Fixed index nil issue with the UI Editor and undo/redo.

Fixed “Manage Plugin” description overlap issue.

Fixed the RecordToggleVerb’s deadlock problem when recording over 14 minutes in Windows studio.

Fixed multiple path obstacles reported incorrectly.

Studio builds will now fail if added deprecated references to plugins code in LuaProjects without approval.

Added autocomplete in Toolbox search.

Added a Back button into success screen for publishing an asset.

StudioService/ActiveScript will fire when switching to the viewport tab.

The pivot indicator will no longer be shown while box selecting multiple parts / models.

StreamOutBehavior mode for streaming enabled games. When mode is Default or LowMemory no change to behavior, regions are only streamed out due to memory pressure. When mode is Opportunistic then regions beyond the target radius may be streamed out by the engine even when sufficient memory is available.

Improved text filtering consistency in Toolbox Plugin.

Luau constraint resolver can now refine the operands of equality expressions.

Lowered the smallest scale for constraint and attachment widgets.

Improved the import of fbx avatars and animations. Previously, animations in an fbx file would only work on the same avatar in that file. Now you can read in an animation from an fbx file with a variety of characters selected and the animation should come in okay in many cases that used to be just chaos.

Added new property “ResampleMode” on ImageObjects so that developers can toggle between linear and nearest neighbor filtering for ImageLabel/ImageButton.

Luau linter now warns on uses of FindFirstChildWhichIsA and similar functions when the className argument doesn’t refer to a valid class name.

Changing Part/Shape is 5x faster.

Explorer will now highlight entire row on selection/hovering.

Autocomplete in Toolbox search.

Changed BasePart/PivotTo to also move descendant parts and models rather than just the part itself (this was the intended behavior). We will identify any affected places via logging and contact devs beforehand to avoid breaking live games with this change.

Added new methods to Color3 to support hex color code conversions.

The draggers now work correctly in all cases when your place has Workspace.SignalBehavior = Deferred set.

When editing the pivot of a part using the Pivot Editor with pivot snapping turned on, axis moving the pivot will now only snap it to a different object if the pivot actually physically touches that new object, not just touches its bounding box.

Fixed an issue with dragging a package from the toolbox.

Fixed a crash when 0 arguments are passed to task.delay. Also, fixed additional task-related crashes.

Fixed an issue where MeshParts could not be resized in small increments.

Fixed an issue with part resizing.

Added support for Japanese, Spanish, and Portuguese languages to Studio.

Terrain editor now replaces empty text fields with placeholder when focus is lost.

Invisible Image and TextButtons are not selectable by gamepad auto highlighting.

Humanoid/FloorMaterial is no longer replicated across client/server boundary and is instead computed locally. Listening to a Humanoid.FloorMaterial for a Humanoid not owned by client/server could cause performance issues.

Luau linter will start warning about duplicate locals and function arguments, e.g.

function obj:method(self, arg) -- here self is declared twice, implicitly and explicitly

Added Pathfinding Modifiers.

Fixed a bug that the TeachingCallouts still show when studio is minimized on Mac machines.

Breakpoint Red marker circle position fix in relation to code.

The red breakpoint circle was drawn a few pixels too high and with smaller font sizes it was hard to see which line it belonged to. This change addresses this and now the circle lines up with the code line.

Fixed a bug where Script Editor “Format On Paste” did not trigger when using paste menu button or right-click option.

Fixed a bug where the Script Editor formatter would incorrectly format multi-line conditions in ‘if’, ‘elseif’, and ‘while’ blocks.

Fixed Humanoid/ApplyDescription sometimes not changing faces correctly.

Fixed a memory explosion when type-checking generic methods.

Humanoid:ApplyDescription() memory leak fix

unpack and table.unpack are now ~2x faster than before when used in a variadic context.

Luau constraint resolver can now refine properties of tables and classes.

Made Properties category order more stable.

Added Player/NetworkPing. This value returns an int that represents the minimum ping time (in milliseconds) of a player, but does not represent how long something like a RemoteEvent may actually take to process (this can change based on how busy the server is, how many remote events are being sent, etc.). This value is only accessible on the server.

Import of fbx avatars and animations is improved. Previously, animations in an fbx file would only work on the same avatar in that file. Now you can read in an animation from an fbx file with a variety of characters selected and the animation should come in okay in many cases that used to be just chaos.

Fixed a bug where the Share Your Game window is not shown for public team create place.

Clean up CalloutDefinition after usage.

Fixed an issue where light guides erroneously persist on being parented to incompatible instances.

Fixed an issue where MeshParts could not be resized in small increments.

Fixed an issue with part resizing.

Script Editor “Auto Closing Quotes” will no longer trigger when a quotation mark is before the editor cursor.

Added a “Selection Box Thickness” setting to the Studio Settings, and a corresponding Selection::SelectionThickness API to read the setting value from plugins.

