Tor Norbye310538c2012-01-13 08:56:18 -0800117.0.0:
2* ADT 17 requires Java 6 and Eclipse 3.6.2.
3* Improved Lint UI.
4 * Many new lint checks: See the tools changes.txt for details.
5 * New "Run Lint" toolbar action with a dropdown menu for selecting
6 specific (or all) projects, clearing results, etc.
7 * The results window is now organized as a tree rather than a flat
8 list. Each issue type has a single top level item, which makes it
9 easier to quickly scan through the reported issues and narrow
10 down to issues you are most interested in.
11 * The results window contains many new toolbar actions, including
12 expand/collapse, ignore in file, ignore in project, ignore
13 everywhere, show options, and configure columns.
14 * There are new columns available, such as category, priority,
15 project, file and line. The column selection (as well as the
16 column sizes) are persisted. You can click on columns to sort by
17 that column.
18 * The Lint Options dialog has Enable All and Disable All buttons,
19 and a search filter textbox to filter by issue id, summary and
20 severity.
21* New Quick Outline for XML editors (Ctrl-O, Command-O). This shows
22 the structure of the current file including icons and ids, and lets
23 you filter and quickly jump to specific ids.
24* The resource chooser now shows the resolved value for resources
25 (e.g. when selecting @string/hello it displays that the resolved value
26 is "Hello World"). It also allows editing the chosen value directly.
27* The layout editor no longer assigns default ids to layouts, includes
28 and merge tags. This tended to pollute the namespace with a lot of
29 unused resources since layouts aren't usually manipulated via code,
30 or referenced from XML. (The RelativeLayout editor automatically
31 assigns ids to views without ids when pointing to them.)
Tor Norbye5ae5ceb2012-02-15 12:39:14 -080032* Export Screenshot from the Layout Editor
Tor Norbye310538c2012-01-13 08:56:18 -080033* Layout editor fix for SlidingDrawer which on some platforms could
34 not be dragged into the layout. Also fix preview rendering for
35 SlidingDrawer and TabHost (issue 23022).
36* New default application icons, including an xhdpi version.
37* Important bug fixes:
38 * Fix bug in resource chooser which made some types of framework
39 resources impossible to select (issue 20589)
40 * Fix a bug in the formatter where a certain whitespace pattern
41 could result in a non-space character getting deleted (issue
42 23940)
43 * Fix locale bug affecting Turkish locales in particular (issue
44 23747)
45
Tor Norbyea79073e2011-10-20 18:33:24 -07004616.0.0:
47* New "lint" feature which scans the Android projects for potential
48 problems such as missing translations, duplicate ids between layouts
49 that include each other, using px instead of dp units, hardcoded
50 strings, missing contentDescriptions, obsolete Proguard
51 configuration files, etc. Lint can be run on the command line, but
52 it is also integrated into the Problems view in Eclipse, and there
53 are also quickfixes available for many of the reported errors.
54
5515.0.0
56Critical bug fixes only.
57
5814.0.0
Xavier Ducrohetbabf25c2011-02-14 15:52:12 -080059- Build system:
Tor Norbyef0585b92011-08-19 19:00:45 -070060 - (TODO: More info) Improved library projects
61 - Improved incremental builds
62 - Resource compilation is run much less frequently. It is no
63 longer run when strings are edited, or when layouts are edited
64 (unless a new id is introduced), and it is no longer run once
65 per library project (!)
66 - Resource compilation is no longer done for normal save
67 operations, only when running or debugging (option added in ADT
68 12 now on by default.)
69 - There is a new "PNG crunch cache", which means image crunching
70 is only done once, not once per build which is significant for
71 projects with many resources
72 - Incremental ant builds
Xavier Ducrohetbabf25c2011-02-14 15:52:12 -080073 - ADT now uses bin/classes to output the java compilation
74 and bin/ for Android specific classes. This will make bin show up
75 in the package explorer.
Tor Norbyef0585b92011-08-19 19:00:45 -070076- DDMS
77 - Brand new logcat view. Fixes bugs, displays and filters by
78 application names instead of just pids, fronts when application
79 runs.
80- XML Editing
81 - New XML formatter which formats all XML files according to the
82 standard Android coding style. The formatter can also reorder
83 attributes to follow the recommended order.
