Tor Norbye310538c2012-01-13 08:56:18 -08001017.0.0:
11* ADT 17 requires Java 6 and Eclipse 3.6.2.
12* Improved Lint UI.
13 * Many new lint checks: See the tools changes.txt for details.
14 * New "Run Lint" toolbar action with a dropdown menu for selecting
15 specific (or all) projects, clearing results, etc.
16 * The results window is now organized as a tree rather than a flat
17 list. Each issue type has a single top level item, which makes it
18 easier to quickly scan through the reported issues and narrow
19 down to issues you are most interested in.
20 * The results window contains many new toolbar actions, including
21 expand/collapse, ignore in file, ignore in project, ignore
22 everywhere, show options, and configure columns.
23 * There are new columns available, such as category, priority,
24 project, file and line. The column selection (as well as the
25 column sizes) are persisted. You can click on columns to sort by
26 that column.
27 * The Lint Options dialog has Enable All and Disable All buttons,
28 and a search filter textbox to filter by issue id, summary and
29 severity.
30* New Quick Outline for XML editors (Ctrl-O, Command-O). This shows
31 the structure of the current file including icons and ids, and lets
32 you filter and quickly jump to specific ids.
33* The resource chooser now shows the resolved value for resources
34 (e.g. when selecting @string/hello it displays that the resolved value
35 is "Hello World"). It also allows editing the chosen value directly.
36* The layout editor no longer assigns default ids to layouts, includes
37 and merge tags. This tended to pollute the namespace with a lot of
38 unused resources since layouts aren't usually manipulated via code,
39 or referenced from XML. (The RelativeLayout editor automatically
40 assigns ids to views without ids when pointing to them.)
Tor Norbye5ae5ceb2012-02-15 12:39:14 -080041* Export Screenshot from the Layout Editor
Tor Norbye310538c2012-01-13 08:56:18 -080042* Layout editor fix for SlidingDrawer which on some platforms could
43 not be dragged into the layout. Also fix preview rendering for
44 SlidingDrawer and TabHost (issue 23022).
45* New default application icons, including an xhdpi version.
46* Important bug fixes:
47 * Fix bug in resource chooser which made some types of framework
48 resources impossible to select (issue 20589)
49 * Fix a bug in the formatter where a certain whitespace pattern
50 could result in a non-space character getting deleted (issue
51 23940)
52 * Fix locale bug affecting Turkish locales in particular (issue
53 23747)
54
Tor Norbyea79073e2011-10-20 18:33:24 -07005516.0.0:
56* New "lint" feature which scans the Android projects for potential
57 problems such as missing translations, duplicate ids between layouts
58 that include each other, using px instead of dp units, hardcoded
59 strings, missing contentDescriptions, obsolete Proguard
60 configuration files, etc. Lint can be run on the command line, but
61 it is also integrated into the Problems view in Eclipse, and there
62 are also quickfixes available for many of the reported errors.

Xavier Ducrohetbabf25c2011-02-14 15:52:12 -080068- Build system:
Tor Norbyef0585b92011-08-19 19:00:45 -070069 - (TODO: More info) Improved library projects
70 - Improved incremental builds
71 - Resource compilation is run much less frequently. It is no
72 longer run when strings are edited, or when layouts are edited
73 (unless a new id is introduced), and it is no longer run once
74 per library project (!)
75 - Resource compilation is no longer done for normal save
76 operations, only when running or debugging (option added in ADT
77 12 now on by default.)
78 - There is a new "PNG crunch cache", which means image crunching
79 is only done once, not once per build which is significant for
80 projects with many resources
81 - Incremental ant builds
Xavier Ducrohetbabf25c2011-02-14 15:52:12 -080082 - ADT now uses bin/classes to output the java compilation
83 and bin/ for Android specific classes. This will make bin show up
84 in the package explorer.
Tor Norbyef0585b92011-08-19 19:00:45 -070085- DDMS
86 - Brand new logcat view. Fixes bugs, displays and filters by
87 application names instead of just pids, fronts when application
88 runs.
89- XML Editing
90 - New XML formatter which formats all XML files according to the
91 standard Android coding style. The formatter can also reorder
92 attributes to follow the recommended order.
93 - Improved "smart indent": automatic indentation and un-indentation
94 when pressing Return in XML editors
95 - Go to Matching (Ctrl-Shift-P) in XML files can now jump between
96 opening and closing tags
97 - Changes made by the layout editor are automatically run through
98 the new XML formatter.
