v0.5.0

This release introduces creating instances from scratch and interacting with model and places on Roblox.com!

Changes since 0.4.0

• Added Instance.new for creating instances.
• Added Instance:Destroy() for destroying instances instead of just parenting them to nil.
  • Unlike Roblox, no properties can be accessed on a destroyed instance or else Remodel will throw an error. Be careful!
• Added APIs for interacting with models and places on Roblox.com:
  • remodel.readModelAsset
  • remodel.readPlaceAsset
  • remodel.writeExistingModelAsset
  • remodel.writeExistingPlaceAsset
  • These APIs will pull your .ROBLOSECURITY cookie from Roblox Studio if you're on Windows, or you can pass a cookie explicitly using --auth [cookie]

v0.4.0

This release should open up use-cases like merging folders of models into a place file automatically.

This is also the first release with binaries generated via GitHub actions, hopefully.

Changes since 0.3.0

• Added remodel.readDir for enumerating directories.
• Added early support for rbxm models in remodel.readModelFile and remodel.writeModelFile.
  • When an rbxm model is written or read, a warning will be printed to the console.

v0.3.0

This release makes Remodel work more like you'd expect it to!

Changes since 0.2.0

• Added remodel.writeFile and remodel.readFile for handling regular files.
• Added support for == on instances.
• Added support for reading and writing Parent on instances.
• Added script file name in error stack traces.

v0.2.0: Polish

This is a breaking change that iterates on Remodel's API a little bit and improves some ergonomics a bit.

Changes since 0.1.0

• Improved CLI documentation. Try remodel --help!
• Added support for extra arguments. They're passed into the script as ....
• Added support for reading from stdin. Use - as the input file!
  • echo "print('Hi')" | remodel -
• Breaking: split remodel.load into remodel.readPlaceFile and remodel.readModelFile.
  • readPlaceFile can only read rbxlx files, and returns a DataModel instance.
  • readModelFile can only read rbxmx files, and returns a list of instances.
• Breaking:: split remodel.save into remodel.writePlaceFile and remodel.writeModelFile.
  • writePlaceFile can only write rbxlx files.
  • writeModelFile can only write rbxmx files.
  • This split helps Remodel avoid funny tricks to detect what encoding scheme to use.

v0.1.0: Initial release

This is the first release of Remodel, a tool for manipulating Roblox things programmatically.

• Basic API for loading and saving places, as well as creating directories
• Single-command CLI that runs a Lua 5.3 script with Remodel APIs
