### What's new
* Fixed many of the false positive errors in indexing of table unions
and table intersections
* It is now possible to run custom checks over Luau AST during
typechecking by setting `customModuleCheck` in `FrontendOptions`
* Fixed codegen issue on arm, where number->vector cast could corrupt
that number value for the next time it's read
### New Solver
* `error` type now behaves as the bottom type during subtyping checks
* Fixed the scope that is used in subtyping with generic types
* Fixed `astOriginalCallTypes` table often used by LSP to match the old
solver

# What's Changed?
- Variety of bugfixes in the new solver
## New Solver
- Fix an issue where we would hit a recursion limit when applying long
chains of type refinements.
- Weaken the types of `table.freeze` and `table.clone` in the new solver
so we can accept common code patterns like `local a = table.freeze({x=5,
x=0})` at the expense of accepting code like `table.freeze(true)`.
- Don't warn when the # operator is used on a value of type never
## VM
- Fix a bug in lua_resume where too many values might be removed from
stack when resume throws an error

New Solver
* Fix some type inference issues surrounding updates to upvalues eg
```luau
local x = 0
function f()
x = x + 1
end
```
* User-defined type function progress
* Bugfixes for normalization of negated class types. eg `SomeClass &
(class & ~SomeClass)`
* Fixes to subtyping between tables and the top `table` type.

# 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
* A bug in exception handling in GCC(11/12/13) on MacOS prevents our
test suite from running.
* Parser now supports leading `|` or `&` when declaring `Union` and
`Intersection` types (#1286)
* We now support parsing of attributes on functions as described in the
[rfc](https://github.com/luau-lang/rfcs/pull/30)
* With this change, expressions such as `local x = @native function(x)
return x+1 end` and `f(@native function(x) return x+1 end)` are now
valid.
* Added support for `@native` attribute - we can now force native
compilation of individual functions if the `@native` attribute is
specified before the `function` keyword (works for lambdas too).
### New Solver
* Many fixes in the new solver for crashes and instability
* Refinements now use simplification and not normalization in a specific
case of two tables
* Assume that compound assignments do not change the type of the
left-side operand
* Fix error that prevented Class Methods from being overloaded
### VM
* Updated description of Garbage Collector invariant

### What's new
* Implemented parsing logic for attributes
* Added `lua_setuserdatametatable` and `lua_getuserdatametatable` C API
methods for a faster userdata metatable fetch compared to
`luaL_getmetatable`. Note that metatable reference has to still be
pinned in memory!
### New Solver
* Further improvement to the assignment inference logic
* Fix many bugs surrounding constraint dispatch order
### Native Codegen
* Add IR lowering hooks for custom host userdata types
* Add IR to create new tagged userdata objects
* Remove outdated NativeState

### 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

### What's new?
* Removed new `table.move` optimization because of correctness problems.
### New Type Solver
* Improved error messages for type families to describe what's wrong in
more detail, and ideally without using the term `type family` at all.
* Change `boolean` and `string` singletons in type checking to report
errors to the user when they've gotten an impossible type (indicating a
type error from their context).
* Split debugging flags for type family reduction
(`DebugLuauLogTypeFamilies`) from general solver logging
(`DebugLuauLogSolver`).
* Improve type simplification to support patterns like `(number |
string) | (string | number)` becoming `number | string`.
### Native Code Generation
* Use templated `luaV_doarith` to speedup vector operation fallbacks.
* Various small changes to better support arm64 on Windows.

# What's changed?
### New Type Solver
- Unification of two fresh types no longer binds them together.
- Replaced uses of raw `emplace` with `emplaceType` to catch cyclic
bound types when they are created.
- `SetIndexerConstraint` is blocked until the indexer result type is not
blocked.
- Fix a case where a blocked type got past the constraint solver.
- Searching for free types should no longer traverse into `ClassType`s.
- Fix a corner case that could result in the non-testable type `~{}`.
- Fix incorrect flagging when `any` was a parameter of some checked
function in nonstrict type checker.
- `IterableConstraint` now consider tables without `__iter` to be
iterables.
### Native Code Generation
- Improve register type info lookup by program counter.
- Generate type information for locals and upvalues

