Lint

Architectural improvements allow many cross-file checks to be run incrementally in the IDE such that they show up in the editor while editing, rather than requiring a full Analysis run to be performed.

The lint.xml configuration file can now filter out errors in files not just by exact relative paths but also by regular expressions such as

<ignore regexp="res/.*layout.*/activation.xml" />

and by glob expressions:

<ignore path="res/**/activation.xml" />

configuration file can now filter out errors in files not just by exact relative paths but also by regular expressions such as and by glob expressions:

A large number of bug fixes! NOTE: If you are on Mac OSX, and you have modified your Android Studio's Info.plist file to use Java 7 instead of Java 6, the IDE may not start. See the If you are on Mac OSX,you have modified your Android Studio's Info.plist file to use Java 7 instead of Java 6, the IDE may not start. See the Known Issues document for workarounds.

Installation If you are already running Android Studio, 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 need to download a full install, visit the Android Studio Canary Build 0.5.0 page.
