See the <a + href="/setup/start/p-release-notes">Release Notes</a> for feature summaries, + updates, and additions. Send us your feedback via bugs filed at <a + href="https://g.co/androidsourceissue" + class="external">g.co/androidsourceissue</a> or by clicking the <a + href="https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/new?component=191476">Site + Feedback</a> link in the footer of every page on the site.</p> + +<h3 id="second-menu">Second horizontal menu</h3> + +<p>The most sweeping change is the introduction of a second horizontal menu of +tabs within the site’s navigation to better expose deeper pages. +Now, instead of left navigation menus containing dozens of entries, each subtab +contains a small list of sections and pages directly relevant to the associated +topic identified in the subtab.</p> + +<p>Note we have not yet updated directory paths and URLs for existing +documentation to avoid breaking bookmarks and external links… yet. In +time, we will make these changes and institute redirects accordingly. So +revisit the site for new locations and update bookmarks as you find +changes.</p> + +<h3 id="set-up">Setup to Set up</h3> + +<p>The main <strong>Set up</strong> tab has been renamed slightly from +<em>Setup</em> to match the verbs used for subsequent primary tabs. +<strong>Download</strong> and <strong>Build</strong> contents have been split +into distinct subtabs to ease access to the pages they contain. The +<em>Develop</em> subsection has been renamed as a <strong>Create</strong> +subtab to avoid confusion with the new top-level <strong>Develop</strong> tab +of the same name.</p> + +<p>The information previously found on the <em>Compatibility > Contact +Us</em> page has been merged into the main <strong>Set up > Contact +(Community)</strong> list. +</p> + +<h3 id="design">Compatibility to Design</h3> + +<p>The information formerly found on the <em>Compatibility</em> top-level tab +can now be found under <strong>Design</strong>. See the +<strong>Compatibility</strong> subtab for an overview of that program and links +to the new <em>Android Compatibility Definition Document (CDD)</em>.</p> + +<p>In a related change, instructions for the <em>Android Compatibility Test +Suite (CTS)</em> and general debugging information have been moved to a +new <strong>Tests</strong> subtab. <strong>Display</strong> and +<strong>Settings</strong> menu guidelines have been shifted to dedicated +subtabs.</p> + +<h3 id="develop">Porting to Develop</h3> + +<p>The <em>Porting</em> tab has been renamed <strong>Develop</strong> to better +convey the instructions this tab contains. Largely focused upon implementing +individual interfaces, this documentation helps you write the drivers necessary +to connect your device to the Android operating system.</p> + +<p>As a result, the <strong>Architecture</strong> section describing the +overarching <em>HIDL</em> format has been moved to the <strong>Design</strong> +tab for consideration during the planning phase, earlier in the development +cycle. The <strong>Bootloader</strong> contents now live under +<strong>Design > Architecture,</strong> while an +<strong>Interaction</strong> subtab has been introduced to contain +<em>Input</em>, <em>Sensors</em>, and related information.</p> + +<p>The <strong>Connectivity</strong> section has been reorganized to include +<strong>Bluetooth and NFC</strong>, <strong>Calling and Messaging</strong>, +<strong>Carrier</strong>, and <strong>Wi-Fi</strong> subsections. In addition, +the Wi-Fi section includes the following new articles:</p> + +<ul> + <li><a href="/devices/tech/connect/wifi-overview">Overview</a></li> + <li><a href="/devices/tech/connect/wifi-hal">Wi-Fi HAL</a></li> + <li><a href="/devices/tech/connect/wifi-passpoint">Passpoint R1</a></li> + <li><a href="/devices/tech/connect/wifi-debug">Testing and Debugging</a></li> +</ul> + +<h3 id="configure">Tuning to Configure</h3> + +<p>The <em>Tuning</em> tab has been renamed <strong>Configure</strong> to encapsulate more than +customization and optimization steps. The former <em>Device Administration</em> +subsection is now found under <strong>Enterprise</strong>. The <em>ART and +Dalvik</em> contents reside under <strong>ART</strong>, and +<em>Over-the-air (OTA) update</em> information lives under +<strong>Updates</strong>.</p> + <h2 id="Dec-2017">December 2017</h2> <p> Android 8.1 has been released!
