# 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
### Debugger
* Values after a 'continue' statement should not be accessible by
debugger in the 'until' condition
### New Type Solver
* Many fixes to crashes and hangs
* Better bidirectional inference of table literal expressions
### Native Code Generation
* Initial steps toward a shared code allocator

- TableOperations lint now includes a warning for table.create(N, {}) (which is likely a mistake since the table is shared by all entries)
- Type checker now type checks #v when v is a union
- Parser now rejects sources that consists of a single unfinished long comment
- Work around significant MSVC 2022 performance regression, bringing it more or less in line with MSVC 2019
- Compiler now predicts array size for newly allocated tables when the table is filled in a short loop
- Small improvements in compilation throughput (~2% faster)
- Implement paged sweeper for GC which improves sweep throughput 2-3x and reduces memory consumption by 8 bytes per object (once it is stabilized we will see additional 8 bytes per object of savings)
- Improve Repl Tab completion
- Repl now supports -i (interactive mode to run code in context of a script's environment) and -On (to control optimization flags)
