Release Notes for 711

[naahchos]

Here are the release notes for 711: https://create.roblox.com/docs/release-notes/release-notes-711

For those of you who grew up with 7-Eleven convenience stores, what’s the consensus on Slurpees? I always loved the cherry coke and I preferred them slightly over ICEEs.

HELLO???

[Tavikron (Octav)]

Yes. Blurry UIStroke.

[hahaboomman1234]

After several updates in the past few months that have hampered exploit detection tools this might be the biggest game security w in recent memory assuming this is HWID ban functionality.

[Sayersooth (Kyle)]

one day… in a galaxy far far away… there is UIBlur

[Sctrx]

When UIShadow dropping !!!

[patopro77]

Can we have C syntax next please thanks

Edit: Will this have performance boosts?, if not, its useless

[IraLuminis (Ira)]

Did someone say 711?

[jackWorhee (JackHarkWorhee)]

I’m happy with these.

[TenebrisNoctua (Noctua)]

Still doesn’t work even with FFlags enabled. Probably will in the next version or two.

[TenebrisNoctua (Noctua)]

The const keyword has been added as a dependency to the export values RFC. I doubt it will have significant performance boosts, but it hasn’t been implemented yet, so we will see.

[patopro77]

i hope so, i use a lot of constant variables

[nevergiveyourid]

Hi Roblox staff! Can you please tell me when this update will be released?

	["Feature.BiometricChallenge.Action.Cancel"] = "Cancel";
	["Feature.BiometricChallenge.Action.Continue"] = "Continue";
	["Feature.BiometricChallenge.Content.LivenessHostedPrompt"] = "Open your external browser and take a quick selfie to confirm you're human.";
	["Feature.BiometricChallenge.Content.Loading"] = "Loading...";
	["Feature.BiometricChallenge.Title.ConfirmHuman"] = "Confirm you're human";

This RFC had 15 dislikes, by the way.

For context, the only reason the team added this was because they have plans for a static export system that treats exported values as JavaScript-const with all around terrible mechanics (there’s this aliased export syntax that breaks exclusive mutability rules) and to fix it they monkey-patched const in.

I believe there is little purpose for const in Luau because the compiler can already figure out which variables are constant, and accidently reassigning constants just doesn’t happen. If you look into how JavaScript added const you will see some truly bizarre stuff (look up Temporal Dead Zones) and my fear is the same wacky stuff is going to be brought to Luau because of this.

what is sqrt2?‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎
OHHHH they mean root 2, 1.414 im stupid i thought it was a function

[EenatAlt (4What)]

and changing the CornerRadius separately for each corner

[SMBri (SMBriTheNuke)]

We are finally getting UIShadows
This is a pretty good release


If this is what i think it is then this will be great for pixelated vfx

By the way did anyone else get logged out randomly for like 20 seconds?

“Introduces new const keyword for declaring local variables.”
