1.16.0

[JohnnyMorganz]

[1.16.0] - 2023-01-29

Added

• Support documentation comments attached to a table and table types, e.g. on DATA in the following:

--- Doc comment
local DATA = {
    ...
}

--- Doc comment
type Contents = {
	...
}

• Include documentation comments on functions and tables in autocompletion
• Added configuration option luau-lsp.require.mode to configure how string requires are resolved. It can either be relativeToWorkspaceRoot (default) or relativeToFile
• Added luau-lsp.types.documentationFiles to support adding extra documentation symbols to the database. These are used to support definition files, and should be in the same format as shown here
• Added luau-lsp.diagnostics.strictDatamodelTypes (default: false) which configures whether we use expressive DataModel types to power diagnostics.
  When off, game / script / workspace (and all their members) are typed as any, which helps to prevent false positives, but may lead to false negatives.
• Added CLI option --base-luaurc=PATH for both LSP and Analyze mode to provide a path to a .luaurc file which is used as the default configuration
• Added support for Go To Definition / Type Definition on imported type references module.Type (gated behind FFlag SupportTypeAliasGoToDeclaration)

Changed

• Sync to upstream Luau 0.560
• Class symbols with no documentation present in the docs file will no longer show anything on hover/autocomplete (i.e. won't show @luau/global/require)
• Instance.new() now accepts variables which are of type string without erroring. It will instead error when Instance.new is called with a string literal which is an unknown class name
• In the CLI, luau-lsp lsp now supports passing multiple --docs= parameters
• The CLI will now error when an unknown option is passed to it
• Diagnostics will now be emitted on .luaurc files with parse errors

Fixed

• Fixed unknown require errors occurring in multi-root workspaces when in a folder which isn't the first one
• Fixed diagnostics not clearing for files which were deleted unconventionally (i.e., outside of VSCode using File Explorer, or external commands such as git stash)
