Adds Workspace.RenderingCacheOptimizations property.

Introduces selection mode support for UIDragDetector.

Changes EditableMesh to inherit from Object and live outside the DataModel.

Adds caching between identical Sky faces in ViewportFrame.

Optimizes Instance:FindFirstChildWhichIsA() 20x for parent instances with many children. Optimizes Object:IsA() 30%.

Changes first argument of AssetService:CreateEditableImageAsync() and AssetService:CreateEditableMeshAsync() to Content.

PluginGui:GetRelativeMousePosition() now returns accurate values during a drag-and-drop operation, allowing you to implement responsive drop UX.

Anchored characters with Humanoid.BreakJointsOnDeath turned off on their Humanoid now replicate the Dead state.

Makes BlurEffect apply with consistent intensity across different screen resolutions.

Fixes an audible "click" when creating and immediately using AudioEmitters or AudioListeners.

Fixes a crash in the "New Luau type solver" beta when type checking code that does not successfully parse, for example while the user is midway through typing a valid code block.

Improves error messaging and type checking for require-by-string.

Fixes a bug in the "New Luau type solver" beta where string.format() calls without any arguments would not raise an error in strict mode.

Fixes issue with Scriptable camera being overwritten by menu settings.

"Paste Into" will always parent the inserted instances under exactly the specified parent, rather than applying special parenting rules such as putting Atmosphere under Lighting.

Fixes API dump handling of classes deriving from Object; they will now show up as Category: Class as intended.
