What's new in RokuCommunity: Jan-Apr 2024
Hey everyone,
Welcome to the Combined January-April 2024 edition of “What’s new in RokuCommunity”. Yeah, this one’s a bit late…
We’ve been very busy this year working on all the RokuCommunity projects so it’s been hard keeping up with these writeups. However, we do think they’re important so we’ve finally found some time to start catching up. Expect to see the writeups for May-July 2024 in the coming weeks, and hopefully we’ll be able to get back to a monthly cadence after that.
In order to keep this email to a reasonable size, I’ve limited the list of bullet points in the section below to the higher-priority changes. There are many more great features in each month’s writeup at rokucommunity.github.io that aren’t listed below, so we hope you can find the time to get caught up on them!
