# Rojo Change Log
## Current Master
*No changes*
* Merged plugin repository into main Rojo repository for easier tracking
* Improved `RouteMap` object tracking; this should fix some cases of duplicated instances being synced into the tree.
## 0.4.0 (March 27, 2018)
* Protocol version 1, which shifts more responsibility onto the server

**Rojo** is a flexible multi-tool designed for creating robust Roblox projects. It's in early development, but is still useful for many projects.
**Rojo** is a flexible multi-tool designed for creating robust Roblox projects.
It's designed for power users who want to use the **best tools available** for building games, libraries, and plugins.
This is the main Rojo repository, containing the Rojo CLI. The Roblox Studio plugin is contained in [the rojo-plugin repository](https://github.com/LPGhatguy/rojo-plugin).
## Features
Rojo has a number of desirable features *right now*:
Rojo lets you:
* Work on scripts from the filesystem, in your favorite editor
* Version your place, library, or plugin using Git or another VCS

Later this year, Rojo will be able to:
* Sync rbxmx-format Roblox models bi-directionally between the filesystem and Roblox Studio
* Sync rbxmx-format Roblox models between the filesystem and Roblox Studio
* Package libraries and plugins into `rbxmx` files from the command line
## Installation
Rojo has two components:
* The command line interface (CLI), written in Rust
* The [Roblox Studio plugin](https://www.roblox.com/library/1211549683/Rojo), written in Lua
To install the command line tool, there are two options:
* The server, a binary written in Rust
* The client, a Roblox Studio plugin written in Lua
To install the server, there are two options:
* Cargo, if you have Rust installed
* Use `cargo install rojo` -- Rojo will be available with the `rojo` command
* Download a pre-built Windows binary from [the GitHub releases page](https://github.com/LPGhatguy/rojo/releases)
## Usage
To install the client, there are two options:
* Install the plugin from the [Roblox page](https://www.roblox.com/library/1211549683/Rojo).
* This gives you less control over what version you install -- you will always have the latest version.
* Download the latest release from [the releases section](https://github.com/LPGhatguy/rojo/releases) and install it into your Roblox plugins folder
* On Windows, this is at `%LocalAppData%\Roblox\Plugins`
## Server Usage
For more help, use `rojo help`.

### Syncing into Roblox
In order to sync code into Roblox, you'll need toadd one or more *partitions* to your configuration. A partition tells Rojo how to map directories on your filesystem to Roblox objects.

Each entry in the `partitions` map has a unique name, a filesystem path, and the full name of the Roblox object to sync into.

## Contributing
Pull requests are welcome!
The `master` branch of both repositories have tests running on Travis for every commit and pull request. The test suite on `master` should always pass!
The Rojo and Rojo Plugin repositories should stay in sync with eachother, so that the current `master` of each repository can be used together.
All pull requests are run against a test suite on Travis CI. That test suite should always pass!
