Roku OS 15.2 Rollout Adds Developer Tools and Performance Boosts

Roku has begun a staged rollout of Roku OS 15.2 to compatible TVs and streaming players. The update focuses on developer-facing improvements—Perfetto-based app tracing with a BrightScript heap graph, the chanperf command for raw CPU stats, new debug protocol variables, and expanded BrightScript APIs for low-memory handling and input control—along with AES-GCM encryption support. End users should see smoother performance, faster app launches, more reliable playback, and better multitasking as the rollout continues over several weeks to a month, with some older devices likely receiving fewer features or updates on a different schedule.
