Notes for Release 553

[tinycells (Relentless)]

So many release note what?

Forgetting a period?

[pankii_kust (pankii_krust)]

hand clapped, now that curve Animation is fixed i still don’t think it’s usable as Animation Editor still cause a huge frame drop while playing Animation.

I’m curious if this will break any scripts

[colbert2677 (ImagineerColbert)]

What does this mean? Any effect on existing behaviour while using next?

…why?

[devSparkle]

Can I get some elaboration on this?

[Reset6866667 (Reset)]

The one fix about the scrolling in some categories really matters, I hope you can fix it soon, thank you for your service.

[Midnightific]

Though I’m assuming this is meaning if we index a data structure and the first index of the data structure is invalid then it will return nil(?). Can I get some clarification on this?

Sorry for the confusion, we should’ve mentioned that this change is only for the type of this function in Luau without any changes to runtime.

It actually makes Luau type match the runtime behavior.
When next is called on an empty table or the last key of the table, it always returned ‘nil’, but Luau type didn’t reflect that.

Without this change, the return type is seen as (K, V):

With this change it’s (K?, V):

[CaptinLetus]

This is correct. Broken down:

Fix Curve Animations, that use quaternion-rotation curves with auto-tangents, not playing correctly in-game

[CaptinLetus]

I am also curious, why are these two properties hidden? They are valuable, and hidden properties often go unnoticed to developers

[BenMactavsin]

Probably because there are three properties that just indicates if sound is playing or not and wanted to hide two of them in favour of the Playing property that also exist besides those two.
