The select() optimization ran into some problems and was disabled; a fixed version will ship next week.

Not entirely related to this change, but as seen in the code snippet, does this mean that string literal types (i.e. tag: "Cat") are in the works? I’ve tried enabling the flag associated with this change (FFlagLuauDiscriminableUnions) and Luau doesn’t like the usage of "Cat" as a type.

Thank you

I can finally give my players proper volume control settings without tearing out my hair

Overall, this is looking like an interesting update even though not too many new features coming right away, I am pretty excited to see 513 and 514.

I’m also curious about @PlanarTheorem’s question. Would love to know if type constants are in the works, would make some of my common uses for typing possible in luau.