84 - Improved "smart indent": automatic indentation and un-indentation
85 when pressing Return in XML editors
86 - Go to Matching (Ctrl-Shift-P) in XML files can now jump between
87 opening and closing tags
88 - Changes made by the layout editor are automatically run through
89 the new XML formatter.
90 - Select Enclosing Element should now work on the Mac as well.
91- Java Editing
92 - Quickfix for extracting Strings when the caret is inside a String
93- Layout Editor
94 - New GridLayout support
95 - Tooltip feedback for resizing and dragging operations. For
96 example, when dragging in a relative layout, the proposed
97 constraints are shown, and when resizing the new dimensions are
98 shown.
99 - New "Remove Container" visual refactoring which removes the
100 children of a container up to the top level and transfers
101 namespace and layout attributes if necessary.
102 - Improved access to properties in the context menu: The most
103 frequently set attributes for each view are listed at the top of
104 the menu, and the properties menu offers access to the most
105 recently set attributes, attributes organized by their defining
106 view, and layout attributes only or all attributes alphabetically.
107 - The context menu now also contains pull-right menus for accessing
108 properties of the parents, which is useful when the children fully
109 cover the parent making it hard to select on its own.
110 - Ability to suppress rendering fidelity warnings.
111- Asset Studio integration: Wizard creation of launcher icons, menu
112 icons, tab icons, etc.
Tor Norbyee92f8162011-09-27 08:59:15 -0700113- New Welcome Wizard to help installing and configuring the SDK
114 platforms.
Tor Norbye4dfe5712011-09-13 14:35:48 -0700115- The New Project and the New XML File wizards have been reworked into
116 multiple pages. Sample Projects are now copied into the workspace
117 such that they can be modified and deleted without affecting the
118 master copy.
119- The dependency on Eclipse GEF was removed.
120- Many bug fixes, and in particular some critical bug fixes on Linux
Xavier Ducrohetbabf25c2011-02-14 15:52:12 -0800121
Tor Norbyef0585b92011-08-19 19:00:45 -070012213.0.0
123- Tools release only (command line tools)
124
12512.0.0 (July 6th, 2011)
Tor Norbye61be14c2011-06-13 13:22:32 -0700126- Many bug fixes!
127- Visual Layout Editor:
128 - New RelativeLayout drop support with guideline suggestions for
129 attachments and cycle prevention.
130 - Resize support in most layouts. In LinearLayout, sizes are mapped
131 to weights. Guideline snapping to wrap_content and match_parent.
132 - Previews of drawables and colors in the resource chooser dialogs.
133 - Improved error messages and links for rendering errors, including
134 detection of misspellings of class names.
135- Build system: Delay post compiler phase until actual export or debug
136 to speed up interactive file saves. (This is off by default but can
137 be enabled in the ADT options panel.)
Xavier Ducrohet69a82902011-06-06 16:45:50 -0700138
Tor Norbyef0585b92011-08-19 19:00:45 -070013911.0.0 (June 6th, 2011)
Tor Norbye3dcfd762011-04-28 18:41:09 -0700140- Visual Refactoring:
141 - The new "Extract Style" refactoring pulls out style constants and
Tor Norbyee1777152011-05-25 15:50:53 -0700142 defines them as style rules instead.
Tor Norbye3dcfd762011-04-28 18:41:09 -0700143 - The new "Wrap in Container" refactoring surrounds the selected
144 views with a new layout, and transfers namespace and layout
145 parameters to the new parent
146 - The new "Change Widget Type" refactoring changes the type of the
147 selected views to a new type. (Also, a new selection context menu
148 in the visual layout editor makes it easy to select siblings as
149 well as views anywhere in the layout that have the same type).
150 - The new "Change Layout" refactoring changes layouts from one type
151 to another, and can also flatten a layout hierarchy.
152 - The "Extract as Include" refactoring now finds identical fragments
153 in other layouts and offers to combine all into a single include.
154 - There is a new Refactoring Quick Assistant which can be invoked
155 from the XML editor (with Ctrl-1) to apply any of the above
156 refactorings (and Extract String) to the current selection.
157- Visual Layout Editor:
158 - Improved "rendering fidelity": The layout preview has been
159 improved and should more closely match the rendering on actual
160 devices.
