## What's new
* Added `math.map` function to the standard library, based on
https://rfcs.luau-lang.org/function-math-map.html
* `FileResolver` can provide an implementation of
`getRequireSuggestions` to provide auto-complete suggestions for
require-by-string
## New Solver
* In user-defined type functions, `readproperty` and `writeproperty`
will return `nil` instead of erroring if property is not found
* Fixed incorrect scope of variadic arguments in the data-flow graph
* Fixed multiple assertion failures

# General Updates
Fix an old solver crash that occurs in the presence of cyclic
`requires()`
## New Solver
- Improvements to Luau user-defined type function library
- Avoid asserting on unexpected metatable types
- Properties in user defined type functions should have a consistent
iteration order - in this case it is insertion ordering
# Runtime
- Track VM allocations for telemetry

Noticed while using luau-ast that function attributes aren't included in
the output. This PR corrects that.

Closes#1460.
This renames the `type` field of `AstStatTypeAlias` to `value` during
the JSON encoding process.
I've chosen to just rename the field in the JSON encoder rather than
rename the actual field since it's a lot further reaching. Another
option would have been to rename what the actual type of an AST node is
written to be something like `tokenType` instead of `type`, but that's a
bigger diff and technically breaking (as opposed to this one which
isn't!)
# General Updates
* Fix some cases where documentation symbols would not be available when
mouseovering at certain positions in the code
* Scaffolding to help embedders have more control over how `typeof(x)`
refines types
* Refinements to require-by-string semantics. See
https://github.com/luau-lang/rfcs/pull/56 for details.
* Fix for https://github.com/luau-lang/luau/issues/1405
# New Solver
* Fix many crashes (thanks you for your bug reports!)
* Type functions can now call each other
* Type functions all evaluate in a single VM. This should improve
typechecking performance and reduce memory use.
* `export type function` is now forbidden and fails with a clear error
message
* Type functions that access locals in the surrounding environment are
now properly a parse error
* You can now use `:setindexer(types.never, types.never)` to delete an
indexer from a table type.

In this update, we continue to improve the overall stability of the new
type solver. We're also shipping some early bits of two new features,
one of the language and one of the analysis API: user-defined type
functions and an incremental typechecking API.
If you use the new solver and want to use all new fixes included in this
release, you have to reference an additional Luau flag:
```c++
LUAU_DYNAMIC_FASTINT(LuauTypeSolverRelease)
```
And set its value to `645`:
```c++
DFInt::LuauTypeSolverRelease.value = 645; // Or a higher value for future updates
```
## New Solver
* Fix a crash where scopes are incorrectly accessed cross-module after
they've been deallocated by appropriately zeroing out associated scope
pointers for free types, generic types, table types, etc.
* Fix a crash where we were incorrectly caching results for bound types
in generalization.
* Eliminated some unnecessary intermediate allocations in the constraint
solver and type function infrastructure.
* Built some initial groundwork for an incremental typecheck API for use
by language servers.
* Built an initial technical preview for [user-defined type
functions](https://rfcs.luau-lang.org/user-defined-type-functions.html),
more work still to come (including calling type functions from other
type functions), but adventurous folks wanting to experiment with it can
try it out by enabling `FFlag::LuauUserDefinedTypeFunctionsSyntax` and
`FFlag::LuauUserDefinedTypeFunction` in their local environment. Special
thanks to @joonyoo181 who built up all the initial infrastructure for
this during his internship!
## Miscellaneous changes
* Fix a compilation error on Ubuntu (fixes#1437)

In this update we improve overall stability of the new type solver and
address some type inference issues with it.
If you use the new solver and want to use all new fixes included in this
release, you have to reference an additional Luau flag:
```c++
LUAU_DYNAMIC_FASTINT(LuauTypeSolverRelease)
```
And set its value to `644`:

