- Updated Roblox copyright to 2023
- Floor division operator `//` (implements #832)
- Autocomplete now shows `end` within `do` blocks
- Restore BraceType when using `Lexer::lookahead` (fixes#1019)
# New typechecker
- Subtyping tests between metatables and tables
- Subtyping tests between string singletons and tables
- Subtyping tests for class types
# Native codegen
- Fixed macOS test failure (wrong spill restore offset)
- Fixed clobbering of non-volatile xmm registers on Windows
- Fixed wrong storage location of SSA reg spills
- Implemented A64 support for add/sub extended
- Eliminated zextReg from A64 lowering
- Remove identical table slot lookups
- Propagate values from predecessor into the linear block
- Disabled reuse slot optimization
- Keep `LuaNode::val` check for nil when optimizing `CHECK_SLOT_MATCH`
- Implemented IR translation of `table.insert` builtin
- Fixed mmap error handling on macOS/Linux
# Tooling
- Used `|` as a column separator instead of `+` in `bench.py`
- Added a `table.sort` micro-benchmark
- Switched `libprotobuf-mutator` to a less problematic version
* Progress toward a diffing algorithm for types. We hope that this will
be useful for writing clearer error messages.
* Add a missing recursion limiter in `Unifier::tryUnifyTables`. This was
causing a crash in certain situations.
* Luau heap graph enumeration improvements:
* Weak references are not reported
* Added tag as a fallback name of non-string table links
* Included top Luau function information in thread name to understand
where thread might be suspended
* Constant folding for `math.pi` and `math.huge` at -O2
* Optimize `string.format` and `%*`
* This change makes string interpolation 1.5x-2x faster depending on the
number and type of formatted components, assuming a few are using
primitive types, and reduces associated GC pressure.
New type checker:
* Initial work toward tracking the upper and lower bounds of types
accurately.
Native code generation (JIT):
* Add IrCmd::CHECK_TRUTHY for improved assert fast-calls
* Do not compute type map for modules without types
* Capture metatable+readonly state for NEW_TABLE IR instructions
* Replace JUMP_CMP_ANY with CMP_ANY and existing JUMP_EQ_INT
* Add support for exits to VM with reentry lock in VmExit

Implements the string interpolation RFC (#165).
Adds the string interpolation as per the RFC.
```lua
local name = "world"
print(`Hello {name}!`) -- Hello world!
```
