1.22.0

[JohnnyMorganz]

[1.22.0] - 2023-06-30

Added

• Support requiring directories with init.luau (or init.lua) files inside of them. i.e. require("../Directory") resolves to ../Directory/init.luau.
• The CLI analyze now accepts a parameter --settings=path/to/settings.json which takes in LSP-style settings to configure features such as require settings. Note: this is separate to .luaurc

Changed

• Significant improvements to memory usage in large workspaces when workspace indexing or diagnostics are enabled
• Sync to upstream Luau 0.582
• Deprioritise file or directory aliases over exact paths in autocomplete, since typically aliases start with a prefix (e.g. @)
• Signature Help is more intelligent about providing information about the best function overload which matches

Fixed

• Fixed language features not working in new untitled files
• Fixed incorrect color conversions in the color picker between RGB/HSV/Hex
• Fixed autoimporting modules not respecting multiline requires
• Fixed documentation for debug and utf8 library
• Fixed synthetic typeof() showing up in signature help for builtin tables (e.g. function typeof(string).byte(...))
• Fixed signature help highlighting for string library
• Fixed rename symbol on a type definition type NAME = ...
• Fixed file and directory aliases not being canonicalised to absolute paths causing "Follow Link" to fail when using relative alias paths
• Don't show directory aliases after the first path segment has been typed
• Fixed rename symbol not working when triggered at the end of a symbol
• Fix indentation of autocomplete end when autocompleting inside of a function call
