Release Notes for 581

[Auhrii]

Terrain water had exactly that before we had smooth terrain! The old blocky terrain water was even animated to show which direction it flowed, if I recall it could only flow in 4 directions and at 3 speeds, per cell.

Why is the studio font so unreadable now?

[bluebxrrybot (blueberry)]

Roblox Studio font is barely readable

I assume this isn’t by design considering it is nearly impossible to read at a glance what is written around studio. Luckily a lot of things have icons, however for everything else, it’s extremely difficult to maneuver around the tools. [image] This is really hurting the accessibility of Roblox studio and most importantly, the duration of the development session. It’s only been about an hour and I can feel the eye strain.

Robloxapi has sadly stopped providing new info about new roblox updates

Thanks for pointing this out or I ^{+ others} wouldn’t’ve been the wiser. I primarily use RobloxApi as a means of searching the api in a much neater format, and in a timely manner at that, not so much for updates so suffice it to say I’d of still been out of the loop.

_{For anyone wondering…}

…the latest update RobloxApi recorded was 578 on May 31.

[Anaminus]

Sorry about the site not updating. Turns out it relied on the 32-bit version of studio builds, which Roblox stopped deploying at the start of June. The tooling has been updated to use the 64-bit version of studio, so the site should now update normally again.

But it affects physics already? What do you mean?

No not the waves. You only float on a plane.

[JoyfulFlowerMary (Mary)]

Agreed. Could the default background color become transparent next? That would eliminate two steps for me. That default border didn’t look appealing and just felt like an outdated “classic Roblox” leftover.

[bluebxrrybot (blueberry)]

I think maybe developers would be confused about that one. They may think the ScreenGui is disabled or something.

That change to terrain and collisiongroups sounds interesting. Will it now be possible to use water just for its visuals without having to redesign some parts of my (very) old games to work with its effects on parts in mind?

Wind-affected parts, yes please
