7.0.0 Release Candidate 1

This is the first release candidate for Rojo 7. We expect this to be the final release before Rojo 7.0 stable.

Changes Since 7.0.0-alpha.4

In Rojo 6 and previous Rojo 7 alphas, an explicit Vector3 property would be written like this:

{
    "className": "Part",
    "properties": {
        "Position": {
            "Type": "Vector3",
            "Value": [1, 2, 3]
        }
    }
}

For Rojo 7, this will need to be changed to:

{
    "className": "Part",
    "properties": {
        "Position": {
            "Vector3": [1, 2, 3]
        }
    }
}

The shorthand property format that most users use is not impacted. For reference, it looks like this:

{
    "className": "Part",
    "properties": {
        "Position": [1, 2, 3]
    }
}

• Major breaking change: changed property syntax for project files; shorthand syntax is unchanged.
• Added the fmt-project subcommand for formatting Rojo project files.
• Improved error output for many subcommands.
• Updated to stable versions of rbx-dom libraries.
• Updated async infrastructure, which should fix a handful of bugs. (#459)
• Fixed syncing refs in the Roblox Studio plugin (#462, #466)
• Added support for long paths on Windows. (#464)
