> What's new?
* Fragment Autocomplete: a new API allows for type checking a small
fragment of code against an existing file, significantly speeding up
autocomplete performance in large files.
> New Solver
* E-Graphs have landed: this is an ongoing approach to make the new type solver
simplify types in a more consistent and principled manner, based on
similar work (e.g.: https://egraphs-good.github.io/).
* Adds support for exported / local user type functions.
* Fixes a set of bugs in which the new solver will fail to complete
inference for simple expressions with just literals and operators.
> General
* It is now an explicit runtime error to `require` a path with a ".lua" or
".luau" extension, and the error message will suggest removing the extension.
```
require("path/to/mymodule.lua")
```
* Fixes a bug in which whether two `Symbol`s are equal depends on
whether the new solver is enabled.
- Add SUBRK and DIVRK bytecode instructions
- Enables future performance optimizations
Miscellaneous
- Small performance improvements to new non-strict mode
- Introduce more scripts for fuzzing
- Improcements to dataflow analysis
Changes:
- Support for time tracing for analysis/compiler (not currently exposed
through CLI)
- Support for type pack arguments in type aliases (#83)
- Basic support for require(path) in luau-analyze
- Add a lint warning for table.move with 0 index as part of
TableOperation lint
- Remove last STL dependency from Luau.VM
- Minor VS2022 performance tuning
