Some nice optimisations here, the verbosity of these notes are great to see too

One of the few Notes where everything seems to be in the correct category, honestly I must applaud the Roblox team for working even harder on this one just to make sure nothing that begins with “Fixes” is in Improvements

That’s what I was thinking. I feel like a tint mask would be a lot more powerful as a separate map though. If the alpha channel is used for the mask, we won’t be able to use tint masks for transparent textures, right? Glad to see SurfaceAppearance is getting more features either way

Nice optimizations! Optimize user experience by adding ingame join group prompt!

I managed to fix this by having the ControllerPartSensor parented to the HumanoidRoot and using the OnRead SensorMode if anyone gets stumped on what to do. It just didn’t play nice with custom sensors.

any reason why accessing properties of an instance with extra bytes after the property name was removed? it was probably an unintended feature bug is my best guess. anyways, RIP to a really cool way of defending against getnamecallmethod()
also finally some syntax highlighting for types lol

You can read about the removal here: Indexing to a function, signal or property with the C __index metamethod of Instances breaks on long strings unless it is in camelCase - #14 by WheretIB

No specific schedule I expect–I would stop relying on this whenever you are able to.

Yeah I noticed that too, really obvious. I’m not against it or anything, just seems strange it wasn’t listed in the changes.

Why get rid of it? There’s really no good reason, and honestly, the decision just feels completely unnecessary.

It’s not necessarily smooth scrolling fundamentally being an issue, but rather the current implementation of smooth scrolling in ScrollingFrames is not tuned very well for tooling use cases which show a lot of dense text like the Explorer, it’s tuned more for stuff like in-experience user interfaces.
The conservative choice is to give the new Explorer the exact same scrolling the previous Explorer had for now to avoid disruption when we release it. In the meantime we can figure out a broader solution for the scroll behavior in Studio as a whole.

This has been a very, very long time coming. I’m incredibly happy to see that a WebSocketService is on the radar in the future; you can use WebSockets for all sorts of things.
For those unaware, a few things that Web Sockets enable:
- link Twitch events, like subscriptions and bits, to streamer gameplay
- connect events in your game to IFTTT, so you can get notified when an extremely rare event happens
- For the rare coder using Guilded: Now you can actually receive replies to your bot messages!
- Interact with anything built in Python, even self-hosted
- … And a lot more, these are just off the top of my head!

Wouldn’t we need proper alpha map support for that, though? TGAs are still unrecognized by Studio. Honestly, it feels redundant, as you could already use the alpha map as a tint mask if you set it to “Overlay”, unless this does something different to what I’m thinking.
