Luau compiler accidentally enforced the limit of 255 locals instead of 200 locals. This is now fixed and the error messages for running out of various limits (200 locals, 200 upvalues, 255 registers) are substantially improved, but please note that this may break scripts that previously didn’t run in vanilla Lua but did run in Luau VM (e.g. because they had 210 locals).

Changed Motor6D/Transfrom to always be an offset from Part0 (parent) to Part1 (child), even if Part1 becomes the parent in the internal spanning tree because of a root change.

Luau: Changed the format for function types to use a skinny arrow (‘->’) instead of a fat arrow (‘=>’).

Exposed whether constraints should be drawn on top with the StudioService/DrawConstraintsOnTop property.

SelectionBox can now Adorn Attachments and Constraints as well as Models and Parts.

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

In new Luau VM xpcall now supports yielding inside the function object. This comes at no extra performance cost.

Added BasePart/Mass as a property. Once the property is enabled we’ll deprecate BasePart/GetMass in favor of it.

Changed microprofiler labels “uiStep” to “frameStep” and “jointsStepUi” to “stepAnimatedJoints”. Also, added joint counts to the tooltip for stepAnimatedJoints.

Added Gradient/Enabled (bool) which allows you to enable/disable the effect of gradient easily. Similar to Particle/Enabled/Beam/Enabled.

Added double/triple click support with a new argument to GuiObject/Activated.

Updated Manage Plugins design (text size and coloration).

Added creator dropdown in the new publish dialog.

Implemented initial support for first-class yieldable C calls in Luau VM, which makes pcall ~30x faster. This reworks the fundamentals of coroutine resumption so there be dragons.

Made updateVisuallySleeping (formerly known as onMovingHeartbeat) super fast.

Improved the performance of parallel collision detection in some cases.

Added Animator/ApplyVelocities. Takes a list of motors and applies velocities to Part1 (the assumed child part). Requires that the joints were already removed from the World by changing parent or setting JointInstance.Enabled = false before calling. Should be called on the network owner immediately after disabling joints and before animations are canceled.

Behavior improvements to the physics sleep system.

1. Open Studio
2. Go to File->New
3. Create an empty place
4. Go to File->Save and save it in a newly created folder (one that did not exist before, for instance on the desktop).
5. Close the file/place in Studio
6. Now delete the folder that you created when saving it, the one on your desktop.
7. You should be able to delete that folder without any problems, unlike before when you would get an error message from Windows Explorer saying unable to delete.

Fixed text selection not working correctly on macOS in Studio.

Fixed the return type of WorldRoot/Raycast.

Fixed a bug in Manage Plugins where removing a plugin goes into the Pending Update section.

“Drag Multiple Parts as One” studio setting will now function correctly again when dragging onto a rotated part. This fix will incidentally reduce floating point error some part dragging scenarios.

Luau no longer slows down or crashes Studio with expressions such as ("foo"):lower():lower() ... :lower():lower().

Added StudioService/ShowConstraintDetails, exposing the status of the Roblox Studio “Show Constraint Details” toggle to Lua.

TweenService updates have been moved from RunService/RenderStepped to RunService/Stepped.

Users can now copy/paste keyframes between animations in the new animation editor.

Added more microprofiler labels for work in Kernel::stepWorld:

• BuoyancyAccumulator::computeForce
• Humanoid::computeForces
• KernelJoint::computeForces
• copyCollisionConnectors
