Rojo Changelog
Unreleased Changes
Added --verbose/-v flag, which can be specified multiple times to increase verbosity
Added support for automatically finding Roblox Studio's auth cookie for rojo upload on Windows
Improved diagnostics for when the Rojo plugin cannot create an instance.
0.5.0 (August 27, 2019)
Changed .model.json naming, which may require projects to migrate ambiguous cases:
The file name now takes precedence over the Name field in the model, like Rojo 0.4.x.
The Name field of the top-level instance is now optional. It's recommended that you remove it from your models.
Rojo will emit a warning when Name is specified and does not match the name from the file.
Fixed Rect values being set to 0, 0, 0, 0 when synced with the Rojo plugin. (#201 )
Fixed live-syncing of PhysicalProperties, NumberSequence, and ColorSequence values
Bumped minimum Rust version to 1.34.0.
Fixed default port documentation in rojo serve --help (#219 )
Fixed BrickColor support by upgrading Roblox-related dependencies
Added .meta.json files
init.meta.json files replace init.model.json files from Rojo 0.4.x (#183 )Other .meta.json files allow attaching extra data to other files (#189 )
Added support for infinite and NaN values in types like Vector2 when building models and places.
These types aren't supported for live-syncing yet due to limitations around JSON encoding.
Added support for using SharedString values when building XML models and places.
Added support for live-syncing CollectionService tags.
Added a warning when building binary place files, since they're still experimental and have bugs.
Added a warning when trying to use Rojo 0.5.x with a Rojo 0.4.x-only project.
Added a warning when a Rojo project contains keys that start with $, which are reserved names. (#191 )
Rojo now throws an error if unknown keys are found most files.
Added an icon to the plugin's toolbar button
Changed the plugin to use a docking widget for all UI.
Changed the plugin to ignore unknown properties when live-syncing.
Rojo's approach to this problem might change later, like with a strict model mode (#190 ) or another approach.
Upgraded to reflection database from client release 388.
Updated Rojo's branding to shift the color palette to make it work better on dark backgrounds
Added support for implicit property values in JSON model files (#154 )
Content propertyes can now be specified in projects and model files as regular string literals.Added support for BrickColor properties.
Added support for properties added in client release 384, like Lighting.Technology being set to "ShadowMap".
Improved performance when working with XML models and places
Fixed serializing empty Content properties as XML
Fixed serializing infinite and NaN floating point properties in XML
Improved compatibility with XML models
Plugin should now be able to live-sync more properties, and ignore ones it can't, like Lighting.Technology.
0.5.0 Alpha 10
This release was a dud due to issue #176 and was rolled back.
Changed rojo build to use buffered I/O, which can make it up to 2x faster in some cases.
Building Road Not Taken rbxlx file dropped from 150ms to 70ms on my machine
Fixed LocalizationTable instances being made from csv files incorrectly interpreting empty rows and columns. (#149 )
Fixed CSV files with entries that parse as numbers causing Rojo to panic. (#152 )
Improved error messages when malformed CSV files are found in a Rojo project.
Added support for a bunch of new types when dealing with XML model/place files:
ColorSequenceFloat64Int64NumberRangeNumberSequencePhysicalPropertiesRayRectRef
Improved server instance ordering behavior when files are added during a live session (#135 )
Fixed error being thrown when trying to unload the Rojo plugin.
Added partial fix for issue #141 for Lighting.Technology, which should restore live sync functionality for the default project file.
Fixed rojo init giving unexpected results by upgrading to rbx_dom_weak 1.1.0
Fixed live server not responding when the Rojo plugin is connected (#133 )
Updated default place file:
Improved default properties to be closer to Studio's built-in 'Baseplate' template
Added a baseplate to the project file (Thanks, @AmaranthineCodices !)
Added more type support to Rojo plugin
Fixed some cases where the Rojo plugin would leave around objects that it knows should be deleted
Updated plugin to correctly listen to Plugin.Unloading when installing or uninstalling new plugins
Upgraded core dependencies, which improves compatibility for lots of instance types
Upgraded from rbx_tree 0.2.0 to rbx_dom_weak 1.0.0
Upgraded from rbx_xml 0.2.0 to rbx_xml 0.4.0
Upgraded from rbx_binary 0.2.0 to rbx_binary 0.4.0
Added support for non-primitive types in the Rojo plugin.
Types like Color3 and CFrame can now be updated live!
Fixed plugin assets flashing in on first load (#121 )
Changed Rojo's HTTP server from Rouille to Hyper, which reduced the release size by around a megabyte.
Added property type inference to projects, which makes specifying services a lot easier (#130 )
Made error messages from invalid and missing files more user-friendly
Added support for nested partitions (#102 )
Added support for 'transmuting' partitions (#112 )
Added support for aliasing filesystem paths (#105 )
Changed Windows builds to statically link the CRT (#89 )
Changed default project file name from roblox-project.json to default.project.json (#120 )
The old file name will still be supported until 0.5.0 is fully released.
Added warning when loading project files that don't end in .project.json
This new extension enables Rojo to distinguish project files from random JSON files, which is necessary to support nested projects.
Added new (empty) diagnostic page served from the server
Added better error messages for when a file is missing that's referenced by a Rojo project
Added support for visualization endpoints returning GraphViz source when Dot is not available
Fixed an in-memory filesystem regression introduced recently (#119 )
Added support for .model.json files, compatible with 0.4.x
Fixed in-memory filesystem not handling out-of-order filesystem change events
Fixed long-polling error caused by a promise mixup (#110 )
Changed plugin UI to be way prettier
Changed plugin error messages to be a little more useful
Removed unused 'Config' button in plugin UI
Fixed bug where bad server responses could cause the plugin to be in a bad state
Upgraded to rbx_tree, rbx_xml, and rbx_binary 0.2.0, which dramatically expands the kinds of properties that Rojo can handle, especially in XML.
