Luau will now trace requires that index children with brackets, e.g. require(script["Child"]).

Luau will only report that a global is unknown as a type error when type checking is enabled, instead of as a type error and a linter warning.

Dynamic Skies is a multi-phase project, with an incremental API specification.

The initial minimal viable product (MVP) has a simple initial minimalist API phase called, Phase 1a. Here the Clouds API Structure appears in Studio as follows under the Workspace object,

Clouds - an object containing a collection of clouds across the sky. Initially only one Clouds object is rendered to cover the whole sky.

• Cover [0-1] is the fraction of cloud cover over the space occupied by clouds. This is equivalent to Oktas cloud cover scale but ranging from 0 to 1 instead of 0 to 8.
• Density [0-1] of the particles making up each cloud. This mainly affects the transparency of the clouds medium. Lower values give light appearance and high values bring darker, more stormy appearance.

The Clouds volume which extends to the horizon includes a visual curvature to extend down to the horizon, this is a default behavior in Phase 1a. Later on, further controls will be developed and released.

In Phase 1a Clouds integrate with the Sky object, and optionally in composition with the Atmosphere object. Phase 1c will offer an alternative for completely physically based Clouds+Atmosphere without need for the Sky’s skybox cubemap textures towards better ultimate realism.

In Phase 1, wind has a suitable fixed default motion and a preset animated cloud motion is released for this minimum viable product early ‘open beta’ phase.

Fixed an issue where sometimes not all of your creations would show in the Asset Configuration window and in My Models in Toolbox.

Added the method table.clear(tb) which empties a table but leaves the prior capacity allocated allowing efficient re-use of Lua tables.

Virtual Cursor toggle added for Gamepads. Virtual cursor on gamepad makes it easier to interact with UI elements in games that are not designed to support gamepad.

Added beta feature for all new major Script Editor features.

Added a new method datatype/CFrame|CFrame:Orthonormalize(), which returns an orthonormalized copy of the CFrame. The Part::CFrame property automatically applies orthonormalization, but other APIs which take CFrames do not, so this method will occasionally be necessary when when incrementally updating a CFrame and using it with them.

Luau now requires that types be known for all binary operators in strict mode.

Luau Types: when converting one sealed table to another, an error message is now produced when the source table is missing properties that exist in the destination table or when the source table contains extra properties that don’t exist in the destination.

DataModel/GetJobsExtendedStats, DataModel/GetJobTimePeakFraction and DataModel/GetJobIntervalPeakFraction methods were removed from DataModel. These were Plugin-only (so this can not affect games) and have been broken for quite some time. If plugin authors are looking for functions that return job statistics that actually work, DataModel/GetJobsInfo should be used instead.

Fixed alignment of the logout menu when Studio is not maximized.

Fixed an issue with PluginMenus not always showing and causing infinite yields.

Bones can be dragged using the Lua Draggers while simulation is active (previously this would throw an error). Dragging multiple bones at once where some are nested under others will work correctly.

Typed Luau now traces types across modules even in nonstrict mode.

Luau now knows the return types of datatype/RBXScriptSignal|RBXScriptSignal:Wait() calls.

Changed the hotkey of toggle comment from “Ctrl+shift+c” to “ctrl+/”.

Deprecated Animator proxy APIs on Humanoid and AnimationController. Animator should be referenced directly instead.

The other APIs risk accidentally creating a de-synchronized local-only animator if called too early on the client. Animators should be explicitly created at edit time or on the server first, with the client waiting for the server created Animator.

Terrain height based blending for PC and Mac.

Added Part properties and functions for applying impulses and setting velocity on a Part’s rigid body.

The Rotate tool visual has been updated, removing the visible segmentation in the rotate ring, and showing the angle rotated via a pie-slice shape.

Optimization of multiple parallel calls to Players/GetUserIdFromNameAsync or Players/GetNameFromUserIdAsync. The UsersService remains the preferred way to collect player info in bulk.

Luau will no longer allow you to narrow a type in an if statement if the type is not built-in.

New API InsertService:CreateMeshPartAsync, MeshPart/ApplyMesh and MeshPart/MeshSize.

New API to allow asset types to be verified so that Humanoid/ApplyDescription can be used more securely.

Use <br /> tags for line break in RichText.

New script editor setting: `Clean Empty Line1. Formatting selection will clean up indentation from empty line when it’s on.
