* Added a limit on how many instructions the Compiler can safely produce
(reported by @TheGreatSageEqualToHeaven)
C++ API Changes:
* With work started on read-only and write-only properties,
`Property::type` member variable has been replaced with `TypeId type()`
and `setType(TypeId)` functions.
* New `LazyType` unwrap callback now has a `void` return type, all
that's required from the callback is to write into `unwrapped` field.
In our work on the new type solver, the following issues were fixed:
* Work has started to support https://github.com/Roblox/luau/pull/77 and
https://github.com/Roblox/luau/pull/79
* Refinements are no longer applied on l-values, removing some
false-positive errors
* Improved overload resolution against expected result type
* `Frontend::prepareModuleScope` now works in the new solver
* Cofinite strings are now comparable
And these are the changes in native code generation (JIT):
* Fixed MIN_NUM and MAX_NUM constant fold when one of the arguments is
NaN
* Added constant folding for number conversions and bit operations
* Value spilling and rematerialization is now supported on arm64
* Improved FASTCALL2K IR generation to support second argument constant
* Added value numbering and load/store propagation optimizations
* Added STORE_VECTOR on arm64, completing the IR lowering on this target
* `table.sort` was improved further. It now guarentees N*log(N) time
complexity in the worst case.
* Fix https://github.com/Roblox/luau/issues/880
We are also working on fixing final bugs and crashes in the new type
solver.
On the CodeGen front we have a few things going on:
* We have a smarter register allocator for the x86 JIT
* We lower more instructions on arm64
* The vector constructor builtin is now translated to IR

* Fix#817
* Fix#850
* Optimize math.floor/ceil/round with SSE4.1
* Results in a ~7-9% speedup on the math-cordic benchmark.
* Optimized table.sort.
* table.sort is now ~4.1x faster (when not using a predicate) and ~2.1x
faster when using a simple predicate. Performance may improve further in
the future.
* Reorganize the memory ownership of builtin type definitions.
* This is a small initial step toward affording parallel typechecking.
The new type solver is coming along nicely. We are working on fixing
crashes and bugs.
A few major changes to native codegen landed this week:
* Fixed lowering of Luau IR mod instruction when first argument is a
constant
* Added VM register data-flow/capture analysis
* Fixed issues with optimizations in unreachable blocks

* Fix autocompletion of if-then-else expressions
* Fix a potential crash surrounding improper use of `%*` in a string
format specifier
* All Python scripts now invoke Python via `python3` rather than
`python`.
* Improved error handling for string interpolation with too many
arguments.
