New checks
^^^^^^^^^^

- New :doc:`performance-expensive-value-or

  Finds calls to ``value_or`` (and alternative spellings ``valueOr``,
  ``ValueOr``) on optional types where the return type is expensive to copy.

New check aliases
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Changes in existing checks
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

- Improved :doc:`misc-redundant-expression
  <clang-tidy/checks/misc/redundant-expression>` by fixing false positives in
  nested expressions involving different macros or a mix of macro and
  non-macro operands.

- Improved :doc:`readability-named-parameter
  <clang-tidy/checks/readability/named-parameter>` check by ignoring
  standard tag types (e.g. ``std::in_place_t``, ``std::allocator_arg_t``,
  ``std::nothrow_t``, iterator tags, lock tags, etc.) that are used
  exclusively for overload resolution. Added the :option:`IgnoredTypes`
  option to allow customizing the set of ignored types.
