# 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`.

## What's Changed
General performance improvements and bug fixes. `lua_clonetable` was
added too.
### General
## Runtime
- Improvements were made to Luau's performance, including a
`lua_clonetable` function and optimizations to string caching. Buffer
read/write operations were optimized for big-endian machines.
## New Solver
- Crashes related to duplicate keys in table literals, fragment AC
crashes, and potential hash collisions in the StringCache.
- We now handle user-defined type functions as opaque and track interior
free table types.
## Require By String
- Require-by-string path resolution was simplified.

# General
All code has been re-formatted by `clang-format`; this is not
mechanically enforced, so Luau may go out-of-sync over the course of the
year.
# New Solver
* Track free types interior to a block of code on `Scope`, which should
reduce the number of free types that remain un-generalized after type
checking is complete (e.g.: less errors like `'a <: number is
incompatible with number`).
# Autocomplete
* Fragment autocomplete now does *not* provide suggestions within
comments (matching non-fragment autocomplete behavior).
* Autocomplete now respects iteration and recursion limits (some hangs
will now early exit with a "unification too complex error," some crashes
will now become internal complier exceptions).
# Runtime
* Add a limit to how many Luau codegen slot nodes addresses can be in
use at the same time (fixes#1605, fixes#1558).
* Added constant folding for vector arithmetic (fixes#1553).
* Added support for `buffer.readbits` and `buffer.writebits` (see:
https://github.com/luau-lang/rfcs/pull/18).

This change implements math.lerp RFC with C function definition, builtin
function, builtin constant folding and tests.
The tests validate a few lerp properties by providing counter-examples
for popular lerp implementations; the testing is of course not
exhaustive, as exhaustive testing was done offline using fuzzing.
Type definitions will be updated separately.
Codegen support will be implemented separately: it requires new IR for
conditional
selects to represent the desired logic without using a branch.

## New Solver
* Type functions should be able to signal whether or not irreducibility
is due to an error
* Do not generate extra expansion constraint for uninvoked user-defined
type functions
* Print in a user-defined type function reports as an error instead of
logging to stdout
* Many e-graphs bugfixes and performance improvements
* Many general bugfixes and improvements to the new solver as a whole
* Fixed issue with used-defined type functions not being able to call
each other
* Infer types of globals under new type solver
## Fragment Autocomplete
* Miscellaneous fixes to make interop with the old solver better
## Runtime
* Support disabling specific built-in functions from being fast-called
or constant-evaluated (Closes#1538)
* New compiler option `disabledBuiltins` accepts a list of library
function names like "tonumber" or "math.cos"
* Added constant folding for vector arithmetic
* Added constant propagation and type inference for vector globals
(Fixes#1511)
* New compiler option `librariesWithKnownMembers` accepts a list of
libraries for members of which a request for constant value and/or type
will be made
* `libraryMemberTypeCb` callback is called to get the type of a global,
return one of the `LuauBytecodeType` values. 'boolean', 'number',
'string' and 'vector' type are supported.
* `libraryMemberConstantCb` callback is called to setup the constant
value of a global. To set a value, C API `luau_set_compile_constant_*`
or C++ API `setCompileConstant*` functions should be used.

* New `vector` library! See https://rfcs.luau.org/vector-library.html
for details
* Replace the use of non-portable `strnlen` with `memchr`. `strnlen` is
not part of any C or C++ standard.
* Introduce `lua_newuserdatataggedwithmetatable` for faster tagged
userdata creation of userdata with metatables registered with
`lua_setuserdatametatable`
Old Solver
* It used to be the case that a module's result type would
unconditionally be inferred to be `any` if it imported any module that
participates in any import cycle. This is now fixed.
New Solver
* Improve inference of `table.freeze`: We now infer read-only properties
on tables after they have been frozen.
* We now correctly flag cases where `string.format` is called with 0
arguments.
* Fix a bug in user-defined type functions where table properties could
be lost if the table had a metatable
* Reset the random number seed for each evaluation of a type function
* We now retry subtyping arguments if it failed due to hidden variadics.

### What's new
* Light update this week, mostly fast flag cleanups.
### New Solver
* Rename flag to enable new solver from
`DebugLuauDeferredConstraintResolution` to `LuauSolverV2`
* Added support for magic functions for the new type checker (as opposed
to the type inference component)
* Improved handling of `string.format` with magic function improvements
* Cleaning up some of the reported errors by the new type checker
* Minor refactoring of `TypeChecker2.cpp` that happens to make the diff
very hard to read.

of recursive unions of intersections (of unions of intersections...)
* Fix an assertion failure that would trigger when the __iter metamethod
has a bad signature
## Native Codegen
* Type propagation and temporary register type hints
* Direct vector property access should only happen for names of right
length
* BytecodeAnalysis will only predict that some of the vector value
fields are numbers

# Old Solver:
- Fix a bug in the old solver where a user could use the keyword
`typeof` as the name of a type alias.
- Fix stringification of scientific notation to omit a trailing decimal
place when not followed by a digit e.g. `1.e+20` -> `1e+20`
# New Solver
- Continuing work on the New non-strict mode
- Introduce `keyof` and `rawkeyof` type function for acquiring the type
of all keys in a table or class

before rethrowing the exception.
New solver
* Include more source location information when we hit an internal
compiler error
* Improve the logic that simplifies intersections of tables
JIT
* Save testable type annotations to bytecode
* Improve block placement for linearized blocks
* Add support for lea reg, [rip+offset] for labels
* Unify X64 and A64 codegen for RETURN
* Outline interrupt handlers for X64
* Remove global rArgN in favor of build.abi
* Change A64 INTERRUPT lowering to match X64
