 # Android Asset Packaging Tool 2.0 (AAPT2) release notes
 
+## Version 2.12
+### `aapt2 optimize ...`
+- aapt2 optimize now understands map (complex) values under the type `id`. It ignores their
+  contents and interprets them as a sentinel `id` type. This was added to support existing
+  apps that build with their `id` types as map values.
+  AAPT and AAPT2 always generate a simple value for the type `ID`, so it is unclear how some
+  these apps are encoded.
+
 ## Version 2.11
 ### `aapt2 link ...`
 - Adds the ability to specify assets directories with the -A parameter. Assets work just like
