7.0.0 Alpha 1

This is the first prerelease that includes a massive body of work getting Rojo's DOM implementation upgraded. This means that we should now have 100% format coverage for both the XML and binary model formats.

Rojo 7.0.0 Alpha 1 includes some minor breaking changes to the way the Rojo project format represents certain kinds of values. It's going to change a bit more before Rojo 7 is stable — we're hoping to use this opportunity to normalize some of the case inconsistency introduced in Rojo 0.5.

Upgrading

To install the Roblox Studio plugin, there are three options:

• Run rojo plugin install from the Rojo CLI
• Download the attached Rojo.rbxm and place it into you Roblox Studio plugins folder
• Install from the Roblox plugin page

There are also multiple to install the Rojo CLI.

With Foreman

Add a line to the [tools] section in foreman.toml:

rojo = { source = "rojo-rbx/rojo", version = "7.0.0-alpha.1" }

From GitHub Release

Download one of the attached binaries on this release page!

From the VS Code Extension

Rojo 7 cannot be installed through the VS Code extension quite yet.

From Crates.io

You can use Cargo (1.43.1+) to build the release yourself from crates.io:

cargo install rojo --version 7.0.0-alpha.1

Changes Since 6.0.2

• Added support for all remaining property types.
• Added support for the entire Roblox binary model format.
• Changed rojo upload to upload binary places and models instead of XML.
  • This should make using rojo upload much more feasible for large places.
• Breaking: Changed format of some types of values in project.json, model.json, and meta.json files.
  • This should impact few projects. See this file for new examples of each property type.
