Release Notes for 714

Happy Thursday! I’m here with the release notes for 714.

My dog turned 5 years old over the weekend and his muzzle is starting to turn a bit grey. I told him he’s not allowed to keep getting older and that he has to live forever. If you have a pet, give them a hug and kiss for me. :dog_face:

Hope y’all have a great rest of the week!

Our dog Ogi had his 14th birthday recently. He sleeps more often and you have to speak a bit louder for him but he still has the same spring in his step when he tells us that it’s time to play. :slight_smile:

One of the first weeks in a long time that a binary for Studio has been released at the exact same time as the release notes.

What does this mean?

Is ExcludeInstances different than FilterDescendantsInstances??

Significantly improves performance for large filter lists that use ExcludeInstances or IgnoreInstances, with up to 10x faster performance than FilterDescendantsInstances when using 10,000 instances in ExcludeInstances.

I wonder if this means actually making the filter list used in the raycasting process/so its fully ignored, or just speedups with the internal read/alloc process

I see that admins have much fun :smiley:

Not a single thing in these Release Notes are live. It’s more like “Pending Notes,” if anything.

I was wondering the same thing? - Maybe there’s intention to allow us to define our filter lists without enforcing descendants as well. Hopefully we can then do something like this.

FilterDescendantsInstances + FilterType is being superseded by IncludeInstances / ExcludeInstances soon. Better ergonomics for the common case and you can specify include / excludes at the same time that way.

glanced at this reply and read “binary for studio” and got scrollframerotation flashbacks (those who know)


Remember when these were on release notes 711?

All of them are in the engine and the Studio application. The flags just have not been enabled yet.

it is

Yeah and the new const keyword some people were excited about actually seems to be already functional but just without syntax highlighting and a proper error message for reassignment attempt
