 ### Changed
 
 - Update to Luau version `0.594`
+- CFrame and Vector3 values are now rounded to the nearest 2 ^ 16 decimal place to reduce floating point errors and diff noise. Note that this does not affect intermediate calculations done in lua, and only happens when a property value is set on an Instance.
