Release Notes for 588

[rogeriodec_games]

Two important new features implemented for debugging were not mentioned in this Release Note, and I only knew about them because I was alerted by another user:

Allow the quick inspection of a resulting value of a (selected) expressions while debugging

Thanks again for your notice! I hope that one day Roblox will be able to organize itself and notify users about released modifications.

Allow 'Run to Cursor' while debugging

Fantastic, thanks for letting me know! @IcyTides This is yet another example of how Roblox doesn’t notify users about fixes or implementations requested in the forum, leaving it up to users to figure it out on their own. It’s a shame.

This is something I have been warning about for a long time: establish more objective communication with users. Take note of the forum thread that generated the feature or fix request, and let the OP know in that same thread.
This will make it much easier and reduce hassle.

i love how roblox changes the ToS to take away dev rights and doesn’t mention it on devforum, then goes ahead and continues as normal

[pobammer (HowManySmall)]

they didn’t they just made it so you’re going to be the one sued if you’re infringing on copyright, which is how it should have been from the start

this is also not the place for it

[Deb0rahAliWilliams (MsDeborah)]

Great news, would save Developers a lot of work from proxies, so thank you for this update!

[KoneGFX (Kone)]

This is wonderful news!, HttpService will be a lot more helpful for me atleast,

“tostring() is now ~2x faster, tonumber() is now ~1.5x faster” – This will definitely help with performance as i tend to use these two quite often!

Overall, Looking forward to this and more!

[KoneGFX (Kone)]

Woah, they just let these features go public unannounced? … unusual to say the least

This new Roblox update has caused multiple issues to my macOS Apple Silicon client(both Intel and native versions)

Every time I am in any text field focused like the chat and I press Esc it exits FullScreen.
And also attempting to private message someone also doesn’t work and causes a weird glitch.

Does anyone else has such problems in the macOS Clients?

[kotel2005 (SolidarityWithUA)]

We finally might be able to use Roblox API in Roblox (I have no clue why the official API was inaccessible through HttpService before)

[foodeggs7 (SubToParcIeDev_onyt)]

HttpService is now allowed to make requests to specific Roblox domains.

mean this that hackers not can use his own domains for hacking and exploiting

[HugeCoolboy2007 (omega)]

That doesn’t have anything to do with exploiting; it just allows developers to send web requests to specified Roblox Domains

[metatablecatmaid (metatablecat)]

I (and a few others) have noticed a bunch of new audio instances, can we get an update on what these are for? Audio effect racks in Roblox?

[BizzarBlitz]

They’re likely replacements for the current SoundEffects

[IdontPlayz343 (FPS_Enjoyer)]

And they didn’t announce those?!? Im hyped anyways, those are amazing looking.

[be_nj (benjj)]

These features are unannounced because they are not ready to be announced yet.
Edit: Meant to reply to @IdontPlayz343, my bad.

[2jammers]

If you’re allowed to say:

What does this do?

My only guess is that this autocompletes player names, in-chat replies .

[BizzarBlitz]

Iirc someone mentioned TextChatCommand autocomplete? Could be anything but it seems more likely than chat replies.

[2jammers]

yeah that would make the most sense

[blvecoves]

It shouldn’t cause any bugs. There’s a locked version of HttpService called HttpRbxApiService, which is the same thing but requests to roblox.com are authorized.
