@@ -9,7 +9,10 @@ and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0
 - Flattened `Expression::Value` to all be variants of `Expression` directly, as this was not used anywhere else. The extra `type_assertion` field has been moved into a new variant `Expression::TypeAssertion`. None of these variants are boxed.
 - The following fields/variants have been changed from `Expression` to `Box<Expression>`: `Prefix::Expression`, `Var::Expression`, `IfExpression::condition`, `IfExpression::if_expression`, `IfExpression::else_expression`.
 - When using serde, `Expression` will no longer act untagged.

+### Fixed
 - Fixed parsing of string interpolation double brace for Luau code
+- Fixed failure to parse `\z` escapes in strings in Luau mode