# What's changed?
* Improved the actual message for the type errors for `cannot call
non-function` when attempting to call a union of functions/callable
tables. The error now correctly explains the issue is an inability to
determine the return type of the call in this situation.
* Resolve an issue where tables and metatables were not correctly being
cloned during instantiation (fixes#1176).
* Refactor `luaM_getnextgcopage` to `luaM_getnextpage` (generally
removing `gco` prefix where appropriate).
* Optimize `table.move` between tables for large ranges of elements.
* Reformat a bunch of code automatically using `clang-format`.
### New Type Solver
* Clean up minimally-used or unused constraints in the constraint solver
(`InstantiationConstraint`, `SetOpConstraint`,
`SingletonOrTopTypeConstraint`).
* Add a builtin `singleton` type family to replace
`SingletonOrTopTypeConstraint` when inferring refinements.
* Fixed a crash involving type path reasoning by recording when type
family reduction has taken place in the path.
* Improved constraint ordering by blocking on unreduced types families
that are not yet proven uninhabitable.
* Improved the handling of `SetIndexerConstraints` for both better
inference quality and to resolve crashes.
* Fix a crash when normalizing cyclic unions of intersections.
* Fix a crash when normalizing an intersection with the negation of
`unknown`.
* Fix a number of crashes caused by missing `follow` calls on `TypeId`s.
* Changed type family reduction to correctly use a semantic notion of
uninhabited types, rather than checking for `never` types specifically.
* Refactor the `union` and `intersect` type families to be variadic.
### Native Code Generation
* Improve translation for userdata key get/set and userdata/vector
namecall.
* Provide `[top level]` and `[anonymous]` as function names to
`FunctionStats` as appropriate when no function name is available.
* Disable unwind support on Android platforms since it is unsupported.

# What's Changed
## New Type Solver
- Many more fixes to crashes, assertions, and hangs
- Annotated locals now countermand the inferred types of locals, meaning
that for a type `type MyType = number | string`, `local foo : MyType =
5` behaves the same as `local foo = 5 :: MyType`, where before, foo
would be assigned the type of the value on the rhs.
- Type Normalization now respects resource limits.
- Subtyping between classes and cyclic tables now supported
## Native Code Generation
- Work on the Native Code Generation(NCG) allocator continues

# What's changed?
Add program argument passing to scripts run using the Luau REPL! You can
now pass `--program-args` (or shorthand `-a`) to the REPL which will
treat all remaining arguments as arguments to pass to executed scripts.
These values can be accessed through variadic argument expansion. You
can read these values like so:
```
local args = {...} -- gets you an array of all the arguments
```
For example if we run the following script like `luau test.lua -a test1
test2 test3`:
```
-- test.lua
print(...)
```
you should get the output:
```
test1 test2 test3
```
### Native Code Generation
* Improve A64 lowering for vector operations by using vector
instructions
* Fix lowering issue in IR value location tracking!
- A developer reported a divergence between code run in the VM and
Native Code Generation which we have now fixed
### New Type Solver
* Apply substitution to type families, and emit new constraints to
reduce those further
* More progress on reducing comparison (`lt/le`)type families
* Resolve two major sources of cyclic types in the new solver
### Miscellaneous
* Turned internal compiler errors (ICE's) into warnings and errors

typechecking for function calls, pushing the expected parameter types
from the function onto the arguments.

New Solver
* New algorithm for inferring the types of locals that have no
annotations. This
algorithm is very conservative by default, but is augmented with some
control
flow awareness to handle most common scenarios.
* Fix bugs in type inference of tables
* Improve performance of by switching out standard C++ containers for
`DenseHashMap`
* Infrastructure to support clearer error messages in strict mode
Native Code Generation
* Fix a lowering issue with buffer.writeu8 and 0x80-0xff values: A
constant
argument wasn't truncated to the target type range and that causes an
assertion failure in `build.mov`.
* Store full lightuserdata value in loop iteration protocol lowering
* Add analysis to compute function bytecode distribution
* This includes a class to analyze the bytecode operator distribution
per
function and a CLI tool that produces a JSON report. See the new cmake
target `Luau.Bytecode.CLI`