99 - Select Enclosing Element should now work on the Mac as well.
100- Java Editing
101 - Quickfix for extracting Strings when the caret is inside a String
102- Layout Editor
103 - New GridLayout support
104 - Tooltip feedback for resizing and dragging operations. For
105 example, when dragging in a relative layout, the proposed
106 constraints are shown, and when resizing the new dimensions are
107 shown.
108 - New "Remove Container" visual refactoring which removes the
109 children of a container up to the top level and transfers
110 namespace and layout attributes if necessary.
111 - Improved access to properties in the context menu: The most
112 frequently set attributes for each view are listed at the top of
113 the menu, and the properties menu offers access to the most
114 recently set attributes, attributes organized by their defining
115 view, and layout attributes only or all attributes alphabetically.
116 - The context menu now also contains pull-right menus for accessing
117 properties of the parents, which is useful when the children fully
118 cover the parent making it hard to select on its own.
119 - Ability to suppress rendering fidelity warnings.
120- Asset Studio integration: Wizard creation of launcher icons, menu
121 icons, tab icons, etc.
Tor Norbyee92f8162011-09-27 08:59:15 -0700122- New Welcome Wizard to help installing and configuring the SDK
123 platforms.
Tor Norbye4dfe5712011-09-13 14:35:48 -0700124- The New Project and the New XML File wizards have been reworked into
125 multiple pages. Sample Projects are now copied into the workspace
126 such that they can be modified and deleted without affecting the
127 master copy.
128- The dependency on Eclipse GEF was removed.
129- Many bug fixes, and in particular some critical bug fixes on Linux
Xavier Ducrohetbabf25c2011-02-14 15:52:12 -0800130
Tor Norbyef0585b92011-08-19 19:00:45 -070013113.0.0
132- Tools release only (command line tools)
133
13412.0.0 (July 6th, 2011)
Tor Norbye61be14c2011-06-13 13:22:32 -0700135- Many bug fixes!
136- Visual Layout Editor:
137 - New RelativeLayout drop support with guideline suggestions for
138 attachments and cycle prevention.
139 - Resize support in most layouts. In LinearLayout, sizes are mapped
140 to weights. Guideline snapping to wrap_content and match_parent.
141 - Previews of drawables and colors in the resource chooser dialogs.
142 - Improved error messages and links for rendering errors, including
143 detection of misspellings of class names.
144- Build system: Delay post compiler phase until actual export or debug
145 to speed up interactive file saves. (This is off by default but can
146 be enabled in the ADT options panel.)
Xavier Ducrohet69a82902011-06-06 16:45:50 -0700147
Tor Norbyef0585b92011-08-19 19:00:45 -070014811.0.0 (June 6th, 2011)
Tor Norbye3dcfd762011-04-28 18:41:09 -0700149- Visual Refactoring:
150 - The new "Extract Style" refactoring pulls out style constants and
Tor Norbyee1777152011-05-25 15:50:53 -0700151 defines them as style rules instead.
Tor Norbye3dcfd762011-04-28 18:41:09 -0700152 - The new "Wrap in Container" refactoring surrounds the selected
153 views with a new layout, and transfers namespace and layout
154 parameters to the new parent
155 - The new "Change Widget Type" refactoring changes the type of the
156 selected views to a new type. (Also, a new selection context menu
157 in the visual layout editor makes it easy to select siblings as
158 well as views anywhere in the layout that have the same type).
159 - The new "Change Layout" refactoring changes layouts from one type
160 to another, and can also flatten a layout hierarchy.
161 - The "Extract as Include" refactoring now finds identical fragments
162 in other layouts and offers to combine all into a single include.
163 - There is a new Refactoring Quick Assistant which can be invoked
164 from the XML editor (with Ctrl-1) to apply any of the above
165 refactorings (and Extract String) to the current selection.
166- Visual Layout Editor:
167 - Improved "rendering fidelity": The layout preview has been
168 improved and should more closely match the rendering on actual
169 devices.
170 - The visual editor now previews ListViews at designtime. By
171 default, a two-line list item is shown, but with a context menu
172 you can pick any arbitrary layout to be used for the list items,
173 and you can also pick the header and footer layouts.
