Roblox

Fixed issues with Japanese and Korean input methods on Windows Client.

Fixed ‘Share’ option (in Start Page) for public places.

Fixed an issue that package performance drops when user drags a 3D model in the 3D view.

When using the Lua Draggers, the outline displayed where joint will be created will no longer desync from the part position when pressing T or R while freeform dragging.

Instance/GetDebugId|Instance:GetDebugId(len) will return if passed len=0. Otherwise, a _ for len > 0. The scope will be up to len long but may be shorter. This fixes a bug where passing a len == the ascii length of the scope would output just the scope. For example, GetDebugId(1) would return “1” vs “1_23456” but GetDebugId(2) would return “1_23456”.

A minor memory leak during CharacterLoad was fixed.

After a fresh installation of Roblox Studio, or after a complete removal of Roblox Studio and re-installation, the default save folder should be the user’s Documents folder.

Added an “Align Dragged Objects” toggle to the context menu when using the Lua Draggers Beta, which will allow you to drag objects without modifying their rotation when unchecked.

Certain properties of the player that were spoofable are no longer spoofable.

The Rotate dragger has a new visual, including rotation ticks so that it is easier to see how far you have rotated, and slightly thinner handles to get in the way less.

Performance improvements for the new in-game menu.

Fixed duplicate asset insertions from Toolbox.

Fixed GuiObject/TouchSwipe|GuiObject.TouchSwipe events on android.

A memory leak identified by brinkokevin in https://devforum.roblox.com/t/character-memory-leak/588468 is fixed. It occurred when an accessory was created, added to a character, and then destroyed multiple times.

Added internal error reporting for plugins.

Studio Beta for SurfaceAppearance advanced textures.

Added support for Circular thumbnails to the rbxthumb ContentId format. Used like rbxthumb://type=AvatarHeadShot&id=261&w=150&h=150&filters=circular.

Performance improvement on Android Vulkan devices.

Improved stitching between Terrain LODs. Especially noticeable with StreamingEnabled.

Dragging with Collisions enabled with the Lua Draggers Beta will work correctly again.

Prevented Sounds from autoplaying when uploaded as models.

Improve. the reliability of the TextLabel/TextButton/TextBox TextBounds/TextFits properties.

TextLabel./extBounds and TextService/GetTextSize|TextService:GetTextSize() now round up the result to the nearest whole integer. This means fractional TextBounds are no longer returned irrespective of device ResolutionScale.

Lua Draggers Beta no longer has a rare edge case where models could sometimes disappear / become distorted when dragged onto surfaces at a very specific angle.

Camera sensitivity can be set to fine-grained values in the new settings menu.

Slider values in the new settings menu are properly clamped to min and max values when using keyboard input

os. library now exposes os.clock (a high resolution timer with no defined base, suitable for measuring performance of the code) and makes os.date match behavior of vanilla Lua (with support for format strings beyond “*t” and “!*t”)

Allow Copying is a new setting added in the Edit Place tab from Game Settings.

New feature in Game Setting->Options called Shutdown All Server, which shuts down the server and disconnects all the clients that are currently connected and playing the game.

ColorSequences will sanitize input values a bit more aggressively now, clamp colors to 0…1.

Added a tool tip window to NoCollisionConstraint.

The Lua Draggers Beta can now effectively drag Attachments in run mode. There were several issues with this functionality before which have been resolved.

Fixed a rare error occurring when opening the Permissions tab in Asset Configuration.

Fixe a crash in Studio Script Analysis that could occur when typechecking extremely long Lua expressions.

TextLabel/TextBounds and TextService/GetTextSize|TextService:GetTextSize() now round up the result to the nearest whole integer. This means fractional TextBounds are no longer returned irrespective of device ResolutionScale.

Fixed a bug regarding removing assets inside Asset Manager.

Lua Draggers Beta will no longer generate any floating point error when doing 90/180 degree rotations.

Lua Draggers Beta no longer unanchors parts while dragging, meaning copying or duplicating parts during a drag should be completely safe. Dragging performance with Collisions enabled should also be noticeably improved.

Fixed PromptBlockPlayer not being registered by the Corescripts.

Fixed an issue with gamepad connection while Studio is open.

On the off chance that you get a reference to a StudioTheme Instance, you can no longer add children or set its parent.

Fixed an issue with the “Print Join Size Breakdown” feature in Studio that caused all numbers to be reported inaccurately.

Fixed a crash in Studio Script Analysis that could occur when typechecking extremely long Lua expressions.

Dragging in an asset from the Toolbox to insert it now only requires a single undo to revert.

When dragging parts with the Lua Draggers Beta, the position and orientation properties in the Properties pane should update in real-time as the parts are dragged.

Several Lua Draggers Beta perf improvements. Box select in particular should be noticeably snappier.

The drag handles in the Lua Draggers Beta will no longer be unusably large when working zoomed in on extremely long skinny parts.