## New Solver
* Fixed a debug assertion failure in autocomplete (Fixes#1391)
* Fixed type function distribution issue which transformed `len<>` and
`unm<>` into `not<>` (Fixes#1416)
* Placed a limit on the possible normalized table intersection size as a
temporary measure to avoid hangs and out-of-memory issues for complex
type refinements
* Internal recursion limits are now respected in the subtyping
operations and in autocomplete, to avoid stack overflow crashes
* Fixed false positive errors on assignments to tables whose indexers
are unions of strings
* Fixed memory corruption crashes in subtyping of generic types
containing other generic types in their bounds

Github has deprecated `v1` and `v2` of `actions/upload-artifact` which
causes occassional CI failures and will affect our ability to make new
releases in the future. This PR updates the version used in
`release.yml`.
Fix for https://github.com/luau-lang/luau/issues/1406
While it is good to let ``index`` wait for the pending-expansion. To
re-produce the issue you need more than just this code:
https://i.imgur.com/b3OmUGF.png
It needs this, else it won't crash.
```lua
local function ProblemCauser(key: Keys, value)
PlayerData[key] = value
end
```
But regarding "pending things", I'd recommend **generalized functions**
for sanity checks like these, since there will be more cases of similar
issues I believe. But I am 100% sure that eventually this issue here can
maybe be prevented if looking at the Constraints. _(And optimization)_
Not sure if ``index`` needs the table fully completed, or if it is
preferred that the info is available based on **how much info is
available at the current position in the code**.
But if this gets done, I hope that they'll be connected to the Solver
Logger, because I actually refined mine with colors and more info _(yet
need to finish that)_ to understand the Luau Source Code more and to
debug issues.

Fixes https://github.com/luau-lang/luau/issues/1387
Was suggested by @alexmccord
I changed ``singletons[0]`` to ``singletons.front()``, unsure if that
makes a huge difference, and then I added the rest of the things needed
for the return type.
Maybe it's also the ideal location since doing it before looping through
``keys`` won't add the string into the type arena.
I put comments next to it based on how I thought it would make sense.
``LUAU_ASSERT`` seems to trigger when there's only one entry being put
inside a UnionType. It's as if it was put there for quality.
Allow edits by maintainers is enabled.
I tested this with a quick Unit Test something like
```lua
local test: keyof<typeof({a="test"})>
```
## New Solver
* The type functions `keyof` and `index` now also walk the inheritance
chain when they are used on class types like Roblox instances.
---------

### What's new
* Light update this week, mostly fast flag cleanups.
### New Solver
* Rename flag to enable new solver from
`DebugLuauDeferredConstraintResolution` to `LuauSolverV2`
* Added support for magic functions for the new type checker (as opposed
to the type inference component)
* Improved handling of `string.format` with magic function improvements
* Cleaning up some of the reported errors by the new type checker
* Minor refactoring of `TypeChecker2.cpp` that happens to make the diff
very hard to read.

### 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

I found that Luau failed to build on the devkitPro toolchain for 3DS.
This target uses an ILP32 model, and `int32_t` is an alias of `long`.
`BytecodeBuilder.cpp` includes a line where an `int` is passed by
reference to a function expecting an `int32_t`.
# What's Changed?
- Telemetry support for usage of any type in old/new solver
- Bug fixes and flag removals with the new solver
## New Solver
- Fixed constraint ordering bug to infer types more accurately
- Improved inferring a call to `setmetatable()`
## VM
- Restored global metatable lookup for `typeof` on lightuserdata to fix
unintentional API change (Fixes#1335)

