General Improvements
- Animation Controller improvements:
- Added the following chips into Beta: Animation Get Time Stamp, Animation Set Time Stamp, Animation Get Frame
- 'Animation Set Frame' now generates the correct amount of network heat, and no longer scales its frame index with the animation speed.
- Added a speed configure field.
- Added confirm delete dialogs for frames and object connections.
- Added 'Rec Room Object Reset' support to stop the animation and reset it to the first frame.
- Increased frame cap from 49 to 100.
- Reduced the ink to match the Animation Gizmo V1
- New beta chip: "Request Velocity Set Over Duration". This is equivalent to "Velocity Set", except it will continuously apply the velocity until either the input duration elapses, the authority of the input object changes, or another impulse is applied from a different CV2 chip (whichever is soonest)
- Added the new "Collision Detection Volume" component into beta! This is similar to the trigger volume, but works better for detecting at fast speeds and getting more data when hitting players or objects. This component is what is used in Make it to Midnight to detect Bonky's hammer hitting players, and we expect players will be able to pair this with the Swing Handle to make great custom melee weapons!
- Added a new beta spawnable tool Dialogue UI, which is a floating text box with some optional labels, an optional directional affordance, and up to four buttons.
- Beta update: Removed Throw Handle from Spawner components
- Editing curve and ribbon control points improved
- New to Beta: Swing Handle Component
- Tweaked support for emojis and extended Unicode in chat

Rec Room Studio
- Studio Functions provide a new way to author custom chips that interact with your Rec Room Studio prefabs.