"Epiphany" rewrite, in progress since the beginning of time
New live sync protocol
Uses HTTP long polling to reduce request count and improve responsiveness
New project format
Hierarchical, preventing overlapping partitions
Added rojo build command
Generates rbxm, rbxmx, rbxl, or rbxlx files out of your project
Usage: rojo build <PROJECT> --output <OUTPUT>.rbxm

Generates and uploads a place or model to roblox.com out of your project
Usage: rojo upload <PROJECT> --cookie "<ROBLOSECURITY>" --asset_id <PLACE_ID>
New plugin
Only one button now, "Connect"
New UI to pick server address and port
Better error reporting
Added support for .csv files turning into LocalizationTable instances

/visualize/rbx and /visualize/imfs show instance and file state respectively; they require GraphViz to be installed on your machine.
Added optional place ID restrictions to project files
This helps prevent syncing in content to the wrong place
Multiple places can be specified, like when building a multi-place game
Added support for specifying properties on services in project files
0.4.13 (November 12, 2018)
When rojo.json points to a file or directory that does not exist, Rojo now issues a warning instead of throwing an error and exiting
0.4.12 (June 21, 2018)
Fixed obscure assertion failure when renaming or deleting files (#78 )
Added a PluginAction for the sync in command, which should help with some automation scripts (#80 )
0.4.11 (June 10, 2018)
Defensively insert existing instances into RouteMap; should fix most duplication cases when syncing into existing trees.
Fixed incorrect synchronization from Plugin:_pull that would cause polling to create issues
Fixed incorrect file routes being assigned to init.lua and init.model.json files
Untangled route handling-internals slightly
0.4.10 (June 2, 2018)
Added support for init.model.json files, which enable versioning Tool instances (among other things) with Rojo. (#66 )
Fixed obscure error when syncing into an invalid service.
Fixed multiple sync processes occurring when a server ID mismatch is detected.
0.4.9 (May 26, 2018)
Fixed warning when renaming or removing files that would sometimes corrupt the instance cache (#72 )
JSON models are no longer as strict -- Children and Properties are now optional.
0.4.8 (May 26, 2018)
Hotfix to prevent errors from being thrown when objects managed by Rojo are deleted
0.4.7 (May 25, 2018)
Added icons to the Rojo plugin, made by @Vorlias ! (#70 )
Server will now issue a warning if no partitions are specified in rojo serve (#40 )
0.4.6 (May 21, 2018)
Rojo handles being restarted by Roblox Studio more gracefully (#67 )
Folders should no longer get collapsed when syncing occurs.
Significant robustness improvements with regards to caching.
This should catch all existing script duplication bugs. If there are any bugs with script duplication or caching in the future, restarting the Rojo server process will fix them for that session.
Fixed message in plugin not being prefixed with Rojo:.
0.4.5 (May 1, 2018)
Rojo messages are now prefixed with Rojo: to make them stand out in the output more.
Fixed server to notice file changes much more quickly. (200ms vs 1000ms)
Server now lists name of project when starting up.
Rojo now throws an error if no project file is found. (#63 )
Fixed multiple sync operations occuring at the same time. (#61 )
Partitions targeting files directly now work as expected. (#57 )
0.4.4 (April 7, 2018)
Fix small regression introduced in 0.4.3
0.4.3 (April 7, 2018)
Plugin now automatically selects HttpService if it determines that HTTP isn't enabled (#58 )
Plugin now has much more robust handling and will wipe all state when the server changes.
This should fix issues that would otherwise be solved by restarting Roblox Studio.
0.4.2 (April 4, 2018)
Fixed final case of duplicated instance insertion, caused by reconciled instances not being inserted into RouteMap.
The reconciler is still not a perfect solution, especially if script instances get moved around without being destroyed. I don't think this can be fixed before a big refactor.
0.4.1 (April 1, 2018)
Merged plugin repository into main Rojo repository for easier tracking.
Improved RouteMap object tracking; this should fix some cases of duplicated instances being synced into the tree.
0.4.0 (March 27, 2018)
Protocol version 1, which shifts more responsibility onto the server
This is a major breaking change!
The server now has a content of 'filter plugins', which transform data at various stages in the pipeline
The server now exposes Roblox instance objects instead of file contents, which lines up with how rojo pack will work, and paves the way for more robust syncing.
Added *.model.json files, which let you embed small Roblox objects into your Rojo tree.
Improved error messages in some cases (#46 )
0.3.2 (December 20, 2017)
Fixed rojo serve failing to correctly construct an absolute root path when passed as an argument
Fixed intense CPU usage when running rojo serve
0.3.1 (December 14, 2017)
Improved error reporting when invalid JSON is found in a rojo.json project
These messages are passed on from Serde
0.3.0 (December 12, 2017)
Factored out the plugin into a separate repository
Fixed server when using a file as a partition
Previously, trailing slashes were put on the end of a partition even if the read request was an empty string. This broke file reading on Windows when a partition pointed to a file instead of a directory!
Started running automatic tests on Travis CI (#9 )
0.2.3 (December 4, 2017)
Plugin only release
Tightened init file rules to only match script files
Previously, Rojo would sometimes pick up the wrong file when syncing
0.2.2 (December 1, 2017)
Plugin only release
Fixed broken reconciliation behavior with init files
0.2.1 (December 1, 2017)
Plugin only release
Changes default port to 8000
0.2.0 (December 1, 2017)
Support for init.lua like rbxfs and rbxpacker
More robust syncing with a new reconciler
0.1.0 (November 29, 2017)
Initial release, functionally very similar to rbxfs