174 - The palette now supports "configurations" where a single view is
175 presented in various different configurations. For example, there
176 is a whole "Textfields" palette category where the EditText view
177 can be dragged in as a password field, an e-mail field, a phone
178 field, and so on. Similarly, TextViews are offered preconfigured
179 with large, normal and small theme sizes, and LinearLayouts are
180 offered both in horizontal and vertical configurations.
181 - The palette supports custom views, picking up any custom
182 implementations of the View class in your project source folders
183 or in included libraries, and these can be dragged into layouts.
Tor Norbyefb48dde2011-05-19 13:52:31 -0700184 - Fragments support: Fragments are available in the palette, and in
185 the tool you can choose which layout to show rendered for a given
186 fragment tag. Go to declaration works for fragment classes.
Tor Norbye3dcfd762011-04-28 18:41:09 -0700187 - The layout editor automatically applies a "zoom to fit" for newly
188 opened files as well as on device size and orientation changes to
189 ensure that large layouts are always fully visible unless you
190 manually zoom in.
191 - You can drop an "include" tag from the palette, which will pop up
192 a layout chooser, and the chosen layout is added as an include.
193 Similarly, dropping images or image buttons will pop up image
194 resource choosers to initialize the new image with.
195 - The configuration chooser now applies the "Render Target" and
196 "Locale" settings project wide, making it trivial to check the
197 layouts for different languages or render targets without having
198 to configure these individually for each layout.
199 - The layout editor is smarter about picking a default theme to
200 render a layout with, consulting factors like theme registrations
201 in the manifest, the SDK version, etc.
Tor Norbyefb48dde2011-05-19 13:52:31 -0700202 - The layout editor is also smarter about picking a default
203 configuration to render a layout with, defaulting to the currently
204 visible configuration in the previous file. It also considers the
205 SDK target to determine whether to default to a tablet or phone
206 screen size.
207 - Basic focus support: The first text field dropped in a layout is
208 assigned focus, and there are "Request Focus" and "Clear Focus"
209 context menu items on text fields to change the focus.
Tor Norbye3dcfd762011-04-28 18:41:09 -0700210- XML editors:
211 - Code completion has been significantly improved. It now works
212 within <style> elements, it completes dimensional units,
213 it sorts resource paths in values based on the attribute name,
214 etc. There are also many fixes to handle text replacement.
215 - AAPT errors are handled better. They are now underlined for the
216 relevant range in the editor, and a new quickfix makes it trivial
217 to create missing resources.
218 - Code completion for drawable, animation and color XML files.
219- DDMS:
220 - "New Folder" action in the File Explorer
221 - The screenshot dialog will add timestamps to the filenames, and
222 preserve the orientation on snapshot refresh
223- TraceView: Mouse-wheel zoom support in the timeline
224- The New Android Project wizard now supports Eclipse working sets
225- Most of the tools have improved integration with the Mac OSX
226 system menu bar.
227- Most of the tools have new launcher icons.
228
Tor Norbyef0585b92011-08-19 19:00:45 -070022910.0.1 (March, 2011)
Tor Norbye3301b682011-04-05 08:59:12 -0700230- Temporary work-around to resolve the rare cases in which the layout
231 editor will not open.
232- Fix issue in which ADT 10.0.0 would install on Eclipse 3.4 and
233 lower, even though ADT requires Eclipse 3.5 or higher (as of
234 10.0.0).
235
Tor Norbyef0585b92011-08-19 19:00:45 -070023610.0.0 (February 22nd, 2011)
Tor Norbye3301b682011-04-05 08:59:12 -0700237- The tools now automatically generate Java Programming Language
238 source files (in the gen/ directory) and bytecode (in the res/raw/
239 directory) from your .rs files.
240- A Binary XML editor has been added.
241- Traceview is now integrated into the Eclipse UI.
242- The "Go To Declaration" feature for XML and .java files quickly show
243 all the matches in the project and allows you jump to specific items
244 such as string translations or onClick handlers.
245- The Resource Chooser can create items such as dimensions, integers,
246 ids, and booleans.
247- Improvements to the Visual Layout Editor:
248 - A new Palette with categories and rendering previews.
249 - A Layout Actions bar that provides quick access to common layout
250 operations.
251 - When the Android 3.0 rendering library is selected, layouts render
252 more like they do on devices. This includes rendering of status
253 and title bars to more accurately reflect the actual screen space
254 available to applications.
255 - Zoom improvements such as fit to view, persistent scale, and
256 keyboard access..
