v0.5.0 Alpha 1

This is the second alpha (pardon the zero-based indexing) for Rojo 0.5.0!

Installing the 0.5.x Plugin

A new plugin has been uploaded to Roblox in order to let existing users of Rojo continue using 0.4.x.

You can install the plugin from one of two places:

• The new Roblox.com plugin page
• Downloading the attached rbxm file and putting it into your Studio 'plugins' folder

Installing the 0.5.x Server

If you're on Windows, you can download the attached Windows executable, rojo.exe.

If you're not on Windows, or you'd rather install via Cargo, you can do that with:

cargo install rojo --version 0.5.0-alpha.1

If you already have Rojo installed, you'll need to add the --force flag to overwrite your current version.

Migrating Your Project to 0.5.x

There's a brand new set of docs for 0.5.x available that includes basic instructions on how to get started with 0.5.x. As we get closer to release, these docs will be updated and fleshed out.

If you're coming from 0.4.x, check out Migrating from 0.4.x to 0.5.x for a crash course in how to upgrade your project.

Changes Since 0.5.0-alpha.1

• Changed plugin UI to be way prettier
  • Thanks to Reselim for the design!
• 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.
