## Current Master (0.4.0)
* Began protocol version 1, which shifts more responsibility onto the server
* Protocol version 1, which shifts more responsibility onto the server
* This is a **major breaking** change!
* The server now has a content of 'filter plugins', which transform data at various stages in the pipeline
* The server now exposes Roblox instance objects instead of file contents, which lines up with how `rojo pack` will work, and paves the way for more robust syncing.

* Work on scripts from the filesystem, in your favorite editor
* Version your place, library, or plugin using Git or another VCS
* Sync JSON-format models from the filesystem into your game
Soon, Rojo will be able to:
Later this year, Rojo will be able to:
* Sync Roblox objects (including models) bi-directionally between the filesystem and Roblox Studio
* Sync rbxmx-format Roblox models bi-directionally between the filesystem and Roblox Studio
* Create installation scripts for libraries to be used in standalone places
* Similar to [rbxpacker](https://github.com/LPGhatguy/rbxpacker), another one of my projects
* Add strongly-versioned dependencies to your project
