I see documentation for SDK 4.8, but the link to “Download SDK” on https://owner.roku.com/Developer is to SDK4.1. Where can I download the latest (4.8? 4.9?) SDK?
The latest SDK example files can be found here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/rokusdkexamples/files/?source=navbar
The latest SDK docs are here:

Thank you for the fast response! I take it the examples are the only things that were updated? sorry, I’m just starting out and wanted to make sure I had the right stuff. Thanks again
Yes. The PDF’ documents are not likely to be updated from this point forward now that everything is online.

The pdf files were nice as they could be read offline - now they will just be outdated if you’re working in the car or something.

..if you’re working in the car…Is that something that a lot of Roku developers are doing these days? I’ve heard that standing and treadmill desks are all the rage, but it seems like coding in a vehicle wouldn’t work really well in a lot of cases. :mrgreen:
I like that the wiki’s linkable, so it’s possible to point people to specific parts of it, although I wouldn’t say no to an easily downloadable version, for those times when you’re offline (whether it’s in a car or a cave, or whatever 
). I don’t know if the wiki software Roku uses would support this, but if it could produce a pdf export of each of the spaces from the wiki dashboard, that’d be pretty useful I think. I could always save each page one at a time with the browser, or script up something with curl, but a built-in export feature would be easier.
/edit: Looks like that might be a feature they could enable:

Well, if the internet goes down - which has been known to happen sometimes with internet service, or if you’re on a trip without available internet access, having a pdf or two available would still be useful. Maybe they can enable that feature as you suggest. A lot of times I use the local LAN to code and test roku applications on - with links to my own pc rather than the internet, so I could be working on code a long time without noticing the ISP has gone kaput, and without access to the internet I’d be screwed if I was trying to use a new feature that I needed the online-only wiki to look up. Even if I had to pull up the wiki and create pdfs online for it, I would prefer that to having to save each page of the site manually every time the firmware updates.
4.9 was released in December, but the latest update in the example downloads is from October.
I don’t understand why the online SDK was not updated when there were changes in 4.9, like Smooth Streaming captions.
^ Holidays, small company and staff, and a backlog of channels waiting in line for approval is my guess.
I’m looking at the supplied link of:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/rokusdkexamples/files/?source=navbar
but its dated 2016, where are you seeing the newer example files?
@steveintheukok , you’re replying to a 10 year old thread?!
Roku examples have moved to github: https://github.com/rokudev/samples/
Well that’s embarrassing! I must’ve just caught the 3 at the end of the date year and thought it was 23 not 13. Half laughing, half feeling dumb! Ooops!
