| 2 | |
| 3 | ## Version 2.0 |
| 4 | ### `aapt2 compile ...` |
| 5 | - Pseudo-localization: generates pseudolocalized versions of default strings when the |
| 6 | `--pseudo-localize` option is specified. |
| 7 | - Legacy mode: treats some class of errors as warnings in order to be more compatible |
| 8 | with AAPT when `--legacy` is specified. |
| 9 | - Compile directory: treats the input file as a directory when `--dir` is |
| 10 | specified. This will emit a zip of compiled files, one for each file in the directory. |
| 11 | The directory must follow the Android resource directory structure |
| 12 | (res/values-[qualifiers]/file.ext). |
| 13 | |
| 14 | ### `aapt2 link ...` |
| 15 | - Automatic attribute versioning: adds version qualifiers to resources that use attributes |
| 16 | introduced in a later SDK level. This can be disabled with `--no-auto-version`. |
| 17 | - Min SDK resource filtering: removes resources that can't possibly be selected at runtime due |
| 18 | to the application's minimum supported SDK level. |
