## What's Changed?
* Optimized the vector dot product by up to 24%
* Allow for x/y/z/X/Y/Z vector field access by registering a `vector` metatable
with an `__index` method
* Fixed a bug preventing consistent recovery from parse errors in table types.
* Optimized `k*n` and `k+n` when types are known
* Allow fragment autocomplete to handle cases like the automatic insertion of
parens, keywords, strings, etc., while maintaining a correct relative positioning
### New Solver
* Added support for 'thread' and 'buffer' primitive types in Luau user-defined
type functions
* Allow for `nil` assignment to tables and classes with indexers

> What's new?
* Fragment Autocomplete: a new API allows for type checking a small
fragment of code against an existing file, significantly speeding up
autocomplete performance in large files.
> New Solver
* E-Graphs have landed: this is an ongoing approach to make the new type solver
simplify types in a more consistent and principled manner, based on
similar work (e.g.: https://egraphs-good.github.io/).
* Adds support for exported / local user type functions.
* Fixes a set of bugs in which the new solver will fail to complete
inference for simple expressions with just literals and operators.
> General
* It is now an explicit runtime error to `require` a path with a ".lua" or
".luau" extension, and the error message will suggest removing the extension.
```
require("path/to/mymodule.lua")
```
* Fixes a bug in which whether two `Symbol`s are equal depends on
whether the new solver is enabled.
* 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 solver
* Initial work toward tracking the upper and lower bounds of types more accurately.
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
