Release 3.0.0

Release date: May 8, 2020

Features

We’ve redesigned the setup and architecture of the Roku SDK for easier configuration and improved performance. Features of this release include:

  • To keep the SDK code separate from the app’s scene code, the Swrve Client now exists in its own Node.
  • Use of SwrveSDK to communicate with the SwrveClient from Render Thread components.
