### What's new
* A bug in exception handling in GCC(11/12/13) on MacOS prevents our
test suite from running.
* Parser now supports leading `|` or `&` when declaring `Union` and
`Intersection` types (#1286)
* We now support parsing of attributes on functions as described in the
[rfc](https://github.com/luau-lang/rfcs/pull/30)
* With this change, expressions such as `local x = @native function(x)
return x+1 end` and `f(@native function(x) return x+1 end)` are now
valid.
* Added support for `@native` attribute - we can now force native
compilation of individual functions if the `@native` attribute is
specified before the `function` keyword (works for lambdas too).
### New Solver
* Many fixes in the new solver for crashes and instability
* Refinements now use simplification and not normalization in a specific
case of two tables
* Assume that compound assignments do not change the type of the
left-side operand
* Fix error that prevented Class Methods from being overloaded
### VM
* Updated description of Garbage Collector invariant

pinned in memory!

* Fix many bugs surrounding constraint dispatch order
### Native Codegen
* Add IR lowering hooks for custom host userdata types

# What's changed?
Add program argument passing to scripts run using the Luau REPL! You can
now pass `--program-args` (or shorthand `-a`) to the REPL which will
treat all remaining arguments as arguments to pass to executed scripts.
These values can be accessed through variadic argument expansion. You
can read these values like so:
```
local args = {...} -- gets you an array of all the arguments
```
For example if we run the following script like `luau test.lua -a test1
test2 test3`:
```
-- test.lua
print(...)
```
you should get the output:
```
test1 test2 test3
```
### Native Code Generation
* Improve A64 lowering for vector operations by using vector
instructions
* Fix lowering issue in IR value location tracking!
- A developer reported a divergence between code run in the VM and
Native Code Generation which we have now fixed
### New Type Solver
* Apply substitution to type families, and emit new constraints to
reduce those further
* More progress on reducing comparison (`lt/le`)type families
* Resolve two major sources of cyclic types in the new solver
### Miscellaneous
* Turned internal compiler errors (ICE's) into warnings and errors

* Fixed an UAF relating to reusing a hash key after a weak table has
undergone some GC.
* Fixed a bounds check on arm64 to allow access to the last byte of a

and `x.foo` does not error.
* Made error-suppression logic in subtyping more accurate.
* Subtyping now knows how to reduce type families.
* Fixed function call overload resolution so that the return type
resolves to the correct overload.

`explainReasonings`.

New Solver
* New algorithm for inferring the types of locals that have no
annotations. This
algorithm is very conservative by default, but is augmented with some
control
flow awareness to handle most common scenarios.
* Fix bugs in type inference of tables
* Improve performance of by switching out standard C++ containers for
`DenseHashMap`
* Infrastructure to support clearer error messages in strict mode
Native Code Generation
* Fix a lowering issue with buffer.writeu8 and 0x80-0xff values: A
constant
argument wasn't truncated to the target type range and that causes an
assertion failure in `build.mov`.
* Store full lightuserdata value in loop iteration protocol lowering
* Add analysis to compute function bytecode distribution
* This includes a class to analyze the bytecode operator distribution
per
function and a CLI tool that produces a JSON report. See the new cmake

# What's changed?
- Record the location of properties for table types (closes#802)
- Implement stricter UTF-8 validations as per the RFC
(https://github.com/luau-lang/rfcs/pull/1)
- Implement `buffer` as a new type in both the old and new solvers.
- Changed errors produced by some `buffer` builtins to be a bit more
generic to avoid platform-dependent error messages.
- Fixed a bug where `Unifier` would copy some persistent types, tripping
some internal assertions.
- Type checking rules on relational operators is now a little bit more
lax.
- Improve dead code elimination for some `if` statements with complex
always-false conditions
## New type solver
- Dataflow analysis now generates phi nodes on exit of branches.
- Dataflow analysis avoids producing a new definition for locals or
properties that are not owned by that loop.
- If a function parameter has been constrained to `never`, report errors
at all uses of that parameter within that function.
- Switch to using the new `Luau::Set` to replace `std::unordered_set` to
alleviate some poor allocation characteristics which was negatively
affecting overall performance.
- Subtyping can now report many failing reasons instead of just the
first one that we happened to find during the test.
- Subtyping now also report reasons for type pack mismatches.
- When visiting `if` statements or expressions, the resulting context
are the common terms in both branches.
## Native codegen
- Implement support for `buffer` builtins to its IR for x64 and A64.
- Optimized `table.insert` by not inserting a table barrier if it is
fastcalled with a constant.

# What's changed?
* Fixed a bug in type cloning by maintaining persistent types.
* We now parse imprecise integer literals to report the imprecision as a
warning to developers.
* Add a compiler flag to specify the name of the statistics output file.
### New type solver
* Renamed `ConstraintGraphBuilder` to `ConstraintGenerator`
* LValues now take into account the type being assigned during
constraint generation.
* Normalization performance has been improved by 33% by replacing the an
internal usage of `std::unordered_set` with `DenseHashMap`.
* Normalization now has a helper to identify types that are equivalent
to `unknown`, which is being used to fix some bugs in subtyping.
* Uses of the old unifier in the new type solver have been eliminated.
* Improved error explanations for subtyping errors in `TypeChecker2`.
### Native code generation
* Expanded some of the statistics recorded during compilation to include
the number of instructions and blocks.

bytecode is translated into native code.