161 - The visual editor now previews ListViews at designtime. By
162 default, a two-line list item is shown, but with a context menu
163 you can pick any arbitrary layout to be used for the list items,
164 and you can also pick the header and footer layouts.
165 - The palette now supports "configurations" where a single view is
166 presented in various different configurations. For example, there
167 is a whole "Textfields" palette category where the EditText view
168 can be dragged in as a password field, an e-mail field, a phone
169 field, and so on. Similarly, TextViews are offered preconfigured
170 with large, normal and small theme sizes, and LinearLayouts are
171 offered both in horizontal and vertical configurations.
172 - The palette supports custom views, picking up any custom
173 implementations of the View class in your project source folders
174 or in included libraries, and these can be dragged into layouts.
Tor Norbyefb48dde2011-05-19 13:52:31 -0700175 - Fragments support: Fragments are available in the palette, and in
176 the tool you can choose which layout to show rendered for a given
177 fragment tag. Go to declaration works for fragment classes.
Tor Norbye3dcfd762011-04-28 18:41:09 -0700178 - The layout editor automatically applies a "zoom to fit" for newly
179 opened files as well as on device size and orientation changes to
180 ensure that large layouts are always fully visible unless you
181 manually zoom in.
182 - You can drop an "include" tag from the palette, which will pop up
183 a layout chooser, and the chosen layout is added as an include.
184 Similarly, dropping images or image buttons will pop up image
185 resource choosers to initialize the new image with.
186 - The configuration chooser now applies the "Render Target" and
187 "Locale" settings project wide, making it trivial to check the
188 layouts for different languages or render targets without having
189 to configure these individually for each layout.
190 - The layout editor is smarter about picking a default theme to
191 render a layout with, consulting factors like theme registrations
192 in the manifest, the SDK version, etc.
Tor Norbyefb48dde2011-05-19 13:52:31 -0700193 - The layout editor is also smarter about picking a default
194 configuration to render a layout with, defaulting to the currently
195 visible configuration in the previous file. It also considers the
196 SDK target to determine whether to default to a tablet or phone
197 screen size.
198 - Basic focus support: The first text field dropped in a layout is
199 assigned focus, and there are "Request Focus" and "Clear Focus"
200 context menu items on text fields to change the focus.
Tor Norbye3dcfd762011-04-28 18:41:09 -0700201- XML editors:
202 - Code completion has been significantly improved. It now works
203 within <style> elements, it completes dimensional units,
204 it sorts resource paths in values based on the attribute name,
205 etc. There are also many fixes to handle text replacement.
206 - AAPT errors are handled better. They are now underlined for the
207 relevant range in the editor, and a new quickfix makes it trivial
208 to create missing resources.
209 - Code completion for drawable, animation and color XML files.
210- DDMS:
211 - "New Folder" action in the File Explorer
212 - The screenshot dialog will add timestamps to the filenames, and
213 preserve the orientation on snapshot refresh
214- TraceView: Mouse-wheel zoom support in the timeline
215- The New Android Project wizard now supports Eclipse working sets
216- Most of the tools have improved integration with the Mac OSX
217 system menu bar.
218- Most of the tools have new launcher icons.
219
Tor Norbyef0585b92011-08-19 19:00:45 -070022010.0.1 (March, 2011)
Tor Norbye3301b682011-04-05 08:59:12 -0700221- Temporary work-around to resolve the rare cases in which the layout
222 editor will not open.
223- Fix issue in which ADT 10.0.0 would install on Eclipse 3.4 and
224 lower, even though ADT requires Eclipse 3.5 or higher (as of
225 10.0.0).
226
Tor Norbyef0585b92011-08-19 19:00:45 -070022710.0.0 (February 22nd, 2011)
Tor Norbye3301b682011-04-05 08:59:12 -0700228- The tools now automatically generate Java Programming Language
229 source files (in the gen/ directory) and bytecode (in the res/raw/
230 directory) from your .rs files.
231- A Binary XML editor has been added.
232- Traceview is now integrated into the Eclipse UI.
233- The "Go To Declaration" feature for XML and .java files quickly show
234 all the matches in the project and allows you jump to specific items
235 such as string translations or onClick handlers.
236- The Resource Chooser can create items such as dimensions, integers,
237 ids, and booleans.
238- Improvements to the Visual Layout Editor:
239 - A new Palette with categories and rendering previews.
