- 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.
- In C++, a call on a data member of the calling method's class, like `versions_->GetColumnFamilySet()` in facebook/rocksdb's `db_impl_write.cc`, now links to the method of the member's type wherever the class is declared. Before, only the call's own file and the header of the same name were read for the member, and RocksDB declares `DBImpl` in `db_impl.h` while its methods are spread over `db_impl_write.cc`, `db_impl_compaction_flush.cc`, `db_impl_open.cc` and more, so such calls were guessed by the member's name. A member declared below an inline method that uses it, one a base class declares, and, in a gtest `TEST_F` or `TEST_P` body, one of the test's fixture, like RocksDB's `db_`, are found the same way, and a member of a class nested in the caller's class is no longer taken for the caller's own. A call on a member of a standard-library type, like `std::atomic<bool> shutting_down_`, no longer links to a project method that only shares the method's name. 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.