Working towards a full e-graph implementation as described by the [egg
paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2004.03082).
The type system has a couple of places where e-graphs would've been
useful and solved some classes of problems trivially. For example:
1. Normalization and simplification cannot handle cyclic types due to
the nature of their implementation.
2. Normalization can't tell when two tables or functions are equivalent,
but simplification theoretically can albeit not implemented.
3. Normalization requires deep normalization for inhabitance check,
whereas simplification would've returned the `never` type itself
indicating uninhabited.
4. Simplification requires constraint ordering to have perfect timing to
simplify.
5. Adding a rewrite rule requires implementing it twice, once in
simplification and once again in normalization with completely different
code design making it hard to verify that their behavior is materially
equivalent.
6. In cases where we must cache for performance, two different types
that are isomorphic have different cache entries resulting in cache
misses.
7. Type family reduction can handle cyclic type families, but only if
the cycle is not obscured by a different type family instance. (`t1
where t1 = union<number, add<t1, number>>` is irreducible)
I think we're getting the point!
---
Currently the implementation is missing a few features that makes
e-graphs actually useful. Those will be coming in a future PR.
1. Pattern matching,
6. Applying rewrites,
7. Rewrite until saturation, and
8. Extracting the best e-node according to some cost function.
# What's Changed?
- Performance improvement in the old solver
- Bugfixes in the new solver
## Old Solver
- Mark types that do not need instantiation when being exported to
prevent unnecessary work from being done
## New Solver
- Refactored instances of "type family" with "type function"
- Index-out-of-bounds bug fix in the resolution resolver
- Subtyping reasonings are merged only if all failed

The description of SUBRK/DIVRK is out of sync with the VM code.
Comment:
```cpp
// SUBRK, DIVRK: compute arithmetic operation between the constant and a source register and put the result into target register
// A: target register
// B: source register
// C: constant table index (0..255); must refer to a number
LOP_SUBRK,
LOP_DIVRK,
```
VM snippet:
```cpp
VM_CASE(LOP_DIVRK)
{
Instruction insn = *pc++;
StkId ra = VM_REG(LUAU_INSN_A(insn));
TValue* kv = VM_KV(LUAU_INSN_B(insn));
StkId rc = VM_REG(LUAU_INSN_C(insn));
...
```
Right now, the commentLocations are not transferred over to the
SourceModule for definition files, like they are for normal source
modules. This means we lose out on finding documentation comments. We
add that in here
https://github.com/luau-lang/luau/issues/1137#issuecomment-2212413633
# What's Changed?
- Mostly stability and bugfixes with the new solver.
## New Solver
- Typechecking with the new solver should respect the no-check hot
comment.
- Record type alias locations and property locations of table
assignments
- Maintain location information for exported table types
- Stability fixes for normalization
- Report internal constraint solver errors.

### 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

`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

These were written before compiler optimizations and array invariant. It
is now impossible for t[1] to be stored in the hash part, as this would
violate the array invariant that says that elements 1..#t are stored in
the array.
For ipairs, it doesn't traverse the hash part anymore now, so we adjust
the code to make sure no elements outside of the 1..#t slice are
covered. For table.find, we can use find-with-offset to still access the
hash part.
Fixes#1283.
The comment gave an incorrect (reversed) version of the invariant, which
could be confusing for people who haven't read the full description in
lgc.cpp.
Unfortunately this change is difficult to flag.
Fixes#1282.
Implements the [Leading `|` and `&` in types](https://rfcs.luau-lang.org/syntax-leading-bar-and-ampersand.html) RFC.
The changes to the parser are exactly as described in the RFC.

The 'findBindingAtPosition' AstQuery function can be used to lookup a
local or global binding.
Inside of this function is a check to "Ignore this binding if we're
inside its definition. e.g. local abc = abc -- Will take the definition
of abc from outer scope".
However, this check is incorrect when we are looking up a global binding
at the start of a file.
Consider a complete file with the contents:
```lua
local x = stri|ng.char(1)
```
and we pass the location of the marker `|` as the position to the find
binding position. We will pick up the global binding of the definition
`string` coming from a builtin source (either defined via C++ code or a
definitions file and loaded into the global scope).
The global binding `string` will have a zero position: `0,0,0,0`.
However, the `findBindingLocalStatement` check works by looking up the
AstAncestry at the binding's defined begin position *in the current
source module*. This will then incorrectly return the local statement
for `local x`, as that is at the start of the source code. Then in turn,
we assume we are in the `local abc = abc` case, and end up skipping over
the correct binding.
We fix this by checking if the binding is at the global position. If so,
we early exit because it is impossible for a global binding to be
defined in a local statement.
### 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.
