Added search functionality to File > Publish to Roblox As…

Add additional information (the full instance path) to the instance indexing error message, for example:
MyModule is not a valid member of Folder
Becomes:
MyModule is not a valid member of Folder "ReplicatedStorage.MyLibrary"

IK Move and Rotate behavior of the draggers has been slightly adjusted. Now parts will attempt to return to their original orientation (with the Move tool) / position (with the Rotate tool) when their movement is unconstrained.

Created Script Editor Colors presets.

The Lua Draggers now cause the Explorer pane to correctly jump to the most recently selected object when multi-selecting. In addition, the Explore pane will now jump to the item you clicked on when normal clicking objects in the selection.

The Ctrl/Shift + Scale behavior the Scale dragger used to have has been restored by popular demand.

Fixed LightGrid shadow for large meshes.

Added a CFrame constructor: CFrame.lookAt(at, target [, up]), which replaces CFrame.new(at, target) and extends it with an optional parameter letting you specify the up direction.

Removed orbital cam debug print statements.

Rewrote the PlayerScript camera input layer.

For devs using the legacy CSG system, the release will force them switching to the new CSG system one-time and notify them the change using an informational bar. However, they can still revert to the old system.

Fixed issue where game might not resume after single stepping the debugger.

Plugins will now get an accurate mouse position for the first click when the user clicks in the 3d view to focus the previously defocused Roblox Studio window.

Fixed an issue with the terrain smooth tool attempting to set materials to nil.

Fixed a potential regression in NavigationService when small movement from simulation could cause obstacles to block/unblock a path without properly invalidating the path.

Fixed a rare crash on some models when setting CollisionFidelity to PreciseConvexDecomposition.

Forced streaming minimum radius to be always at least 64 studs. Streaming target radius cannot be less than minimum radius.

Luau beta: Smarter warning to catch cases where foo.bar() was written, but foo:bar() may have been required.

Luau beta should now be much smarter about typechecking overloaded operators.

Fixed a problem with the physics simulation radius that occurred in low memory situations with small minimum radius values (<196).

str:foo() calls are now 10% faster for strings (although for maximum performance we still recommend string.foo(str)); additionally, string.sub is now noticeably faster to execute for short substrings.

Luau type checking should be smarter about when it thinks that you have written a.b() rather than a:b() or vice versa.

(Luau Beta) In nonstrict mode, it will warn when too many arguments are passed to a function.

Added Humanoid/RequiresNeck. If disabled the Humanoid will not die when its Neck joint is removed. This should make temporary ragdoll states easier.

Changed the way Humanoid state replicates from the network owner of the Humanoid. Currently uses physics replication, will use property replication. This may change the timing of state change events for remotely owned Humanoids.

More strict wav file parsing rejecting files with invalid chunks.

Added icons in tabs for Server, Module, and Local scripts to make it easier to differentiate between them.

Added tooltips with asset titles to overwrite asset view.

Added a preview region to terrain generate and import tools.

Tilting / Rotating a part with the Lua Draggers Beta should always tilt / rotate on the correct axis even when Use Local Space is turned off.

The Lua Draggers Beta now updates the insert point (where pasted / inserted objects are placed) when selecting objects, this restores the behavior the legacy draggers had.

Dragger tool icons now change to reflect the dragger mode context.

Fixed bug to show group names correctly in Toolbox (not as user names with the same ID).

Fixed a bug where standing on something and then attaching it to yourself with a rope could cause a server crash.

TeleportService/TeleportToPlaceInstance now has validation to check for an empty instanceId when the function is invoked.

Added gui/FontData, gui/FreeType, gui/HarfBuzz, and gui/TextLayout memory categories to the Dev console.

The permission settings page for group games now includes individual permissions. (These cannot be added now, but may have been added in the past via script or plugin.)

Added Scrolling UI to game selection in the Publish to Roblox As… menu.

Added success screen when successfully choosing a place to overwrite in Publish Place As… > Update Existing Game…

Added ability to access Game Settings directly from the File Menu. Minor adjustments to order of items in the File Menu.

Added Scrolling UI to updating and publishing places in Publish to Roblox As…

Added math.round to standard math library which rounds the number to nearest integer.

Changed animation import window to have a direct import id text box rather than a filter. Export window will still use the filter for now.

The Lua Draggers Beta should now work reliably when you use the ribbon bar in collapsed mode.

It should be much harder to accidentally click on the resize handles while trying to freeform drag a part using the Scale tool with the Lua Draggers Beta is enabled.

Tilting / Rotating a part with the Lua Draggers Beta should always tilt / rotate on the correct axis even when Use Local Space is turned off.

Dragger behavior toggle UI has been revamped for added clarity.

WeldConstraint changed to store relative offsets to reduce floating point precision loss.

Luau will no longer treat __meta as a special property to indicate the type of the metatable for the given table.

Changed Humanoid:ApplyDescription() to allow it to be used on the client for locally created Humanoids.

Resizing a part with the Resize tool will now allow you to resize down to smaller than the grid increment again (this restores the behavior the tool had before the Lua Draggers release).

Rotating parts with both Constraints and rotational snapping enabled should now work correctly in all cases.

Fixed a bug where moving welded parts after using the Align tool could cause the parts to revert to their old positions.

Using T / R to tilt and rotate parts with the Lua Draggers Beta will no longer generate a small floating point error.

Fixed Android gamepad DPad button mapping.

Fixed os.time() to assume that the input table is in UTC (which used to be true in 2018 & 2019, but stopped being true in June 2020).

Fixed an issue with the in-game purchase prompt and products that contain a % in the name.

ScrollingFrames can now scroll horizontally if the scrolling frame can only scroll horizontally and no parent scrolling frame can scroll vertically.

Freeform dragging parts with the Lua Draggers Beta with “Use Local Space” disabled would sometimes give slightly wrong results with some models. This has been fixed.

Fixed an issue where the loading spinner in Plugin Management would never disappear.

Fixed a physics sleep bug where waking part would fail to wake the whole mechanism.

ScrollingFrames can now be scrolled horizontally without pressing shift if the scrolling frame cannot scroll vertically.

Introduced LevelOfDetail property to model instances to automatically generate impostor meshes to be rendered out of streaming radius.

Luau will now permit you to write parentheses around type annotations without trying to parse it as a function type annotation.

Shift select has been added for multiple element selection in Asset Manager.

This further removes deprecated SurfaceTypes and JointInstnace functionality. Hinge and Motor surfaces are deprecated, and should not be used for any new work. Please use the constraint counterparts instead. Surface properties will be hidden when all surfaces are set to Smooth. JoinToOutsiders will only create Weld JointInstances.

(Luau Beta) Script analysis can now distinguish between types with identical shapes. eg Vector3 and CFrame.

MeshLoD V2 offering 3 RenderFidelity options to satisfy high-quality or high-performance requirements.

Improved stitching between Terrain LODs. Especially noticeable with StreamingEnabled.

Dragging large non-welded models with the Lua Draggers Beta will no longer cause a short freeze when ending the drag.

Lua Draggers will no longer break if you switch tools using a hotkey in the middle of a drag.

Edit asset window now clearly indicates loading state.

When returning to Editing after a Play Solo session in Roblox Studio, the Select tool will reliably be reselected in all cases.
