Fixed a bug where the PlayerModule API unintentionally exposed members of CameraModule.

Added BallSocketConstraint/MaxFrictionTorque and AngularVelocity/ReactionTorqueEnabled to support simple joint friction.

Added the Pants ID entry field back into the Game Settings Avatar tab.

ScrollingFrame|ScrollingFrames now scroll by a fixed amount instead of by a percentage of the ScrollingFrame’s height.

Fixed an issue with override asset loading and added support for GroupModels and GroupPlugins.

Fixed an issue causing using Updated instead of Relevance to fetch plugins.

Improved the performance of the terrain generator.

Improved the power of large terrain brushes, and the results from the auto material brush setting.

In Luau, closing over upvalues that don’t change (that is, aren’t assigned to) is now substantially faster, generates less GC pressure, and the resulting closures take less memory.

Made behavior improvements to the physics sleep system.

Added a no checking mode which can be enabled through “–!nocheck” at the start of the script. While in this mode and you have the new Lua script analysis beta feature enabled, type annotations are allowed but are ignored.

Note that for this statement to work in Studio, you have to be opted into Luau VM beta.

Streaming properties in the workspace are now hidden unless streaming is enabled.

Asset ids for currently running plugins are now tracked in the same manner as the identity visible from printidentity() in Studio. You should see -2 as a placeholder for user plugins loaded from the plugins folder in the filesystem when you printidentity() and the asset id when using printidentity() from a published plugin asset.

Deprecated Plugin/GetStudioUserId in favor of StudioService/GetUserId.

Team/PlayerRemoved now fires after the Player has been removed from Players when a player leaves the game.

Partially fixed an issue with Sound/Playing and Sound/TimePosition not behaving properly in Team Create.

Lua kick should now display the custom error message even if the client is disconnected early in the game load process. Lua kick adds a message that shows in logs. Do not rely on that log message existing or only existing for Lua kicks.

Improvements to the LDL constraint solver performance.

WorldModel for limited physics functionality in a ViewportFrame.

Terrain generator now offsets its noise based on the target position so that contiguous generations blend together.

Optimized table.pack (~1.5x faster) and table.create with a second argument (also ~1.5x faster).

In studio, http proxy settings will be reset. These properties will no longer be writable from plugins or the command bar. They will remain readable.
