We've just released Android Studio 0.8.3 to the canary channel, with the following improvements:

Bug fixes (0.8.2 contained only critical fixes; this release contains a larger set of fixes)
Integrated recent IntelliJ 13.1 EAP builds. These are basically bug fix builds.

Inspect theme attributes for quick documentation. If you invoke View > Quick Documentation (usually bound to F1) on for example ?android:textAppearanceLarge you will see the theme inheritance hierarchy and resolved values for the various attributes that are pulled in:
Quickfixes for around 30 lint issues:
New Allocation Tracker integrated in the Android/DDMS window
Output window message filtering
No, the new Android project view (shown in the Google I/O Android Studio demo) is not in this build yet, but very soon now; we're hoping for later this week!

Installation

If you are already running Android Studio version 0.8.x, just restart it, or manually check for updates via Help > Check for Update... (on OSX, look in the Android Studio menu). This will download and install a small patch rather than download a full IDE image. If you are using an older version, you'll need to download a full install from the downloads page.

NOTE: 0.8.3. is currently only available in the canary channel, and Android Studio Beta will by default only look for updates in the beta channel, so if you want to update, open the preference dialog, go to the Updates category and change the channel setting.

Problems?

If you run into problems, be sure to check the Known Issues page which we'll update as necessary
