# General
This release introduces initial work on a Roundtrippable AST for Luau,
and numerous fixes to the new type solver, runtime, and fragment
autocomplete.
## Roundtrippable AST
To support tooling around source code transformations, we are extending
the parser to retain source information so that we can re-emit the
initial source code exactly as the author wrote it. We have made
numerous changes to the Transpiler, added new AST types such as
`AstTypeGroup`, and added source information to AST nodes such as
`AstExprInterpString`, `AstExprIfElse`, `AstTypeTable`,
`AstTypeReference`, `AstTypeSingletonString`, and `AstTypeTypeof`.
## New Type Solver
* Implement `setmetatable` and `getmetatable` type functions.
* Fix handling of nested and recursive union type functions to prevent
the solver from getting stuck.
* Free types in both old and new solver now have an upper and lower
bound to resolve mixed mode usage of the solvers in fragment
autocomplete.
* Fix infinite recursion during normalization of cyclic tables.
* Add normalization support for intersections of subclasses with negated
superclasses.
## Runtime
* Fix compilation error in Luau buffer bit operations for big-endian
machines.
## Miscellaneous
* Add test and bugfixes to fragment autocomplete.
* Fixed `clang-tidy` warnings in `Simplify.cpp`.

# What's Changed?
- Code refactoring with a new clang-format
- More bug fixes / test case fixes in the new solver
## New Solver
- More precise telemetry collection of `any` types
- Simplification of two completely disjoint tables combines them into a
single table that inherits all properties / indexers
- Refining a `never & <anything>` does not produce type family types nor
constraints
- Silence "inference failed to complete" error when it is the only error
reported

# What's changed?
* Improved the actual message for the type errors for `cannot call
non-function` when attempting to call a union of functions/callable
tables. The error now correctly explains the issue is an inability to
determine the return type of the call in this situation.
* Resolve an issue where tables and metatables were not correctly being
cloned during instantiation (fixes#1176).
* Refactor `luaM_getnextgcopage` to `luaM_getnextpage` (generally
removing `gco` prefix where appropriate).
* Optimize `table.move` between tables for large ranges of elements.
* Reformat a bunch of code automatically using `clang-format`.
### New Type Solver
* Clean up minimally-used or unused constraints in the constraint solver
(`InstantiationConstraint`, `SetOpConstraint`,
`SingletonOrTopTypeConstraint`).
* Add a builtin `singleton` type family to replace
`SingletonOrTopTypeConstraint` when inferring refinements.
* Fixed a crash involving type path reasoning by recording when type
family reduction has taken place in the path.
* Improved constraint ordering by blocking on unreduced types families
that are not yet proven uninhabitable.
* Improved the handling of `SetIndexerConstraints` for both better
inference quality and to resolve crashes.
* Fix a crash when normalizing cyclic unions of intersections.
* Fix a crash when normalizing an intersection with the negation of
`unknown`.
* Fix a number of crashes caused by missing `follow` calls on `TypeId`s.
* Changed type family reduction to correctly use a semantic notion of
uninhabited types, rather than checking for `never` types specifically.
* Refactor the `union` and `intersect` type families to be variadic.
### Native Code Generation
* Improve translation for userdata key get/set and userdata/vector
namecall.
* Provide `[top level]` and `[anonymous]` as function names to
`FunctionStats` as appropriate when no function name is available.
* Disable unwind support on Android platforms since it is unsupported.

# What's changed?
* Support for new 'require by string' RFC with relative paths and
aliases in now enabled in Luau REPL application
### New Type Solver
* Fixed assertion failure on generic table keys (`[expr] = value`)
* Fixed an issue with type substitution traversing into the substituted
parts during type instantiation
* Fixed crash in union simplification when that union contained
uninhabited unions and other types inside
* Union types in binary type families like `add<a | b, c>` are expanded
into `add<a, c> | add<b, c>` to handle
* Added handling for type family solving creating new type families
* Fixed a bug with normalization operation caching types with unsolved
parts
* Tables with uninhabited properties are now simplified to `never`
* Fixed failures found by fuzzer
### Native Code Generation
* Added support for shared code generation between multiple Luau VM
instances
* Fixed issue in load-store propagation and new tagged LOAD_TVALUE
instructions
* Fixed issues with partial register dead store elimination causing
failures in GC assists
