Howdy folks. Here are the latest release notes: Release Notes for 637 | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub

Stay healthy and safe!

[watamelnKalashnikov (wawa)]

This is huge thanks for fixing this.

[Dekkonot]

yo?

EDIT: Not what was anticipated. See: Release Notes for 637 - #38 by 0xabcdef1234. I am sad about it but it’s important to not get your hopes up.

[PysephDEV (Pyseph)]

I have been waiting for this for so, so, SO LONG. HOLY MOLY

[jackTabsCode (Jack)]

I’m interested in hearing more about OverlapParams.Tolerance!

[Rocky28447 (Rocky)]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

YYYYYYYEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Not one, but TWO of the most annoying UI development hurdles fixed in one fell swoop. GOOD STUFF!

[777PerfectPlayer777 (NightPlayer)]

Wasn’t ‘improve video processing’ in last update but it was removed from there?

[AridTheDev (Arid)]

This.

This.

This.

And this.

637 is now my new favorite release note, no doubt

[MaybeHoshi (NotHoshi)]

They are finally paying attention to the rotation property??

Yay!
Hope they do this more often.

[bigtheangry]

Oooo, what’s the OverlapParams.Tolerance property going to do?

[Streeteenk]

THIS IS FINALLY HAPPENING! Amazing!

[RuizuKun_Dev (Kitsune)]

What does this mean?

[sata5pa3da]

Can someone from Roblox pleaseee confirm this is what we all think it is???

[NotRapidV (Rapid)]

THANK YOU, so many times I tried to copy and paste something in Discord and it was broken because of this.

@RuizuKun_Dev

What [do the Tag changes] mean?

Before:

instance1:HasTag("Test") -> false
CollectionService:HasTag(instance1, "Test") -> false
instance2:HasTag("Test") -> 💥, oops, instance2 was the CollectionService!

After:

CollectionService:HasTag(instance1, "Test") -> false
CollectionService:HasTag("Test") -> Believe it or not, also false!

[tnavarts]

@bigtheangry

Oooo, what’s the OverlapParams.Tolerance property going to do?

What it says on the tin! Include parts in the region query even if they aren’t quite touching (separated by at most Tolerance). It will default to zero maintaining backwards compatibility with current uses.

[Tom_atoes]

How is this different to just making the hitbox/region for the query bigger?

[bvetterdays (roman)]

Will we see an update post for these new methods? Are there any benefits to them than using the alternatives (maybe performance-wise)? Have they been added to help Lua fall more in-line with other coding languages?

[gluGPU (Glu)]

Whoa… what’s all this?

[vopwn55 (IAmVo)]

I believe this function will help us a lot with development but the name is very short and unclear. For instance, it does not explain what kind of asset it’s for, what telemetry polling is happening, etc. It would better if the function was rephrased to include these vital details to not confuse us developers.
