Hey! I'm asie, and while I'm not an official certified OpenComputers developer, I contribute to the project from time to time. However, for a long time, I've had some types of patches in the pipeline that couldn't quite reach the upstream - fixes and changes like:
a screen renderer rewrite, with major performance boosts;
updates to JNLua and LuaJ, fixing bugs and significantly improving performance;
Lua 5.4.0 support.
For the purpose of testing these changes as a way to see if they are ready for mass adoption, I've created a fork of OpenComputers called OC-Staging. It
