# What's changed?
* Fix up the `std::iterator_traits` definitions for some Luau data
structures.
* Replace some of the usages of `std::unordered_set` and
`std::unordered_map` with Luau-provided data structures to increase
performance and reduce overall number of heap allocations.
* Update some of the documentation links in comments throughout the
codebase to correctly point to the moved repository.
* Expanded JSON encoder for AST to support singleton types.
* Fixed a bug in `luau-analyze` where exceptions in the last module
being checked during multithreaded analysis would not be rethrown.
### New type solver
* Introduce a `refine` type family to handle deferred refinements during
type inference, replacing the old `RefineConstraint`.
* Continued work on the implementation of type states, fixing some known
bugs/blockers.
* Added support for variadic functions in new non-strict mode, enabling
broader support for builtins and the Roblox API.

- Implemented [Require by String with Relative
Paths](https://github.com/luau-lang/rfcs/blob/master/docs/new-require-by-string-semantics.md)
RFC
- Implemented [Require by String with
Aliases](https://github.com/luau-lang/rfcs/blob/master/docs/require-by-string-aliases.md)
RFC with support for `paths` and `alias` arrays in .luarc
- Added SUBRK and DIVRK bytecode instructions to speed up
constant-number and constant/number operations
- Added `--vector-lib`, `--vector-ctor` and `--vector-type` options to
luau-compile to support code with vectors
New Solver
- Correctness fixes to subtyping
- Improvements to dataflow analysis
Native Code Generation
- Added bytecode analysis pass to predict type tags used in operations
- Fixed rare cases of numerical loops being generated without an
interrupt instruction
- Restored optimization data propagation into the linear block
- Duplicate buffer length checks are optimized away
Miscellaneous
- Small performance improvements to new non-strict mode
- Introduced more scripts for fuzzing Luau and processing the results,
including fuzzer build support for CMake
