| 2 | WebView can now be built entirely from the Chromium source code. |

| 4 | Docs on how to build WebView from Chromium for use in AOSP are available here: |

| 12 | The prebuilt APKs provided here are built from Chromium upstream sources; you |
| 13 | should check the commit message to see the version number for a particular |
| 14 | prebuilt. The version number is formatted like "12.0.3456.789" and matches the |
| 15 | tag in the Chromium repository it was built from. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | If you want to build your own WebView, you should generally build the latest |
| 18 | stable version, not the version published here: newer versions have important |
| 19 | security and stability improvements. |
