 - Luau: fixed parentheses incorrectly removed in `(expr :: assertion) < foo` when multilining the expression, leading to a syntax error ([#940](https://github.com/JohnnyMorganz/StyLua/issues/940))
 - Fixed panic when attempting to format a file outside of the current working directory when `--respect-ignores` is enabled ([#969](https://github.com/JohnnyMorganz/StyLua/pull/969))
+- Fixed unnecessary semicolons being introduced at the end of statements when incorrectly determined as ambiguous ([#963](https://github.com/JohnnyMorganz/StyLua/issues/963))
