## What's Changed
- Improve POSIX compliance in `CLI/FileUtils.cpp` by @SamuraiCrow #1064
- `AstStat*::hasEnd` is deprecated; use `AstStatBlock::hasEnd` instead
- Added a lint for common misuses of the `#` operator
- Luau now issues deprecated diagnostics for some uses of `getfenv` and
`setfenv`
- Fixed a case where we included a trailing space in some error
stringifications
### Compiler
- Do not do further analysis in O2 on self functions
- Improve detection of invalid repeat..until expressions vs continue
### New Type Solver
- We now cache subtype test results to improve performance
- Improved operator inference mechanics (aka type families)
- Further work towards type states
- Work towards [new non-strict
mode](https://github.com/Roblox/luau/blob/master/rfcs/new-nonstrict.md)
continues
### Native Codegen
- Instruction last use locations should follow the order in which blocks
are lowered
- Add a bonus assertion to IrLoweringA64::tempAddr

Adds an option `compositeTypesSingleLineLimit` to control when
unions/intersections are broken up onto multiple lines when printed.
Simple unions/intersections will remain on one line. Default value is
set to `5`.
I took the liberty to always expand overloaded function intersections on
multiple lines, as I believe they are best viewed that way, even if
theres only 2 functions.
Closes#963
Some POSIX platforms, such as Haiku and some BSDs, don't supply DT_*
identifiers and the corresponding d_type field in stat. This fixes that
and has been tested to still work on 64-bit Linux as well as 64-bit
Haiku.
String interpolation and table.getn/et al deprecation has been live for
a while.
getfenv/setfenv linter diagnostics is going to ship in the next release,
so preemptively marking this as Implemented as well.
* Include `windows.h` rather than `Windows.h` to make things compile on
MinGW.
* Custom implementation of timegm/os.time for all platforms
* Disable builtin constant folding when getfenv/setfenv are used
* Fixes https://github.com/Roblox/luau/issues/1042
* Fixes https://github.com/Roblox/luau/issues/1043
New Type Checker
* Initial work toward type states.
* Rework most overloadable operators to use type families.
* Initial work toward our new nonstrict mode.
Native Codegen
* Fix native code generation for dead loops
* Annotate top-level functions as cold
* Slightly smaller/faster x64 Luau calls
* emitInstCall used to not set savedpc itself, but now it does for
consistency with all other implementations
* Implement cmov support for X64
* Fix assertion in luau-compile when module is empty
* Optimize A64 calls at some code size cost
* Inline constant array index offset into the load/store instruction
* Increase x64 spill slots from 5 to 13

Add a note about Lua 5.3 change to semantics of __eq metamethod.
We currently do not plan to implement this as this breaks backwards
compatibility and makes these operators harder to reason about from the
type checking perspective.
Fixes#1051.
# New Type Solver
- Implement bidirectional type inference for higher order functions so
that we can provide a more precise type improving the autocomplete's
human factors.
- We seal all tables, so we changed the stringification to make it a
little lighter on users.
- Fixed a case of array-out-of-bound access.
- Type families no longer depends on `TxnLog` and `Unifier`.
- Type refinements now waits until the free types are sufficiently
solved.
# Native Code Generation
- Remove cached slot lookup for `executeSETTABLEKS` function because it
is a fallback in the event of a cache miss, making the cached slot
lookup redundant.
- Optimized repeated array lookups, e.g. `a[3]` in `a[3] = a[3] / 2` is
done once.
# Misc
- On some platforms, it is necessary to use `gmtime_s` with the
arguments reversed to get the current time. You can now define
`DOCTEST_CONFIG_USE_GMTIME_S` to build and run unit tests on those
platforms.

error at times, indicating that type normalization in particular failed

been solved

Fixes: https://github.com/Roblox/luau/issues/913
This PR adds support for type refinements around guard clauses that use
`break` and `continue` statements inside a loop, similar to how guard
clauses with `return` is supported.
I had some free time today, so I figure I'd give a shot at a naïve fix
for this at the very least.
---
## Resulting Change:
Luau now supports type refinements within loops where a `continue` or
`break` guard clause was used.
For example:
```lua
for _, object in objects :: {{value: string?}} do
if not object.value then
continue
end
local x: string = object.value -- OK; Used to emit "Type 'string?' could not be converted into 'string'"
end
```

* Rerun clang-format on the code
* Fix the variance on indexer result subtyping. This fixes some issues
with inconsistent error reporting.
* Fix a bug in the normalization logic for intersections of strings
New Type Solver
* New overload selection logic
* Subtype tests now correctly treat a generic as its upper bound within
that generic's scope
* Semantic subtyping for negation types
* Semantic subtyping between strings and compatible table types like
`{lower: (string) -> string}`
* Further work toward finalizing our new subtype test
* Correctly generalize module-scope symbols
Native Codegen
* Lowering statistics for assembly
* Make executable allocation size/limit configurable without a rebuild.
Use `FInt::LuauCodeGenBlockSize` and `FInt::LuauCodeGenMaxTotalSize`.

* Fixed `Frontend::markDirty` not working on modules that were not
typechecked yet
* Fixed generic variadic function unification succeeding when it should
have reported an error
New Type Solver:
* Implemented semantic subtyping check for function types
Native Code Generation:
* Improved performance of numerical loops with a constant step
* Simplified IR for `bit32.extract` calls extracting first/last bits
* Improved performance of NaN checks
CLI/Reduce.cpp:
Never worked under MinGW as-is. Add check for MinGW as they're defined.
VM/src/lmem.cpp:
MinGW layout follows more closely MSVC. Checks before were only correct
for 32-bit gcc / clang in non-Windows.
NOTES:
__MINGW32__ is defined on both 32-bit and 64-bit, __MINGW64__ is 64-bit
only. 32-bit MinGW compilers (both Clang & GCC) have a floating point
test error on math.noise, specifically math.lua:258. All other test
cases / unit tests pass modulo stack size issues (so requires optimized build).
