# General
* Internally rename `ClassType` to `ExternType`. In definition files,
the syntax to define these types has changed to `declare extern type Foo
with prop: type end`
* Add `luarequire_registermodule` to Luau.Require
* Support yieldable Luau C functions calling other functions
* Store return types as `AstTypePack*` on Ast nodes
## New Solver
* Improve the logic that determines constraint dispatch ordering
* Fix a crash in the type solver that arose when using multi-return
functions with `string.format`
* Fix https://github.com/luau-lang/luau/issues/1736
* Initial steps toward rethinking function generalization:
* Instead of generalizing every type in a function all at once, we will
instead generalize individual type variables once their bounds have been
fully resolved. This will make it possible to properly interleave type
function reduction and generalization.
* Magic functions are no longer considered magical in cases where they
are not explicitly called by the code.
* The most prominent example of this is in `for..in` loops where the
function call is part of the desugaring process.
* Almost all magic functions work by directly inspecting the AST, so
they can't work without an AST fragment anyway.
* Further, none of the magic functions we have are usefully used in this
way.

# What's Changed?
- Code refactoring with a new clang-format
- More bug fixes / test case fixes in the new solver
## New Solver
- More precise telemetry collection of `any` types
- Simplification of two completely disjoint tables combines them into a
single table that inherits all properties / indexers
- Refining a `never & <anything>` does not produce type family types nor
constraints
- Silence "inference failed to complete" error when it is the only error
reported

* Fix#817
* Fix#850
* Optimize math.floor/ceil/round with SSE4.1
* Results in a ~7-9% speedup on the math-cordic benchmark.
* Optimized table.sort.
* table.sort is now ~4.1x faster (when not using a predicate) and ~2.1x
faster when using a simple predicate. Performance may improve further in
the future.
* Reorganize the memory ownership of builtin type definitions.
* This is a small initial step toward affording parallel typechecking.
The new type solver is coming along nicely. We are working on fixing
crashes and bugs.
A few major changes to native codegen landed this week:
* Fixed lowering of Luau IR mod instruction when first argument is a
constant
* Added VM register data-flow/capture analysis
* Fixed issues with optimizations in unreachable blocks

* Fixed unions of `nil` types displaying as `?`
* Internal normalization now handles class types which can make
previously failing (incorrectly) sub-typing checks to succeed
