Live

In the Avatar Previewer, when creating an accessory from a lone mesh part, you will now get a notice if the asset type is one that can't be uploaded to the Marketplace.

Live

Made some adjustments to shorthand property input from developer feedback.

  • Entering hex code colors with a # sign at the start works without throwing an error.
  • Negative values now work correctly for Color3, UDim and UDim2 properties.
  • A color like 234, 1, 1 will treat the ones as 1/255 not 255.
  • Numbers like 2.0 with a decimal point will always be treated as a scale value in UDim properties.
  • The specific value 255 is not treated as a short format hex code because the developer probably intended white instead.
Live

Accessory.AccessoryType is now writable by scripts.

Live

Adds way to set custom configurations of settings in Studio Asset Importer

Pending

Some uses of getfenv/setfenv will be flagged by the script analysis as deprecated. Note that we do not have plans to remove getfenv/setfenv support, and the warning is intended to discourage use in favor of alternatives like debug.info for introspection or require to replace custom module injectors.

Pending

TableOperations lint will now produce script analysis warnings when # operator is used on a table that has no array portion, as it is likely a bug.

Live

Fixed a bug where very large models could not be published without error.