When end is missing in Lua code, the parser error message now highlights the likely location of mismatch using indentation as a guide.

Luau can now possibly suggest properties found in the table if the actual key wasn’t found.

Optimized typeof(); it is now ~6-7x faster.

BasePart/UnionAsync and BasePart/SubtractAsync should properly respect the CollisionFidelity argument when creating new geometry.

Improved the clarity of Luau errors in some cases, for example arithmetic operations on builtin userdata types now mention the types involved instead of “userdata”.

Duplicating a part while handle dragging under the Lua Draggers Beta will no longer end the drag, letting you stamp objects while handle dragging. This restores the same behavior the old draggers had.

Added a VR Mode toggle to the new in-game menu.

New feature in Game Setting->Options called Shutdown All Server, which shuts down the server and disconnects all the clients that are currently connected and playing the game.

Updated Studio builtin translations.

Luau coroutine resumption is now ~10% faster (as measured on a prime sieve benchmark using coroutine based generators).

Lua tables are now ~20% smaller (doesn’t apply to array-like tables).

Luau now supports compound assignments (+=, -=, *=, /=, %=, ^= and ..=). The assignments only work on single values (a, b += 1 is invalid); the left hand side is only evaluated once. When modifying table keys, __index and __newindex will be called as necessary - no new metamethods are introduced.

Fixed missing textures on some gles 2.0 devices.

Fixed overwriting group plugins when publishing.

Add method WorldRoot/BulkMoveTo, which moves a table of parts to CFrames in a table of CFrames, without firing property changed events. Not firing property changes makes this a very fast method for moving parts, at the cost of the changes not replicating to the client or being recognized by the undo history.

Fixed localization of color picker frame.

Fixed a bug with the auto-creation of AnalyticsService.

Lua Draggers Beta no longer throws an error if you drag select Parts parented to other Parts or Attachments in the hierarchy.

Lua Draggers Beta will no longer generate floating point error when attempting to move a part whose movement is blocked with Collisions enabled.

Orientation of models will remain more stable as they are dragged across terrain using the Lua Draggers Beta.

Fixed a bug where grass (decoration) updates sometimes would fail.

The hover box shown around hovered parts in the Lua Draggers Beta no longer flickers when hovering over the drag handles.

Lua Draggers Beta now respects grid snap when dragging onto terrain.

Added PluginManagerInterface. Calling PluginManager|PluginManager() will return this instance, which is per-DataModel. It also prevents adding children to PluginManager.

Improved the reliability of the TextLabel/TextButton/TextBox TextBounds/TextFits properties.

Luau GC accounting is a bit more precise now, which results in slightly faster collections and slightly smaller Lua heaps.

Solver single threaded part optimized.

In streaming enabled games local parts are no longer streamed out, unless they have an ancestor that is a server created part.

Optimized string.byte/char/len to run faster; for the optimizations to be effective, it’s important to call the functions (string.byte(foo, 5)) directly instead of using method calls (foo:byte(5)). string.byte is up to 4x faster as a result of this change when reading a few bytes per call.

Improved table.unpack to be ~15% faster

Optimized solver.

The title bars of Lua dialogs (e.g. Game Settings) do not contain the question mark (?) button anymore.

Changed the Developer icon in the leaderboard to be for every developer who can edit the group game instead of just the owner.

Outlines are no more.

coroutine.create and coroutine.wrap now support C functions as an input.

Hid info button on beta features that did not have an associated DevForum or DevHub page.

Added new Studio Script Editor setting “Rulers”. You can set up multiple rulers to be drawn at the columns you specified.

Adding DateTime type in studio.

Removed specular highlight on the terrain under the grass.

Fixed conveyor behavior for anchored parts with mass lower than the character. The mass threshold should not have applied to anchored parts.

Reduce the size of Luau debug line information by ~3x (as a result some large scripts now take ~1.5x less memory total for script bytecode).

Improved Luau type definitions for a majority of Roblox APIs.

Improvement to the visual behavior of Terrain streaming.

Fixed the developer console freezing clients with the new scrolling frame layout code.

Fixed localization of color picker frame.

Dragging parts right at the origin with the Lua Draggers Beta will no longer occasionally cause an error.

Fixed materials glitching out on parts when physics convex decomp display is turned on.

Updated studio built-in plugin translations.

Luau GC is now up to ~25% faster on userdata-heavy scripts due to a faster and more secure __gc implementation.

The constraint details tooltip now displays in the Lua Draggers Beta.

Updated text in Plugin Management from “Remove” to “Uninstall” to reflect that removing a plugin will also uninstall it from your computer.

Luau type aliases must now use the syntax “export type” to define a type alias that can be imported from other modules.

Adding Lighting/DepthOfFieldEffect. When enabled can independently adjust near and far-field blur intensities as well as focus distance.

Removed specular highlight on the terrain under the grass.
