- Improve ComparisonPrecedence lint suggestions for three-way comparisons (X < Y < Z)
- Improve type checking stability
- Improve location information for errors when parsing invalid type annotations
- Compiler now generates bytecode version 3 in all configurations
- Improve performance of comparisons against numeric constants on AArch64
- Fix autocomplete not suggesting globals defined after the cursor (fixes#622)
- Improve type checker stability
- Reduce parser C stack consumption which fixes some stack overflow crashes on deeply nested sources
- Improve performance of bit32.extract/replace when width is implied (~3% faster chess)
- Improve performance of bit32.extract when field/width are constants (~10% faster base64)
- Heap dump now annotates thread stacks with local variable/function names
* Adds a currently unused x86-64 assembler as a prerequisite for possible future JIT compilation
* Fix a bug in table iteration (closes Possible table iteration bug #504)
* Improved warning method when function is used as a type
* Fix a bug with unsandboxed iteration with pairs()
* Type of coroutine.status() is now a union of value types
* Bytecode output for tests/debugging now has labels
* Improvements to loop unrolling cost estimation
* Report errors when the key obviously doesn't exist in the table
- Improve refinement support for unions, in particular it's now possible to implement tagged unions as a union of tables where individual branches use a string literal type for one of the fields.
- Fix `string.split` type information
- Optimize `select(_, ...)` to run in constant time (~2.7x faster on VariadicSelect benchmark)
- Improve debug line information for multi-line assignments
- Improve compilation of table literals when table keys are constant expressions/variables
- Use forward GC barrier for `setmetatable` which slightly accelerates GC progress
- 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
