Warning

Worth knowing before you upgrade.
  • 0.17.0P opens the preview when nodes are selected, with no modifier — the same shape as C for a comment.
  • 0.17.0The preview works while a compile has the graph locked.
  • 0.17.0The source map is what a future Studio integration would use to point a runtime error back at a node.
  • 0.17.0Anything already built against the map was reading lines one out.

Added

  • 0.17.0Selection preview. Select some nodes and press P, or use the Preview button that appears on the toolbar when something is selected. It shows the Luau those nodes produced, picked out of the real generated file with a few lines of context either side, syntax highlighted.
  • 0.17.0A Whole file switch in its header swaps between the extract and the complete output.
  • 0.17.0A pure node is handled too. A pure value with one consumer has no line of its own, so the preview names it and highlights the statement its value ends up in.

Changed

  • 0.17.2"Worth knowing before you upgrade" is bulleted, one point per bullet. It was one run-on paragraph, so telling its separate claims apart meant reading the whole thing.
  • 0.17.2A few entries that carried two claims have been split into two.
  • 0.17.1The Luau token colours now apply in every place Luau is shown as text, rather than in the documentation alone. The editor, the docs and the preview were already meant to share one palette.

Fixed

  • 0.17.1The selection preview showed Luau in plain body text. It was running the highlighter and emitting the right classes all along; the colours were scoped to the documentation and applied nowhere else, so keywords, strings, comments and numbers all came out the same colour as everything around them.
  • 0.17.0The compiler's line-to-node source map was off by one, and always had been. Every entry pointed one line late: the first statement at the line below it, the last node at the blank line ending the file.
