✨ New & Improved

Area	What’s new
Type Checking	- Recursive type aliases now supported, so you can define type aliases that reference themselves, and Pyrefly will correctly resolve and type-check them - Error is now raised when Self is used in certain invalid locations (outside a class, in a static method within a class, in a metaclass) - Pyrefly now supports the idiom class Foo(namedtuple("Bar", ...)), matching CPython and Mypy behavior - Pyrefly will now warn you if a protocol’s type variable is used in a way that doesn’t match its declared variance
Language Server	- Completion suggestions are now ranked based on most recently used (MRU) items - Auto-import completions and unknown-name quick fixes now honor common aliases (e.g. import numpy as np) - Improved error messages for signature mismatches, including ASCII-style diffs and normalized function names for clarity
Config	- JSON schemas added for pyrefly.toml and pyproject.toml to enable editor features like auto-completion and validation
Performance	- Pyrefly uses ~26% less CPU when tested typechecking the whole Pytorch codebase on M1 Pro MacBook with 10 cores

📦 Upgrade

pip install --upgrade pyrefly==0.53.0

How to safely upgrade your codebase

Upgrading the version of Pyrefly you're using or a third-party library you depend on can reveal new type errors in your code. Fixing them all at once is often unrealistic. We've written scripts to help you temporarily silence them. After upgrading, follow these steps:

1. pyrefly check --suppress-errors
2. run your code formatter of choice
3. pyrefly check --remove-unused-ignores
4. Repeat until you achieve a clean formatting run and a clean type check.
