lvcabral/brs-engine v1.8.7

v1.8.7 - New InStr() 2 params signature

on GitHub

This release brings a few discoveries from the discussions in the Roku Development Community slack, including the undocumented signature for InStr() function with only 2 parameters, the roTimespan.totalMicroseconds() method and the Type() function returning "legacy" types (unless you pass version 3 parameter). Some important fixes to highlight are the support for boxed values as array indexes and having roBoolean to be properly comparable.
