v2.2.0

[JohnnyMorganz]

[2.2.0] - 2025-09-14

Added

• Added option block_newline_gaps to determine whether newline gaps at the start / end of blocks should be preserved. Defaults to Never, which is the original behaviour. (#857)
• StyLua can now run in a language server mode. Start StyLua with stylua --lsp and connect with a language client. (#936)

Changed

• Luau: Improved union of tables formatting to hang the union type rather than attempt to hug all the tables together (#958)

Fixed

• Fixed formatting of index containing brackets string in parentheses (#992)
• Fixed goto not being recognised for LuaJIT (#986)
• Fixed semicolon removed after a statement ending with an if-expression leading to ambiguous syntax when the next line begins with parentheses (#1010)
• Luau: Fixed malformed formatting when there is a comment after a type specifier in a local assignment (#995)
• Luau: Fixed long type union formatted onto a single line if there is a comment in between the equals sign and the type union in a type declaration (#1007)
• Fixed StyLua installation via pip / uv for Windows (#1018)
