Release Notes for 708

Hi everyone, 708 is out the door. This coming week is pretty exciting! We’ve got Valentine’s Day in many countries worldwide on February 14, George Washington’s birthday here in the U.S. on Monday, and the Lunar New Year—year of the horse!—on February 17. Wherever you are, I hope you can find something to celebrate.

It’s typically like this, most things are pending when a Release NotesTM first drops

require("@rbx/FooBar") is a new form of distribution mechanism that we haven’t done before in the engine of having things that you could call engine APIs, but second layer ones that are implemented in Luau rather than C++.

Yes, LoadLibrary, I know. Don’t @ me.

Wait doppler effect directly implies speed of sound, are we getting a finite speed of sound?

Interesting, so that’s what it was about. Is it also context dependant? Because on the server AvatarAbilities seem to fail on download. Maybe it’s a flag or an endpoint issue, so don’t burn me for that.

There is no debate
That seven-o’-eight
Comes with a sigh of relief

A moment of silence
To the unfortunate guidance
Of those whom blasted their feet

But even today
In times disarray
We shall not forget to repeat

The great UICorner
With rounding and border
Still lacking each corner to tweak