Changed the behavior of light guides at large angles and added center line.

Undoing a deletion in Studio will no longer individually select all the descendants of the restored Instances. Only the toplevel restored instances will be selected.

Uses of getfenv/setfenv will be flagged by the script analysis as deprecated. Note that we do not have plans to remove getfenv/setfenv support, and the warning is intended to discourage use in favor of alternatives like debug.info for introspection or require to replace custom module injectors. The warning can be silenced via --!nolint DeprecatedGlobal.

Added monotonic server time API under workspace, “workspace:GetServerTimeNow()”, which returns the time since the unix epoch in microseconds.

Added a new Brightness property for ParticleEmitter, Trail, and Beamthat allows boosting the diffuse color when theirLightInfluence` is less than one.

New Squash property to particles for non-uniform particle stretching, curve controlled for bouncy effects.

Made Properties category order more stable.

A wireframe outline of lights is shown when they are part of the selection.

In game purchase prompt now gives mouse control in first person shooter games.

Luau linter will now start warning on certain types of copy & paste errors in conditionals. For example:
assert(self._adorns[normID1] and self._adorns[normID1])

Fixed a backtrace crash related to ChangeHistoryService and added lock check for monitoring related race.

A small but problematic memory leak that occurred when calling MoveTo / PivotTo / SetPrimaryPartCFrame has been fixed.

Fixed assert not resolving constraints if the condition was not a binary expression.

Added strict typing to PlayerScripts.

Added a new beta feature: Luau can check that scripts are using DataModel objects correctly.

Added voice chat setting in Game Settings in Studio.

Migrated WhatsNew first time pop-up to TeachingCallouts.

Enabled displaying/using TeachingCallouts outside a place session.

Avatar Importer and Properties Pane mesh importing workflows will now set the pivot of the imported MeshParts to be the origin of the space that the mesh was imported from.

Added strict typing to PlayerScripts.

Player/CharacterRemoving will be triggered on client. The event is raised after Players/PlayerRemoving on both client/server.

Second revision of change switching Humanoid state replication to a property from an assembly property in physics replication.

Changed a Torsion Spring property name from LimitEnabled to LimitsEnabled and deprecated the LimitEnabled.

Added a winch motor to the rope constraint.

Added Accessories/AccessoryType property to Accessories to set what type of accessory they are.

Standardize internal transcoding of audio assets to OGG/Vorbis file format.

The package modification check should work in all cases again. Some cases with nested models were broken along with the Pivot API release.

Fixed the jump that happens using the context menu to add/delete breakpoints in the left side of the script editor.

Fixed an extra arrow from appearing next to the function variables in My Watches widget.

Fixed an issue with slow camera panning on some touch devices.

Luau types for Enums now include legacy items such as TeeShirt as well as TShirt.

Luau Types: The location of errors reported are now more precise when indexing a table with a type incompatible with the table’s indexer type.

Made the types of Humanoid/MoveTo and Humanoid/EquipTool more precise.

Beta Feature - Reduced the minimum BasePart size limit from (0.05, 0.05, 0.05) to (0.001, 0.001, 0.001)

Replaced waitForLongProcess with submitTask for undo/redo in RobloxStudioVerbs and ChangeHistoryService.

Added strict typing to playerscripts.

Removed AvatarJointPositionType.

table.insert(T, idx, v) will change is behavior when idx < 1: instead of shifting the entire table by 1, it will simply insert the value at index idx, similarly to what happens when idx > #T. This is necessary to prevent table.insert from going into an almost-infinite loop when idx is a negative value; note that all uses of table.insert where idx is not in [1, #T+1] range are very likely bugs, and script analysis will start warning about some of them.

Luau will allow x["foo"] when x is an instance of a class.

Added new pathfinding path waypoints debug visualization.

Added deferred Lua resumption point to runservice start.

Added a parameter that controls intermediate waypoint spacing where math.huge means no intermediate waypoints.

Added an alias for MeshPart.TextureID with consistent casing to other properties.

Added a debug visualizer for adaptive timestepping.

Added a new Velocity Stretch property for particle emitters that have the VelocityParallel orientation that elongates the particle shape in the direction of their velocity based on the velocity magnitude.

Added new methods for scheduling threads for resumption on Heartbeat to the task library.

Added AssetType.TShirt (alias for AssetType.TeeShirt, which is still available)

Removed the HumanoidDefaultAssets folder from beneath StarterPlayer.

Added an option on Workspace (HumanoidOnlySetCollisionsOnStateChange) that will change how the collision on humanoid body parts are set. If enabled, body parts collision states will only be updated when changing humanoid states (ex. run to jump), adding a character to the workspace, modifying an existing child of the character or adding or removing new instances under the character. At first, by default, this feature will be set to be disabled and the body parts will behave as they do today. In the future, though, the default option may change to enabled and will execute the behavior described above.

