1.27.0

[1.27.0] - 2023-12-25

Important Note

Heads up! In VSCode, this release changes the registered language ID from lua to luau. If you have any configuration based on the old language ID (e.g. themes / file icons / semantic highlighting overrides / language-specific settings overrides), you may need to update them.

Added

• Marking an item as @deprecated via documentation comments will now reflect its deprecated status in autocomplete (currently no diagnostics support)

• Show string literal byte length and utf8 characters on hover

• Added support for viewing textual bytecode and compiler remarks using commands Luau: Compute Bytecode for file and Luau: Compute Compiler Remarks for file.
  This opens up a new view with bytecode/remarks inlined as comments in the source file
  • Added configuration luau-lsp.bytecode.vectorLib, luau-lsp.bytecode.vectorCtor and luau-lsp.bytecode.vectorType to configure compiler options when generating bytecode
  • Custom editors should handle the luau-lsp/bytecode and luau-lsp/compilerRemarks LSP message to integrate compiler remarks info in their editor

• Added luau-lsp.types.robloxSecurityLevel to select what security level to use for the API types, out of: None, LocalUserSecurity, PluginSecurity and RobloxScriptSecurity
• Support passing --settings to luau-lsp lsp configuring the default global settings to use

Changed

• Sync to upstream Luau 0.607
• Made rename operation fully backed by find all references, to ensure both return results that are consistent with each other
• Hide return type hints for no-op functions
• Changed the VSCode registered language and grammar ID from lua to luau. NOTE: this may affect existing custom themes!
• Renamed script/globalTypes.d.lua to script/globalTypes.d.luau (the old file will be kept temporarily for compatibility)
  • Please update your references to the file in custom scripts
• Default security level of API types changed from RobloxScriptSecurity to PluginSecurity - set luau-lsp.types.robloxSecurityLevel to RobloxScriptSecurity to see original behaviour
• Improved warning message when Rojo not found when attempting to generate sourcemap, with option to configure settings to disable autogeneration

Fixed

• Fixed Find All References / Rename not working on a table property defined inline, such as name in:

local T = {
  name = "string"
}

• Fixed methods and events showing up in "GetPropertyChangedSignal" autocomplete
• Fixed requiring a directory containing "init.lua" not working
• Fixed go to definition on a property of a table that stores a cross-module type value (e.g. the result of a function defined in another module)
