  • Can now include Knit as a Git submodule and reference the default rojo project to sync in (see below)
  • Added unit tests for Knit-specific utility modules
  • Added simple integration tests
  • TableUtil fixes, additions, and improvements:
    • [BR] All functions (except FastRemove and FastRemoveFirstValue) no longer mutate table
    • Fix Filter bug introduced in v0.0.15-alpha
    • Fix behavior of Extend to extend arrays and not dictionaries (use Assign to extend a dictionary)
    • Add optional RNG override parameter for Shuffle

    • Add documentation page for TableUtil
  • Simplify Knit.OnStart() internally to use Promise.FromEvent

0.0.15-alpha​

  • Memory leak fixed with Streamable when instance was immediately available
  • Knit.GetService(serviceName) added to server-side Knit
  • Minor improvements to TableUtil
  • Util documentation split across multiple pages

0.0.14-alpha​

  • Fix Signal leak when firing with no connections
  • Change ._instance to .Instance in Component
  • Components will use attributes to store unique ID instead of StringValue
  • Add Signal.Proxy constructor to wrap built-in RBXScriptSignals

Note breaking changes from above:

  • When upgrading, make sure to change ._instance field accessors to .Instance for components
  • ServerID StringValue for components has been switched to use attributes: instance:GetAttribute("ComponentServerId")

0.0.13-alpha​

  • Component:WaitFor has been rewritten to utilize built-in promise features better, which also eliminated an existing event connection leak.
  • Streamable and StreamableUtil modules added to easily manage parts that may stream in & out during runtime when using StreamingEnabled.
  • Documentation improvements.

0.0.12-alpha​

  • Added new 'Add' functions to automatically load all modules in a folder. This is useful for quickly loading a bunch of service or controller modules:
    • KnitServer.AddServices(folder: Instance)
    • KnitServer.AddServicesDeep(folder: Instance)
    • KnitClient.AddControllers(folder: Instance)
    • KnitClient.AddControllersDeep(folder: Instance)

  • Documentation fixes and additions
  • Better table support for RemoteProperty class
