### What's Changed
- Improve readability of unions and intersections by limiting the number
of elements of those types that can be presented on a single line (gated
under `FFlag::LuauToStringSimpleCompositeTypesSingleLine`)
- Adds a new option to the compiler `--record-stats` to record and
output compilation statistics
- `if...then...else` expressions are now optimized into `AND/OR` form
when possible.
### VM
- Add a new `buffer` type to Luau based on the [buffer
RFC](https://github.com/Roblox/luau/pull/739) and additional C API
functions to work with it; this release does not include the library.
- Internal C API to work with string buffers has been updated to align
with Lua version more closely
### Native Codegen
- Added support for new X64 instruction (rev) and new A64 instruction
(bswap) in the assembler
- Simplified the way numerical loop condition is translated to IR
### New Type Solver
- Operator inference now handled by type families
- Created a new system called `Type Paths` to explain why subtyping
tests fail in order to improve the quality of error messages.
- Systematic changes to implement Data Flow analysis in the new solver
(`Breadcrumb` removed and replaced with `RefinementKey`)
