Release updates archive

We have just released Android Studio 2.3 Canary 2 to the Canary and Dev channels. This build contains a large number of bug fixes and a handful of new features.

Below are highlights of some of the major changes in this release:

Lean Navigation Updates
We have an updated toolbar with the AVD & SDK Manager icons for those who just use the lean Navigation Toolbar and not the full Toolbar.



Bugs:

• Applying Patches from Android Studio Canary 1 was broken. A fix should be in Canary 2 going forward. (SDK Patches continue to be broken and we are still working on a fix for this new feature.)
• Android Studio and the Kotlin plugin should now be functional again.
• Many other bug fixes as well.

We just published ConstraintLayout beta 4. As always, it's available in the SDK Manager (under the "Support Repository" section).

Note: if you are using Android Studio 2.2, you might have to do File->Invalidate Caches & restart studio after installing this version (the editor behavior may not be correct, with widgets temporarily snapping to the top left corner or not shown).

This release fixes a few bugs related to guideline positioning and use of include tag, plus some additional performance improvement. We encourage you to update from previous versions.
