Today's biggest thread is GDScript getting smarter about catching mistakes before they become runtime bugs. HolonProduction had three related contributions merge or open today. PR 121322 fixes the analyzer to properly handle untyped getter return types. PR 123316 adds an error when code calls "self dot free," since…

Separately, stuartcarnie's PR 123319 shows a real CPU win in glslang shader…