257 - Further improvements to <merge> layouts, as well as layouts with
258 gesture overlays.
259 - Improved rendering error diagnostics.
260
Tor Norbyef0585b92011-08-19 19:00:45 -07002619.0.0 (January 26, 2011)
Xavier Ducrohet484e7f32010-11-17 15:17:59 -0800262- Visual Layout Editor
Tor Norbye9f321db2011-01-10 19:45:35 -0800263 - Empty layouts with 0,0 size are now automatically expanded when
264 selected and during drag and drop
265 - Rendering target can now be changed from the default (project
266 target)
267 - When choosing resources for rendering, the API level is properly
268 handled
Tor Norbyee14b92a2011-01-10 19:20:45 -0800269 - Improved support for rendering <include> and <merge> views
Tor Norbye9f321db2011-01-10 19:45:35 -0800270 - "Extract as Include" refactoring to extract selected views into
271 a separate included layout.
272 - String and reference properties can be edited from the layout
273 editor's context menu
274 - Rewritten outline drag & drop handling, improved label colors
275 and content
276 - The generated XML will be better formatted. Full XML formatter
277 can be enabled in the preferences (under Android > Editors), but
278 will touch part of the XML that isn't modified.
279 - Automatic configuration of many widgets on drop, such as
280 automatically filling a TextView in a vertical LinearLayout,
281 adding rows to new tables, etc.
282 - Double click views to jump to the corresponding XML declaration,
283 or for included views, to the included layout file
Tor Norbye6f147bd2011-01-17 22:25:54 -0800284 - Improved support for various views (such as TabHosts and
285 SlidingDrawers) when rendered using Honeycomb
Tor Norbye9f321db2011-01-10 19:45:35 -0800286- Go to Declaration hyperlinks for navigating from @resource
287 references to their XML declarations, from the manifest file to
288 activity and service classes, from Java access of resource R fields
289 to the XML declarations, etc.
Xavier Ducrohet5e9522e2011-01-06 18:02:13 -0800290- Logcat view in DDMS now properly displays UTF-8 characters.

Xavier Ducrohetfb8fb872010-09-07 13:18:31 -0700298- New version number scheme following the SDK Tools revision number.
Tor Norbye9f321db2011-01-10 19:45:35 -0800299- Support for true debug build. No need to change the value of
300 debuggable in the Android Manifest. Incremental build will
301 automatically insert debuggable==true while using the "export
302 signed/unsigned application package" will not. If debuggable=true
303 is set, then release builds will actually do a debug build.
304- Automatic Proguard support in release builds. Only need to have a
305 proguard.config property in default.properties that points to a
306 proguard config file.
307- Completely rewritten Visual Layout Editor. This is very much a work
308 in progress.
309 - full drag and drop from palette to layout for all Layout
310 classes.
311 - Move widgets inside a Layout view, from one Layout view to
312 another and from one layout file to another.

Xavier Ducrohet6d092a42010-06-09 11:23:57 -07003240.9.8:
Tor Norbye9f321db2011-01-10 19:45:35 -0800325- New Action "Rename Application Package" (under the "Android Tools"
326 contextual menu) will do a full application package refatoring.
327- Fixed issue with library project names containing characters that
328 aren't compatible with Eclipse path variable. The link between the
329 main project and the library would fail to create.
330- Added support for library projects that don't have a source folder
331 called "src". There is now support for any number of source folder,
332 with no name restriction. They can even be in sub folder such as
333 "src/java".
Xavier Ducrohetb4e47552010-07-01 18:01:43 -0700334- Added support for libraries with library dependencies.
Tor Norbye9f321db2011-01-10 19:45:35 -0800335- added support for new resource qualifiers: car/desk, night/notnight
336 and navexposed/navhidden
337- Added more device screen types for the layout editor. All screen
338 resolution/density combinations from
339 http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html#range
340 is now available.
Xavier Ducrohet6d092a42010-06-09 11:23:57 -0700341

Tor Norbye9f321db2011-01-10 19:45:35 -0800355- Fixed issue where add-on with no optional library would not show up
356 as valid targets for application launches.
357- Loads the SDK content only when a project requires it. This will
358 make Eclipse use less resources when the SDK contains many versions
359 of Android.
Xavier Ducrohet244d1812009-12-08 16:05:19 -0800360- DDMS plug-in now contains the Allocation Tracker view.
