We plan to add more memory profiling features in the future.

Analyze > Inspect Code should be a lot more accurate now (as well as faster). In older builds, you could end up with hundreds of irrelevant warnings for things like empty XML tags in third party libraries like appcompat, or gradle script keywords flagged as spelling mistakes, or unused properties in local.properties, and even downright wrong suggestions, like suggesting you make a public Android activity package protected instead.

Lint: There are a few new lint checks. First, there is a lint check which looks for potential widget overlaps in RelativeLayouts. Second, the plurals detector has been updated with ICU 53 data, and it will now include specific examples of implied quantities, which helps explain for example why the quantity "one" should be including the actual number in the given language:

The Android window no longer shows a modal progress bar while adb starts up

Attempting to edit files outside the project (which used to be marked as read-only) now shows a dialog instead where you can deliberately unlock the files

Additional build failure scenarios (such as low memory conditions for the Gradle daemon, or socket permissions) are recognized along with hyperlink actions to resolve the problems

A lot of bug fixes!