# What's changed?
- Record the location of properties for table types (closes#802)
- Implement stricter UTF-8 validations as per the RFC
(https://github.com/luau-lang/rfcs/pull/1)
- Implement `buffer` as a new type in both the old and new solvers.
- Changed errors produced by some `buffer` builtins to be a bit more
generic to avoid platform-dependent error messages.
- Fixed a bug where `Unifier` would copy some persistent types, tripping
some internal assertions.
- Type checking rules on relational operators is now a little bit more
lax.
- Improve dead code elimination for some `if` statements with complex
always-false conditions
## New type solver
- Dataflow analysis now generates phi nodes on exit of branches.
- Dataflow analysis avoids producing a new definition for locals or
properties that are not owned by that loop.
- If a function parameter has been constrained to `never`, report errors
at all uses of that parameter within that function.
- Switch to using the new `Luau::Set` to replace `std::unordered_set` to
alleviate some poor allocation characteristics which was negatively
affecting overall performance.
- Subtyping can now report many failing reasons instead of just the
first one that we happened to find during the test.
- Subtyping now also report reasons for type pack mismatches.
- When visiting `if` statements or expressions, the resulting context
are the common terms in both branches.
## Native codegen
- Implement support for `buffer` builtins to its IR for x64 and A64.
- Optimized `table.insert` by not inserting a table barrier if it is
fastcalled with a constant.

# What's changed?
* Fixed a bug in type cloning by maintaining persistent types.
* We now parse imprecise integer literals to report the imprecision as a
warning to developers.
* Add a compiler flag to specify the name of the statistics output file.
### New type solver
* Renamed `ConstraintGraphBuilder` to `ConstraintGenerator`
* LValues now take into account the type being assigned during
constraint generation.
* Normalization performance has been improved by 33% by replacing the an
internal usage of `std::unordered_set` with `DenseHashMap`.
* Normalization now has a helper to identify types that are equivalent
to `unknown`, which is being used to fix some bugs in subtyping.
* Uses of the old unifier in the new type solver have been eliminated.
* Improved error explanations for subtyping errors in `TypeChecker2`.
### Native code generation
* Expanded some of the statistics recorded during compilation to include
the number of instructions and blocks.
* Introduce instruction and block count limiters for controlling what
bytecode is translated into native code.
* Implement code generation for byteswap instruction.

# New Type Solver
- Implement bidirectional type inference for higher order functions so
that we can provide a more precise type improving the autocomplete's
human factors.
- We seal all tables, so we changed the stringification to make it a
little lighter on users.
- Fixed a case of array-out-of-bound access.
- Type families no longer depends on `TxnLog` and `Unifier`.
- Type refinements now waits until the free types are sufficiently
solved.
# Native Code Generation
- Remove cached slot lookup for `executeSETTABLEKS` function because it
is a fallback in the event of a cache miss, making the cached slot
lookup redundant.
- Optimized repeated array lookups, e.g. `a[3]` in `a[3] = a[3] / 2` is
done once.
# Misc
- On some platforms, it is necessary to use `gmtime_s` with the
arguments reversed to get the current time. You can now define
`DOCTEST_CONFIG_USE_GMTIME_S` to build and run unit tests on those
platforms.

* Fix a use-after-free bug in the new type cloning algorithm
* Tighten up the type of `coroutine.wrap`. It is now `<A..., R...>(f:
(A...) -> R...) -> ((A...) -> R...)`
* Break `.luaurc` out into a separate library target `Luau.Config`. This
makes it easier for applications to reason about config files without
also depending on the type inference engine.
* Move typechecking limits into `FrontendOptions`. This allows embedders
more finely-grained control over autocomplete's internal time limits.
* Fix stability issue with debugger onprotectederror callback allowing
break in non-yieldable contexts
New solver:
* Initial work toward [Local Type
Inference](0e1082108f/rfcs/local-type-inference.md)
* Introduce a new subtyping test. This will be much nicer than the old
test because it is completely separate both from actual type inference
and from error reporting.
Native code generation:
* Added function to compute iterated dominance frontier
* Optimize barriers in SET_UPVALUE when tag is known
* Cache lua_State::global in a register on A64
* Optimize constant stores in A64 lowering
* Track table array size state to optimize array size checks
* Add split tag/value store into a VM register
* Check that spills can outlive the block only in specific conditions

