# What's Changed?
- Code refactoring with a new clang-format
- More bug fixes / test case fixes in the new solver
## New Solver
- More precise telemetry collection of `any` types
- Simplification of two completely disjoint tables combines them into a
single table that inherits all properties / indexers
- Refining a `never & <anything>` does not produce type family types nor
constraints
- Silence "inference failed to complete" error when it is the only error
reported

### What's new?
* Remove a case of unsound `table.move` optimization
* Add Luau stack slot reservations that were missing in REPL (fixes
#1273)
### New Type Solver
* Assignments have been completely reworked to fix a case of cyclic
constraint dependency
* When indexing, if the fresh type's upper bound already contains a
compatible indexer, do not add another upper bound
* Distribute type arguments over all type families sans `eq`, `keyof`,
`rawkeyof`, and other internal type families
* Fix a case where `buffers` component weren't read in two places (fixes
#1267)
* Fix a case where things that constitutes a strong ref were slightly
incorrect
* Fix a case where constraint dependencies weren't setup wrt `for ...
in` statement
### Native Codegen
* Fix an optimization that splits TValue store only when its value and
its tag are compatible
* Implement a system to plug additional type information for custom host
userdata types

* Type inference of `a and b` and `a or b` has been improved (Fixes
https://github.com/Roblox/luau/issues/730)
* Improved error message when `for ... in x` loop iterates over a value
that could be 'nil'
* Return type of `next` not includes 'nil' (Fixes
https://github.com/Roblox/luau/issues/706)
* Improved type inference of `string` type
* Luau library table type names are now reported as `typeof(string)`/etc
instead of just `string` which was misleading
* Added parsing error when optional type alias type parameter wasn't
provided after `=` token
* Improved tagged union type refinement in conditional expressions, type
in `else` branch should no longer include previously handled union
options
- Improve refinement support for unions, in particular it's now possible to implement tagged unions as a union of tables where individual branches use a string literal type for one of the fields.
- Fix `string.split` type information
- Optimize `select(_, ...)` to run in constant time (~2.7x faster on VariadicSelect benchmark)
- Improve debug line information for multi-line assignments
- Improve compilation of table literals when table keys are constant expressions/variables
- Use forward GC barrier for `setmetatable` which slightly accelerates GC progress
