- In C++, a call on the variable of a range-based `for` loop over `auto` elements, like `cfd->Ref()` inside facebook/rocksdb's `for (auto cfd : cfds)`, now links to the method of the type the loop goes over. That type is read from what the loop iterates: a `std::vector`, `std::set`, `absl::Span` or similar container, protocolbuffers/protobuf's `RepeatedPtrField` or RocksDB's `autovector`, whether a variable, parameter or member holds it, an `auto` variable is set to it or a function or method returns it, and a project class you loop over through its `begin()`, like RocksDB's `ColumnFamilySet`. Before, the call was matched by the variable's name, or by an earlier variable of that name: in RocksDB, `blob_file.GetBlobFileNumber()` over a list of `BlobFileGarbage` reached `BlobFileAddition::GetBlobFileNumber`, and in protobuf's Objective-C generator, calls over a list of `std::unique_ptr<MessageGenerator>` reached other generators' methods. A call on an element of a standard-library type, like `file.find(…)` over a `std::vector<std::string>`, no longer links to a project method, and `->` on an element held in a `std::unique_ptr` or `std::shared_ptr` reaches the type it holds.

- In C++, a call on a variable, parameter or member declared as one of your classes, like `iter->Valid()` on an `Iterator* iter` or `it.Valid()` on a `const Iterator& it`, now links to that method of the class C++ itself would find for the type where the call is written, or of a class it inherits from. Before, the method was picked by the type's last name, so a class of the same name nested elsewhere could win: in facebook/rocksdb, calls on an `Iterator` reached `MemTableRep::Iterator`, which declares `Valid` and `Next` itself while the `Iterator` the code means inherits them, google/leveldb's reached `SkipList::Iterator`, and in protocolbuffers/protobuf the Java generator's `context->options()` reached the hpb generator's `Context` and `text_parser.Parse(…)` on a `TextFormat::Parser` reached the `.proto` parser. When that class and the classes it derives from have no method of that name, the call no longer links to an unrelated class's method that shares it, as protobuf's `field->full_name()` on a `FieldDescriptor*` did. A type is also found through a `using` declaration the file writes, like protobuf's `using google::protobuf::Descriptor;`, before a class of the same name declared at global scope elsewhere in the repository; this also applies to base classes and to the type a smart pointer holds.

- In C++, text inside a string literal is no longer taken for a variable's declaration. That covers the C code protocolbuffers/protobuf's upb generator writes in a raw string (`R"cc( … upb_MiniTableField field = $field_init$; … )cc"`) and log messages like facebook/rocksdb's `"… in WriteBatch handler; …"`. Before, a later call like `field.ctype()` on the function's own `upb::FieldDefPtr field` parameter, or `handler->PutCF(…)` on a `WriteBatch::Handler* handler`, was matched against the type that text seemed to name, so it linked to nothing or to another class's method. Re-index C++ projects after upgrading.
- In C++, a call on an `auto` variable now links to the method of the class C++ finds for the type its initializer gives it, as a call on a variable declared with that type does. The type is read from a cast or smart pointer written out, like facebook/rocksdb's `auto iter = std::unique_ptr<Iterator>(…)` or `auto* mutex = static_cast<InstrumentedMutex*>(arg)`, from `new` or `std::make_unique` of a class, and from what a function or method is declared to return, like the `Iterator*` of `txn->GetIterator(…)`, read to the end of an initializer that goes on to the next line. Before, such a variable took the type of an earlier variable of the same name, or none: in RocksDB, `iter->SeekToFirst()` reached `MemTableRep::Iterator` and `mutex->Lock()` reached `port::Mutex`. A chained call like `cfd->current()->storage_info()` now looks up the class the inner call is declared to return the same way, through a smart pointer too, so protocolbuffers/protobuf's Java generator no longer reaches the C# generator's `EnumGenerator`. A type from outside the project no longer links to a class of the project that shares its name: protobuf's `status.ok()` on an `absl::Status` reached `upb::Status::ok`, and fmtlib/fmt's `os.flush()` on a `std::ostream&` reached fmt's own `ostream::flush`. Re-index C++ projects after upgrading.
- Framework support now switches on when an app's `package.json` sits three or more folders deep, as with an ASP.NET solution's Angular or React app in `src/Web/ClientApp/`, or a React app in a workspace folder like `web/ui/mantine-ui/`. Before, only the project root and the first two folder levels were read, so frameworks such as Angular, React Router, Vue Router, SvelteKit and TanStack Router could go undetected there: an Angular app's routes, its `routerLink` and `router.navigate(…)` navigation and its template's event bindings were missing, so a handler used only from a `(click)` binding had no callers, and a React app's `navigate('/login')` calls didn't reach their route. Re-index projects laid out this way after upgrading.
- In a repository that mixes languages, a web framework's naming conventions now link only code written in that framework's own languages. Before, Express's also linked Go and Python code: in etcd a Go method's `*zap.Logger` result type linked to the method itself, and in Harbor a Python `self.jaeger.validate()` call linked to another class's `validate`. Links that cross languages on purpose, like React Native and Expo native modules, Swift and Objective-C, Drupal's `routing.yml`, SvelteKit's `$lib/…` imports in `.ts` files and a Razor page's `@model`, are unchanged.
- In C and C++, a call written from the global scope, like `::leveldb::RepairDB(…)` or `::hpb::CreateMessage(…)`, now links to the function of exactly that name, and one through a namespace alias, like protobuf's `::_pbi::…` calls, to the function in the aliased namespace. Before, these calls were dropped unless the repository also held Swift and Objective-C files, and even then a name spelled out in full, like `::google::protobuf::internal::TSanWrite(…)`, linked to nothing, while `::operator delete(…)` linked to one class's own `operator delete`. A global call never links to a function or method of the same name inside a namespace or class, such as a wrapper `open()` that calls the C library's `::open(…)`, and `::std::…` and `::testing::…` calls stay unlinked unless that library's source is part of your project.
