).
+- The VM dispatcher and call convention were reworked to cut per-call and
+  per-iteration overhead: register files are built in a single allocation with
+  static-arity opcodes and `call_self` fusion (#405), and the dispatcher trims
+  work on the hot path for calls and loop iterations (#401).
+- The compiler gained a peephole pass that emits fused and constant opcodes
+  (#403), and now does more work once at compile time: node ids are stamped a
+  single time (#416), scope resolution is keyed by node id with deduplicated
+  upvalue descriptors (#400), and the lexer slices tokens directly from the
+  source binary instead of building per-character position maps (#399).
+
+### Fixed
+- Comments between a bare `return` and its terminator (`end`, `until`, or
+  end-of-chunk) now parse instead of raising a syntax error (#418).
+- Lua patterns honour the `^` anchor in `string.gsub` and treat a leading `^`
+  as a literal caret in `string.gmatch`, matching Lua 5.3 semantics (#406).
+- Encoding or decoding cyclic tables at the eval boundary no longer recurses
+  unboundedly (#407).
