Notes for Release 552

[sanjay2003 (Sanjay)]

Surprisingly useful feature. I’ve always wondered how much memory certain fonts took.

I hope Roblox allows more features to be toggle-able, and not forced to be one or the other.

Return type of Enum.SpecificType:GetEnumItems is now {Enum.SpecificType} instead of general {EnumItem}

Thank goodness, it’s REALLY useful that you guys are starting to change the returning of data, and arguments to the correct types.

R6 animations sometimes do not load in or play (been happening in most r6 games today) - Bug Reports / Engine Bugs - DevForum | Roblox

This update appears to have severely impacted R6 animations in live games across the board. Even the Sit animation does not work properly

Curious as to why there aren’t any api changes for this release

2 things came back woooo, but the ones I’m curious is “IsCFrameDriven”

[Hexcede]

They are manually generated. As far as I am aware they are technically unofficial.

Speaking of Enum types, the Enum type itself doesn’t describe a GetEnumItems method. This is a really really specific use case, so I’m not surprised and am curious if any other living soul has seen this before, but, I recently wanted to use this for some data serialization. In particular, I wanted to be able to take any Enum.SpecificType as an input, and create a mapping of EnumItem.Values for it, for data serialization purposes.

Right now my quick and dirty hack is to type the argument as Enum & {GetEnumItems: () -> {EnumItem}}, which, to my surprise actually works.

Even better would be Enum as a generic, e.g. Enum<Enum.SpecificType> so I can let the type checker infer the EnumItem types by using a generic on my function. (I may be misunderstanding whether or not the typechecker can do that, but to my knowledge I believe it would)

It’s unofficial, and still a somewhat manual process on my part. I was feeling ill when the post was made and my post spot hasn’t been reserved lately. I should have an automated solution going soon.
