 ### Added
 
+-   Added support for reading scripts from stdin by passing `"-"` as the script name
 -   Added support for close codes in the `net` WebSocket APIs:
     -   A close code can be sent by passing it to `socket.close`
     -   A received close code can be checked with the `socket.closeCode` value, which is populated after a socket has been closed - note that using `socket.close` will not set the close code value, it is only set when received and is guaranteed to exist after closure
 
 ### Fixed
 
+-   Fixed scripts having to be valid utf8, they may now use any kind of encoding that base Luau supports
 -   The `net` WebSocket APIs will no longer return `nil` for partial messages being received in `socket.next`, and will instead wait for the full message to arrive

 Lists all scripts found in `lune` or `.lune` directories, including any top-level description comments. <br />
 Lune description comments are always written at the top of a file and start with a lua-style comment arrow (`-->`).

 **_<sup>[1]</sup>_** _Lune also supports files with the `.lua` extension but using the `.luau` extension is highly recommended. Additionally, if you don't want Lune to look in sub-directories you can provide a full file path with the file extension included, instead of only the file name._
