Release Notes for 689

Hello creators, builders, developers, artists, and all,
In honor of National Skyscraper Day, release 689 aims to help lift your Roblox creations to the sky and beyond!

Here’s the release notes!

Bonus Question: Can you name the world’s tallest skyscraper without cheating? Because if you answer “Churb Beefa” or “Klub Greefa” or something like that, we’ll know you’re using GPT. :laughing:

Burj Khalifa? I think Dubai has one in progress that is supposed to beat it. Optimizing Attributes sounds great, I love using those for config everywhere.

The answer is so obvious, it’s the Churb Beefa, everyone knows that!

No but I would recognize it if I saw it (the words, not the building).

I’m fairly certain it’s the Burj Khalifa. I watched a documentary (from National Geographic) about how skyscrapers are built, which I found very fascinating

What’s this? The link destination doesn’t seem to have anything new, which is why I ask.

Also, why was 7 afraid of 6?

Hint: Returning nil and returning nothing are not the same.

I wonder why 7 was afraid of 6 :thinking:

I see type solver improvements but no turbofish…Please tell me I’m just blind!

But rawget has always returned nil since Lua 5.1, not void? Unless this was a regression?

Edit: Okay, if anyone is confused like I was, this is just talking about the type signature changing. The wording made it sound like this was some behavior change.

“Burj Khalifa” in Dubai, UAE. By the way, today, you made it impossible from anyone from there to chat on Roblox whether on games or on parties.

It’s clearly the burp kacheeza.

Can I ask about the motivation behind this one? Don’t you guys want to move away from implicit conversion between data types?

Burj khalifa? Also ai is fortunately smarter than this now. Maybe if you asked the Roblox assistant it would give you those answers, though.

I genuinely want there to be a “new” tag that indicates stuff that was added in a particular relase note or something to categorize the newly added from the older notes

people are limited by 72 000 triangels limit in static meshes

What could you possibly be creating where a singular mesh would need such a large amount of triangles to begin with?