240 - A Layout Actions bar that provides quick access to common layout
241 operations.
242 - When the Android 3.0 rendering library is selected, layouts render
243 more like they do on devices. This includes rendering of status
244 and title bars to more accurately reflect the actual screen space
245 available to applications.
246 - Zoom improvements such as fit to view, persistent scale, and
247 keyboard access..
248 - Further improvements to <merge> layouts, as well as layouts with
249 gesture overlays.
250 - Improved rendering error diagnostics.
251
Tor Norbyef0585b92011-08-19 19:00:45 -07002529.0.0 (January 26, 2011)
Xavier Ducrohet484e7f32010-11-17 15:17:59 -0800253- Visual Layout Editor
Tor Norbye9f321db2011-01-10 19:45:35 -0800254 - Empty layouts with 0,0 size are now automatically expanded when
255 selected and during drag and drop
256 - Rendering target can now be changed from the default (project
257 target)
258 - When choosing resources for rendering, the API level is properly
259 handled
Tor Norbyee14b92a2011-01-10 19:20:45 -0800260 - Improved support for rendering <include> and <merge> views
Tor Norbye9f321db2011-01-10 19:45:35 -0800261 - "Extract as Include" refactoring to extract selected views into
262 a separate included layout.
263 - String and reference properties can be edited from the layout
264 editor's context menu
265 - Rewritten outline drag & drop handling, improved label colors
266 and content
267 - The generated XML will be better formatted. Full XML formatter
268 can be enabled in the preferences (under Android > Editors), but
269 will touch part of the XML that isn't modified.
270 - Automatic configuration of many widgets on drop, such as
271 automatically filling a TextView in a vertical LinearLayout,
272 adding rows to new tables, etc.
273 - Double click views to jump to the corresponding XML declaration,
274 or for included views, to the included layout file
Tor Norbye6f147bd2011-01-17 22:25:54 -0800275 - Improved support for various views (such as TabHosts and
276 SlidingDrawers) when rendered using Honeycomb
Tor Norbye9f321db2011-01-10 19:45:35 -0800277- Go to Declaration hyperlinks for navigating from @resource
278 references to their XML declarations, from the manifest file to
279 activity and service classes, from Java access of resource R fields
280 to the XML declarations, etc.
Xavier Ducrohet5e9522e2011-01-06 18:02:13 -0800281- Logcat view in DDMS now properly displays UTF-8 characters.

Xavier Ducrohetfb8fb872010-09-07 13:18:31 -0700289- New version number scheme following the SDK Tools revision number.
Tor Norbye9f321db2011-01-10 19:45:35 -0800290- Support for true debug build. No need to change the value of
291 debuggable in the Android Manifest. Incremental build will
292 automatically insert debuggable==true while using the "export
293 signed/unsigned application package" will not. If debuggable=true
294 is set, then release builds will actually do a debug build.
295- Automatic Proguard support in release builds. Only need to have a
296 proguard.config property in default.properties that points to a
297 proguard config file.
298- Completely rewritten Visual Layout Editor. This is very much a work
299 in progress.
300 - full drag and drop from palette to layout for all Layout
301 classes.
302 - Move widgets inside a Layout view, from one Layout view to
303 another and from one layout file to another.

317 contextual menu) will do a full application package refatoring.
318- Fixed issue with library project names containing characters that
319 aren't compatible with Eclipse path variable. The link between the
320 main project and the library would fail to create.
321- Added support for library projects that don't have a source folder
322 called "src". There is now support for any number of source folder,
323 with no name restriction. They can even be in sub folder such as
324 "src/java".
Xavier Ducrohetb4e47552010-07-01 18:01:43 -0700325- Added support for libraries with library dependencies.

327 and navexposed/navhidden
328- Added more device screen types for the layout editor. All screen
329 resolution/density combinations from
330 http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html#range
331 is now available.
Xavier Ducrohet6d092a42010-06-09 11:23:57 -0700332

347 as valid targets for application launches.
348- Loads the SDK content only when a project requires it. This will
349 make Eclipse use less resources when the SDK contains many versions
350 of Android.
Xavier Ducrohet244d1812009-12-08 16:05:19 -0800351- DDMS plug-in now contains the Allocation Tracker view.

644 help rebuilding the resources when only binary files were changed
645 from outside eclipse.
