ButtonBar gives developers an easy way to display a row of buttons in their channel. ButtonBar is a scene level component, so it can be displayed with any view in a channel, saving developers the work of managing it on a per-view basis. When combined with multiple screen stacks, ButtonBar enables powerful new UX paradigms in SGDEX.
SlideshowView allows developers to present a collection of images to the user.
- The ComponentController now supports multiple screen stacks
- RAFHandlers now support Client Side Ad Stitching
- DetailsView can now display rating data as an image rather than text
- GridView has a new field nextPageLoadingThreshold that allows developers to control when the next page of data is loaded

MediaView replaces VideoView and adds support for audio content. MediaView is backward compatible with VideoView and will work with existing SGDEX channels with minimal integration work required. VideoView is now deprecated and will not be maintained in future versions of SGDEX.
- When preloading and endcards are enabled in playlist mode, SGDEX will now preload the last item in the playlist while its endcard is visible
- Fixed an issue where an empty endcard was sometimes displayed unexpectedly
- Fixed an issue where the next video in a playlist sometimes did not preload while the endcard was visible
- Fixed an issue where RAF ads were sometimes played at the wrong time if preloading was turned on
SearchView gives developers an easy way to add in-channel search functionality to their channels. Search results are displayed in a standard grid so that navigation is familiar to users. SearchView supports all the same ContentHandlers and data loading models as SGDEX's GridView.
TimeGridView gives developers an easy way to display time based data. Just like other views, SGDEX handles the content management for you so that the view remains performant and responsive even when used with large data sets.
ParagraphView combines the functionality of the legacy roParagraphScreen and roCodeRegistrationScreen. Use it to display short bits of text or codes for rendezvous linking.
- SGDEX now supports deep linking via roInput. This makes it easier for developers to meet the latest channel certification requirements for deep linking
- All views now support theming of the busy spinner displayed while the view's content is loading
- EntitlementView now supports username/password style authentication
- VideoView now supports theming the BIF focus ring
- GridView now supports mixed aspect ratio posters
- GridView now supports hiding the BoB (the metadata area above the grid posters). When the BoB is hidden, the grid automatically moves upward so that more posters are visible to the user
- GridView now supports adding a colored background when text is overlaid on posters
- GridView now supports setting focus to an empty row
- Fixed an issue in VideoView that could cause erroneous RAF related error messages in the static analysis tool
- Fixed an issue in VideoView that could prevent post-roll ads from playing
- Fixed an issue in VideoView where setting the content field to invalid could cause a crash
- Fixed an issue in VideoView where an unexpected blank endcard could be displayed in single-video mode

- Fixed a theme issue where changing the value of OverhangShowOptions could unexpectedly change the height of the overhang
- To help minimize the amount of time buffer screens are visible, the VideoView has a new preloadContent field that enables preflight execution of ContentHandlers and prebuffering of content both before the view is displayed and while endcards are visible.
- The GridView has been updated to use ZoomRowList instead of RowList to improve performance of the component in most scenarios. This change is transparent to developers, it does not change the existing GridView interfaces.
- The GridView has a new "zoom" style that leverages ZoomRowList to enable a zoom effect when scrolling between rows.
- The DetailsView has a new itemLoaded field that can be observed to find out when the content of the view has changed.
- The Roku Billing / SVOD sample has been updated to work with the latest firmware.
- The videos used in the sample channels have been updated to fix some broken stream URLs.
- Fixed an issue in some samples where the video HUD would not appear as expected.
- Initial release.