Fixed an issue where Toolbox could show the wrong categories in the dropdown on initial load.

Fixed a crash when clicking CreatePath in the Object Browser.

Fixed an issue with the Animation Clip Editor not deactivating when selecting an object in the Explorer.

Resumption of threads yielded by task.synchronize() are no longer throttled.

MVP Clouds phase 1 release. Clouds object must be moved or placed under Workspace/Terrain to become visible.

Luau-powered autocomplete now knows the type of resources in the data model.

Phase 1b cloud sampling improvements.

More detailed Ambient Occlusion in highest graphics quality setting on desktop.

Align Position and Align Orientation constraints have a new OneAttachment mode. When the constraints are in this mode the body that owns attachment0 will be the only body to move. For Align Position the attachment0 will be moved to the specified position. For Align Orientation the body will be rotated to the specified orientation, specified by both a primary and secondary axis. If primary axis only is true, then only the primary axis is used.

Animation data will not be saved for non-joints.

Fixed 1 in 65,000 UI triangles not rendering on Windows.

Fixed graphical corruption that occurs in rare cases when the UIStroke beta is enabled.

The package modification check should work in all cases again. Some cases with nested models were broken along with the Pivot API release.

Fixed a bug on Studio Windows that undo grouping a script into a model will close the studio.

Fixed Toolbox searches in Play mode.

Fixed adaptive timestepping performance regression involving the removal of assemblies from workspace.

Added input invocation point for deferred events.

Replaced waitForLongProcess with submitTask for undo/redo in RobloxStudioVerbs and ChangeHistoryService.

Added strict typing to PlayerScripts.

First phase of the Clouds release: Clouds object must be moved or placed under Workspace/Terrain to become visible.

Added a new method for spawning a new thread immediately.

The flatten tool is now more true to its name, only pulling up and pulling down surfaces within the range of the brush to meet the flattening plane, rather than removing and adding material everywhere within the brush. This also adds support for fixed planes on intermediary Y-levels and fixes an issue where using the flatten tool would leave behind bumps. This feature is only currently available as part of the “Terrain Quality of Life Changes” beta.

Removed AvatarJointPositionType.

Luau linter now displays warnings for erroneous or inefficient uses of table.insert/table.remove

Beta Feature: Add BasePart/CanQuery|BasePart.CanQuery property. Allows for setting parts to be ignored by spatial queries such as raycasts or Region3 queries.

Now, “Show CorePackages” is included in settings.

Added an option to go to a property’s reference object through the context menu.

Terrain generator now displays time taken to generate in a GUI instead of in the output.

Fixed a bug where under the TEST tab’s “Clients and Server” section, the “Local Server” was cut off to “Local Serve” on Mac.

Fixed a bug that the second column of selection boxes appears when dragging and moving an object in explorer.

Fixed a bug that the message box title for displaying Clear Terrain warning is not displayed correctly on Windows.

Place no longer crashes Studio.

Fixed a bug that you can’t type the letters that are associated with shortcuts in adding a group in Collision Groups Editor.

Fixed a bug that the string “Untitled Place” is not localized to Chinese on Publish Place window on Luobu Studio after adding a new place.

Toolbox: Fixed previewed Audio overlapping and subsequent previews starting at the wrong track position.

Fixed timestamps in the Dev Console.

Fixed humanoid swimming behavior.

Luau definitions of events and callbacks are updated to fix typechecking warnings.

Fixed adaptive timestepping performance regression involving the removal of assemblies from workspace.

Fixed a bug where setting a client-owned Part’s velocity from the server would not work.

The Move/Rotate draggers now support duplicating the dragged parts with Ctrl+D in the middle of a drag again. This behavior was inadvertently broken a few weeks ago.

Under the Pivot Editor beta, the Draggers now support “Handle Summoning”: The Tab key can be held to temporarily summon the dragger handles to the location that your cursor is hovering over.

Computing table length can now be faster, which makes table.insert(t, v) 25-40% faster on Windows.

Decals and Textures are now sorted by ZIndex the same way GuiObjects are.

Changed the minimum value of TextLabel/TextButton/TextBox LineHeight from 1 to 0.

Rig Type is detected when importing through the R15 workflow in the Avatar Importer.

Corrected the naming of Enum.DraggerCoordinateSpace.Constant --> Enum.DraggerCoordinateSpace.World.

Fixed a bug with Accelerated Collision Pipeline and Collision Groups not working correctly.

Additionally, all uninitialized collision groups will by default collide with all existing collision groups.

Performance improvements for large RaycastParam ignore & include lists.

Improved the import of fbx avatars and animations is improved. Previously, animations in an fbx file would only work on the same avatar in that file. Now, you can read in an animation from an fbx file with a variety of characters selected and the animation should come in okay in many cases that used to be just chaos.
