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
* Added support for async typechecking cancellation using a token passed
through frontend options
* Added luaC_enumheap for building debug tools that need a graph of Luau
heap
In our new typechecker:
* Errors or now suppressed when checking property lookup of
error-suppressing unions
In our native code generation (jit):
* Fixed unhandled value type in NOT_ANY lowering
* Fast-call tag checks will exit to VM on failure, instead of relying on
a native fallback
* Added vector type to the type information
* Eliminated redundant direct jumps across dead blocks
* Debugger APIs are now disabled for call frames executing natively
* Implemented support for unwind registration on macOS 14
* 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
