v1.0.0 - Simulation Engine Release - 15 Dec 2023

After 4 years of Alpha and Beta stages, the project is stable and performant enough to finally be released as version 1.0 and with that, we decided to give it a new name:

brs-engine - BrightScript Simulation Engine

The term simulation engine was chosen instead of the former emulator to better represent the nature and purpose of the project, as there is no intention to fully emulate a Roku device (OS and Hardware), but rather simulate the behavior, as a development tool and as an engine/framework to run BrightScript apps in different platforms.

In this release the new CLI was introduced, still with some limitations (e.g. no OffScreenCanvas support), but allowing basic BrightScript code to be executed, either via REPL or files. It also performs the encryption of a .zip file into a .bpk package to protect the source code.
