Release Notes for 710

Hi everyone, here are the release notes for 710! We had brownies for dessert today at the Roblox HQ and I may or may not have eaten 3.

Wishing you all a great week filled with chocolatey goodness :chocolate_bar:

Do you have any pictures of the brownies? It is a very nice thing to share.

In Luau’s New Type Solver, allows intersection types that extend the shape of a given Roblox API type. For example, Accessory & { Handle: BasePart } is now treated as an Accessory extending with a Handle property of the type BasePart.

Now we won’t have to define extra variables in our --!strict LuaSourceContainers.

I don’t know if my time perception is wrong but I have been noticing nice things for decals and textures, I hope we get to see other cool things, such as brightness.

You can decrease brightness on a decal by either making it more transparent or bringing its RGB values closer to 0, and you can increase brightness by making its RGB values greater than (1,1,1)

Will this also work for the “magic” types of Instance members, such as Parent or FindFirstChild, or does this only serve to fix needing to intersect Roblox types as the second component (e.g. {foo: Instance} & Instance)?

What exactly is considered a “shared” asset here? Does this mean we could e.g. apply texture changes to player avatar meshes at runtime now for ability effects and the like?

This is also really interesting. I’m looking forward to see what this opens up. It’d be really useful if you could mix two Decals with different Color3, and the final result would respect their individual tints
