This week we’re breaking down several recent developer quality of life improvements from the past couple of weeks whilst Roblox are on Thanksgiving break.

We discuss updates including native Community Announcements replacing Guilded, Luau's New Type Solver exiting beta with improved type inference, and Extended Services expansion with DataStore notifications and the open-source Batch Processor. We also explore the new ReflectionService API for programmatic engine inspection, relaxed Verified Badge requirements for contributors, HttpService Observability dashboards, and Studio's flexible UI updates preparing for full release in January.
