1.38.0

[1.38.0] - 2024-12-28

Added

• Auto-import requires will now show the require path in the details section rather than just "Auto-import". This will
  help to disambiguate between multiple modules with the same name but at different
  paths. (#593)
• Added configuration luau-lsp.inlayHints.hideHintsForErrorTypes (default: false) to configure whether inlay hints
  should be shown for types that resolve to an error type (#711)
• Added configuration luau-lsp.inlayHints.hideHintsForMatchingParameterNames (default: true) to configure whether
  inlay hints are shown where a variable name matches the
  parameter (#779)
• Find all references of a returned function / table in a module will now return all cross-module
  references (#879)
• Go To Definition inside of a require call will now lead to the required file, similar to Document Link. This is useful
  for editors that do not support Document Link (#612)
• The recursive parameter in game:FindFirstChild("ClassName", true) is now supported for DataModel awareness. We
  recursively find the closest descendant based on BFS (#689)
• We now attach a semantic token modifier to usages of self in non-colon function definitions (i.e.
  function T.foo(self, ...)) if self is the first
  argument (#456)

Changed

• The server no longer computes relatedDocuments in a textDocument/diagnostic request unnecessarily if the client
  does not support related documents
• Go To Definition on a cross-module function reference will now only resolve to the function definition, rather than
  also including the require statement
  local func = require(path.to.function) (#878).
• Overhauled the globbing mechanism leading to significant performance improvements in indexing, workspace diagnostics,
  and auto suggest requires, removing globbing as a bottleneck. Some results in example codebases ranging from 190 to
  1900 KLoC:
  • Initial indexing: ~3.32x to ~7.1x speedup (43.60s -> 13.12s and 9.42s ->
    1.33s) (#829)
  • Workspace diagnostics: ~2.39x to ~4.75x speedup (164.93s -> 69.07s and 8.49s ->
    1.79s)
  • Auto-suggest requires: ~4.77x speedup (1.15s ->
    0.24s) (#749)
  • These improvements heavily depend on the amount of code you have matching ignore globs. Workspace diagnostics
    improvements depends on the performance of Luau typechecking.

Fixed

• Fixed isIgnoredFile check failing due to mismatching case of drive letter on Windows (#752)
• Fixed luau-lsp analyze --ignore GLOB not ignoring files matching the glob if the files are within one of the
  provided directories (#788)
• Fixed production VSCode extension failing to find server binary when debugging another VSCode extension (#644)
• The Studio Plugin settings configuration is now stored in TestService instead of AnalyticsService to allow it to persist across sessions (#738)
• The Studio Plugin now correctly sends updates to the language server when an instance changes name or ancestry hierarchy (#636)
• Fixed Studio Plugin leaking Instance connections after disconnecting from server

Full Changelog: 1.37.0...1.38.0

1.37.0

[1.37.0] - 2024-12-14

Added

• The VSCode extension now registers a JSON schema for .luaurc files, providing simple diagnostics and intellisense (#850)

Changed

• Sync to upstream Luau 0.655

Fixed

• Fixed luau-lsp analyze --settings=... crashing when a malformed settings JSON file is provided. Now, it will print the json error and continue assuming the settings did not exist
• Fixed regression in require by string autocompletion failing to correctly autocomplete files under directories (#851)
• Autocompletion in string requires will now show aliases in their original case defined in .luaurc, rather than all lowercased

1.36.0

[1.36.0] - 2024-11-30

Deprecated

• luau-lsp.require.fileAliases and luau-lsp.require.directoryAliases are now deprecated in favour of aliases in .luaurc files. These settings will be removed in a future version.

Added

• Added a setting to enable the new solver without having to tinker with FFlags: luau-lsp.fflags.enableNewSolver.
• Support parsing and resolving aliases coming from .luaurc files in module resolution and autocomplete
• Added two configuration options luau-lsp.diagnostics.pullOnChange and luau-lsp.diagnostics.pullOnSave to configure when document diagnostics updates for a file (default: true)

Changed

• workspace/diagnostic call is ~98% faster when luau-lsp.diagnostics.workspace is disabled on large projects (#826)
• Sync to upstream Luau 0.653

1.35.0

[1.35.0] - 2024-11-10

Removed

• Removed luau-lsp.require.mode in preparation for Luau's new require by string semantics. The default is now relative to the file the require is from.

Added

• Added bracket pairs colorization for <> for generic types
• Added configuration option luau-lsp.sourcemap.sourcemapFile to specify a different name to use for the sourcemap
• A function call on a table with a __call metamethod will now show Signature Help and documentation (#724)
• We now warn about non-alphanumeric FFlag names, and trim any leading/trailing whitespace in FFlag configuration on the VSCode extension (#648)

Changed

• Sync to upstream Luau 0.650

Fixed

• Fixed autocompletion, type registration, hover types/documentation, and some crashes for cases where the new solver is enabled
• Fixed the refinement for typeof(inst) == "Instance" since Object became the root class type (#814)
• Fixed inlay hints incorrectly showing for first parameter in static function when the function is called as a method (with :) (#766)
• Fixed bracket pair completion breaking inside of generic type parameter list (#741)
• Don't show aliases after a directory separator is seen in require string autocompletion (#748)
• Fixed crashing of overload resolution in signature help when new solver is enabled (#823)
