Builds now +generate a class called {@code BuildConfig} containing a {@code DEBUG} constant that is +automatically set according to your build type. You can check the ({@code BuildConfig.DEBUG}) +constant in your code to run debug-only functions.</li> + <li>Fixed issue when a project and its libraries include the same jar file in their libs + folder. (<a href="http://tools.android.com/recent/dealingwithdependenciesinandroidprojects">more + info</a>)</li> + <li>Added support for custom views with custom attributes in libraries.

This URI is replaced with the app specific one at +build time.</li> + </ul> + </li> + <li>Lint + <ul> + <li>Updated Lint to check Android application code. Lint rules which previously +performed pattern based searches in the application code (such as the unused resource check) have +been rewritten to use the more accurate Java-style parse trees.</li> + <li>Added support for checking library projects. This change means that rules such as +the unused resource check properly handle resources declared in a library project and referenced in +a downstream project.</li> + <li>Added ability to suppress Lint warnings in Java code with the new +{@code @SuppressLint} annotation, and in XML files with the new tools: namespace and +ignore attribute.
