## What's new
This update brings improvements to the new type solver, roundtrippable
AST parsing mode and closes multiple issues reported in this repository.
* `require` dependency tracing for non-string requires now supports `()`
groups in expressions and types as well as an ability to type annotate a
value with a `typeof` of a different module path
* Fixed rare misaligned memory access in Compiler/Typechecker on 32 bit
platforms (Closes#1572)
## New Solver
* Fixed crash/UB in subtyping of type packs (Closes#1449)
* Fixed incorrect type errors when calling `debug.info` (Closes#1534
and Resolves#966)
* Fixed incorrect boolean and string equality comparison result in
user-defined type functions (Closes#1623)
* Fixed incorrect class types being produced in user-defined type
functions when multiple classes share the same name (Closes#1639)
* Improved bidirectional typechecking for table literals containing
elements that have not been solved yet (Closes#1641)
## Roundtrippable AST
* Added source information for `AstStatTypeAlias`
* Fixed an issue with `AstTypeGroup` node (added in #1643) producing
invalid AST json. Contained type is now named 'inner' instead of 'type'
* Fixed end location of the `do ... end` statement

# General
- Additional logging enabled for fragment autocomplete.
## Roundtrippable AST
- Add a new `AstNode`, `AstGenericType`
- Retain source information for `AstExprTypeAssertion`
## New Type Solver
- New non-strict mode will report unknown symbol errors, e.g
```
foo = 5
local wrong1 = foob <- issue warning
```
- Fixed a bug where new non-strict mode failed to visit large parts of
the program.
- We now infer the types of unnanotated local variables in statements
with multiple assignments, e.g. `local x: "a", y, z = "a", f()`
- Fixed bugs in constraint dispatch ordering.
- Fixed a bug that caused an infinite loop between `Subtyping`,
`OverloadResolution`, and `Type Function Reduction`, by preventing calls
to `Type Function Reduction` being re-entrant.
- Fixed a crash in bidirectional type inference caused by asserting read
and write properties on a type that was readonly.
## Runtime
- Fix a stack overflow caused by `luaL_checkstack` consuming stack space
even if the function fails to reserve memory.
- Using '%c' with a 0 value in Luau string.format will append a '\0'.
Resolves https://github.com/luau-lang/luau/issues/1650
## Miscellaneous
- Miscellaneous small bugfixes for the new solver.

# 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`.