* Progress toward a diffing algorithm for types. We hope that this will
be useful for writing clearer error messages.
* Add a missing recursion limiter in `Unifier::tryUnifyTables`. This was
causing a crash in certain situations.
* Luau heap graph enumeration improvements:
* Weak references are not reported
* Added tag as a fallback name of non-string table links
* Included top Luau function information in thread name to understand
where thread might be suspended
* Constant folding for `math.pi` and `math.huge` at -O2
* Optimize `string.format` and `%*`
* This change makes string interpolation 1.5x-2x faster depending on the
number and type of formatted components, assuming a few are using
primitive types, and reduces associated GC pressure.
New type checker:
* Initial work toward tracking the upper and lower bounds of types
accurately.
Native code generation (JIT):
* Add IrCmd::CHECK_TRUTHY for improved assert fast-calls
* Do not compute type map for modules without types
* Capture metatable+readonly state for NEW_TABLE IR instructions
* Replace JUMP_CMP_ANY with CMP_ANY and existing JUMP_EQ_INT
* Add support for exits to VM with reentry lock in VmExit

Type checker/autocomplete:
* `Luau::autocomplete` no longer performs typechecking internally, make
sure to run `Frontend::check` before performing autocomplete requests
* Autocomplete string suggestions without "" are now only suggested
inside the ""
* Autocomplete suggestions now include `function (anonymous autofilled)`
key with a full suggestion for the function expression (with arguments
included) stored in `AutocompleteEntry::insertText`
* `AutocompleteEntry::indexedWithSelf` is provided for function call
suggestions made with `:`
* Cyclic modules now see each other type exports as `any` to prevent
memory use-after-free (similar to module return type)
Runtime:
* Updated inline/loop unroll cost model to better handle assignments
(Fixes https://github.com/Roblox/luau/issues/978)
* `math.noise` speed was improved by ~30%
* `table.concat` speed was improved by ~5-7%
* `tonumber` and `tostring` now have fastcall paths that execute ~1.5x
and ~2.5x faster respectively (fixes#777)
* Fixed crash in `luaL_typename` when index refers to a non-existing
value
* Fixed potential out of memory scenario when using `string.sub` or
`string.char` in a loop
* Fixed behavior of some fastcall builtins when called without arguments
under -O2 to match original functions
* Support for native code execution in VM is now enabled by default
(note: native code still has to be generated explicitly)
* `Codegen::compile` now accepts `CodeGen_OnlyNativeModules` flag. When
set, only modules that have a `--!native` hot-comment at the top will be
compiled to native code
In our new typechecker:
* Generic type packs are no longer considered to be variadic during
unification
* Timeout and cancellation now works in new solver
* Fixed false positive errors around 'table' and 'function' type
refinements
* Table literals now use covariant unification rules. This is sound
since literal has no type specified and has no aliases
* Fixed issues with blocked types escaping the constraint solver
* Fixed more places where error messages that should've been suppressed
were still reported
* Fixed errors when iterating over a top table type
In our native code generation (jit):
* 'DebugLuauAbortingChecks' flag is now supported on A64
* LOP_NEWCLOSURE has been translated to IR
* Fixed indexing table intersections using `x["prop"]` syntax:
https://github.com/Roblox/luau/pull/971
* Add console output codepage for Windows:
https://github.com/Roblox/luau/pull/967
* Added `Frontend::parse` for a fast source graph preparation
* luau_load should check GC
* Work toward a type-diff system for nicer error messages
New Solver
* Correctly suppress errors in more cases
* Further improvements to typechecking of function calls and return
statements
* Crash fixes
* Propagate refinements drawn from the condition of a while loop into
the loop body
JIT
* Fix accidental bailout for math.frexp/modf/sign in A64
* Work toward bringing type annotation info in
* Do not propagate Luau IR constants of wrong type into load
instructions
* CHECK_SAFEENV exits to VM on failure
* Implement error handling in A64 reg allocator
* Inline the string.len builtin
* Do not enter native code of a function if arguments don’t match
