* For autocomplete, additional information is included in Scope for type
alias name locations and names of imported modules
* Improved autocomplete suggestions in 'for' and 'while' loop headers
* String match functions return types are now optional strings and
numbers because match is not guaranteed at runtime
* Fixed build issue on gcc 11 and up (Fixes
https://github.com/Roblox/luau/issues/806)
* Fixed unions of `nil` types displaying as `?`
* Internal normalization now handles class types which can make
previously failing (incorrectly) sub-typing checks to succeed
* Type mismatch errors now mention if unification failed in covariant or
invariant context, to explain why sometimes derived class can't be
converted to base class or why `T` can't be converted into `T?` and so
on
* Class type indexing is no longer an error in non-strict mode (still an
error in strict mode)
* Fixed cyclic type packs not being displayed in the type
* Added an error when unrelated types are compared with `==`/`~=`
* Fixed false positive errors involving sub-type tests an `never` type
* Fixed miscompilation of multiple assignment statements (Fixes
https://github.com/Roblox/luau/issues/754)
* Type inference stability improvements
Currently, the metatable of a class type var is not correctly checked to
see if it is callable (i.e. has a `__call` metatable).
We resolve this issue by checking the metatable in `checkCallOverload`
Fixes#756

* Reoptimized math.min/max/bit32 builtins assuming at least 2 arguments are used (1-2% lift on some benchmarks)
* Type errors that mention function types no longer have redundant parenthesis around return type
* Luau REPL now supports --compile=remarks which displays the source code with optimization remarks embedded as comments
* Builtin calls are slightly faster when called with 1-2 arguments (~1% improvement in some benchmarks)
- Fix rare type checking bugs with invalid generic types escaping the
module scope
- Fix type checking of variadic type packs in certain cases
- Implement type normalization, which resolves a large set of various
issues with unions/intersections in type checker
- Improve parse errors for trailing commas in function calls and type
lists
- Reduce profiling skew when using --profile with very high frequencies
- Improve performance of `lua_getinfo` (`debug.info`, `debug.traceback`
and profiling overhead are now 20% faster/smaller)
- Improve performance of polymorphic comparisons (1-2% lift on some
benchmarks)
- Improve performance of closure creation (1-2% lift on some benchmarks)
- Improve string comparison performance (4% lift on string sorting)
- Remove type definitions of
`utf8.nfcnormalize`/`nfdnormalize`/`graphemes` that aren't supported by
standalone Luau library
- Add `lua_costatus` to retrieve extended thread status (similar to
`coroutine.status`)
- Improve GC sweeping performance (2-10% improvement on allocation-heavy
benchmarks)
* Run clang-format
* Contains a preliminary implementation of deferred constraint resolution
* Reduce stack usage by some recursive functions
* Fix a bug when smartCloning a BoundTypeVar
* Remove some GC related flags from VM
- Type mismatch errors now show detailed information for compound types, highlighting the mismatching component
- Fix string.pack bug on ARM when packing negative numbers using unsigned formats
- Implement bit32.countlz/countrz (RFC RFC: bit32.countlz/countrz #89)
- Minor compiler throughput optimization (~2% faster compilation)
- Improve transpiler behavior for edge cases and better test coverage (not exposed through CLI at the moment)
- Improve error recovery when parsing invalid assignments
- Build fixes for fuzzing targets
- A series of major optimizations to type checking performance on complex
programs/types (up to two orders of magnitude speedup for programs
involving huge tagged unions)
- Fix a few issues encountered by UBSAN (and maybe fix s390x builds)
- Fix gcc-11 test builds
- Fix a rare corner case where luau_load wouldn't wake inactive threads
which could result in a use-after-free due to GC
- Fix CLI crash when error object that's not a string escapes to top level
- Fix Makefile suffixes on macOS
