0.737

This week we have a release with important fixes to the compiler as well as a bunch of typechecking improvements and a new experimental feature for Luau enthusiasts to try out.

Analysis

• Fixed type arguments not being typechecked in explicit instantiation (Fixes #2491)
• Table indexers no longer allow their generics to leak into unsealed tables passed as arguments.
• Fixed two source of frequent internal errors, including one related to the recursion limit during type generalization
• Require cycle length limit has been removed
• keyof now produces unions in lexicographic order, making them consistent across platforms
• Fix luaL_typename typo in UDTF error reporting by @PhoenixWhitefire in #2675

Runtime

• Fixed handling of upvalues in repeat..until loops with continue
• Fixed a rare issue where large jump distances were not rejected
• Removed generation of unreachable upvalue close instructions in statement blocks
• Fixed an issue with lua_weakref/lua_weakunref API where new entries could occupy previous collected slots

Bytecode JiT inliner

• Improved removal of dead code blocks
• Fixed handling of userdata namecall instruction
• Improved validation of the produced bytecode

Classes (experimental)

Ongoing work on Classes RFC prototype:

• Constructors are now integrated into the type system
• Fixed __eq metamethod check by @protousr in #2727

(required flags: DebugLuauUserDefinedClasses=true,DebugLuauUserDefinedClassesRuntime=true)

If local (experimental)

Work has started on the if local prototype:

• if local statements have been implemented

(required flags: DebugLuauIfLocalSyntax=true,DebugLuauIfLocalAnalysis=true)

Other Changes

• Add .editorconfig by @nnullcolumn in #2722

New Contributors

• @protousr made their first contribution in #2727
• @nnullcolumn made their first contribution in #2722
