Full Changelog: 1.60.0...1.60.1

1.60.0

[1.60.0] - 2026-01-04

Added

• luau-lsp analyze will now respect luau-lsp.fflags.enableNewSolver if enabled in the provided --settings file (#1321)
• Added luau-lsp.completion.showAnonymousAutofilledFunction setting (enabled by default) to control whether the "function (anonymous autofilled)" completion item is shown when autocompleting callback arguments
• Added luau-lsp.completion.showDeprecatedItems setting (enabled by default) to control whether deprecated items are shown in autocomplete suggestions
• Added language server support for the upcoming Studio Script Sync release, via the Studio Plugin. (#1295)
  • When the Studio Plugin is enabled alongside Studio Script Sync, it will also populate file path information for synced instances, enabling require functionality.
  • The synced tree with file path information will be written to the sourcemap.json file, giving access for external tools.
  • External editors will need to implement the GET /get-file-paths endpoint for the local HTTP server to support Studio Script Sync

Changed

• VSCode: the extension will now automatically activate when your opened folder contains any .luau files, not just when you explicitly open a Luau file. This allows the Studio Plugin to start up and connect quicker (#1278)
• Entries marked as deprecated will now be sorted to the bottom of the autocomplete items list (#1318)

Fixed

• VSCode: fixed cursor being positioned outside of the string after performing automatic quote conversion to backticks (#1317)

External Contributions

• Activate VSC extension if the opened workspace contains Luau by @zovits in #1278
• Script Sync sourcemap support by @zovits in #1295

Full Changelog: 1.59.0...1.60.0

1.59.0

[1.59.0] - 2025-12-28

Added

• Added command Luau: Compute CodeGen instructions for file to emit annotated codegen instructions, similar to the bytecode command. External editors can implement this by using the luau-lsp/codeGen request. (#617)
• Added support for requiring YAML files (.yaml and .yml) as Luau data modules, similar to existing JSON and TOML support (#1267)
• Implemented quick fix code actions for common diagnostics (#439):
  • GlobalUsedAsLocal: Add local keyword to fix accidental global variable
  • LocalUnused, FunctionUnused, ImportUnused: Prefix with _ to silence, or remove the unused declaration
  • UnreachableCode: Remove unreachable code after early return/error
  • RedundantNativeAttribute: Remove redundant @native attribute
  • Unknown symbol errors now have a quick fix to auto-import missing modules (both string requires and Roblox instance-based requires) and services
  • Misspelled property names (case mismatches) now have a quick fix to rename to the correct property
  • Added source file actions "Remove all unused code" and "Add all missing requires" to perform bulk quick fixes at once
• Added support for automatic quote conversion to backticks when typing { inside strings. This can be enabled with the luau-lsp.format.convertQuotes configuration option. You may need to enable on-type formatting in your editor (e.g., format.onType in VSCode) (#1298)

Changed

• Aliases defined in a root-level .luaurc / .config.luau will now be indexed at startup. As such, external alias files will now show up as part of string-require auto-imports if the file has not previously been required (#1043)
• Find All References and Rename now correctly track property references through metatable __index chains, enabling proper support for Luau class patterns using setmetatable inheritance (#961)
• VSCode: expanding a single line block (e.g., function foo() end, adding a newline to start writing the block) will now move the cursor to the correct indentation (#220)

Fixed

• Fixed non-adjacent comments (such as section headers separated by blank lines) being incorrectly included in hover documentation (#310)
• Function entries correctly show as deprecated in autocomplete if they are marked with @deprecated attribute (#1302)
• Fixed sourcemapFile configuration not supporting relative paths from the workspace root (e.g., subdir/sourcemap.json) (#1288)
• Fixed auto-imports not showing up when autocompleting in array-like tables (i.e., before the = sign has been written for a property) (#1062)
• Fixed improper and missing escaping when converting JSON files to Luau data modules. Object keys and string values containing special characters (quotes, newlines, etc.) are now properly escaped (#426)
• Fixed Find All References not including properties accessed via bracket notation (e.g., obj["property"]) (#1084)
• Fixed Rename not supporting properties accessed via bracket notation. Renaming now correctly updates both dot notation (obj.property) and bracket notation (obj["property"]) references (#1084)
• Fixed definitions or documentation files not loading when the path to the file contains non-ASCII characters (#1191)
• Ignored files that are changed externally are correctly marked as dirty internally to ensure the next typecheck will use updated source contents (#1144)
• Fixed documentation not being shown when hovering over shared properties of unioned table types. Go to Definition now also returns multiple locations when the property is defined in different union members (#1018)

• Studio Plugin: fixed some issues with untracking where connections are not cleaned up (#1280)
• Fixed incorrect old solver mode configured for the null workspace (default workspace when a Luau file is not part of an opened folder) when FFlag::LuauUseWorkspacePropToChooseSolver and new solver is enabled. This would lead to features such as autocompletion not working. (#1292)

When an external link is used, the VSCode extension will download the types from the server. Types are cached for 1 day. You can force a redownload by running Luau: Redownload API Types command (#970)
• In VSCode, added luau-lsp.server.baseLuaurc to configure a path to the baseline .luaurc file to load across all workspaces. External editors can already access this by using the --base-luaurc command line flag. (#1262)

Changed

1.56.0

[1.56.0] - 2025-11-02

Added

• The server now accepts DataModel information from the Studio Plugin even when there is no sourcemap present (#1216)
• Added luau-lsp.completion.imports.includedServices and luau-lsp.completion.imports.excludedServices to configure what services show up during auto-importing. If non-empty, only the services listed in includedServices will show up. None of the services listed in excludedServices will ever show up.
• Added support for inline documentation comments in global type definition files (relies on name being provided in settings, see below) (#271)
• Support processing .config.luau file as per Luau-syntax configuration files RFC

Changed

• Sync to upstream Luau 0.698
• Auto-imports are now enabled by default. Configure luau-lsp.completion.imports.enabled if you wish to disable it (#619)
• Definitions files must now provide a name for the file in settings and command line: i.e.
  --definitions:@roblox=path/to/globalTypes.d.luau. This is to support mapping global types back to their original
  definitions file for documentation features. Please update your LSP settings (luau-lsp.types.definitionFiles) and command line arguments.
  Backwards compatibility has been temporarily preserved, with random names generated.
