      Build system
      +
      +
        +
      • Changed default.properties to project.properties and + build.properties to ant.properties. ADT automatically + renames these files, if necessary, when you open a project in Eclipse.
        • +
      • Changed how library projects are built in Eclipse.
        • +
      • Changed output of javac from bin/ to bin/classes + in Eclipse.
        • +
      • Improved incremental builds so that resource compilation runs less frequently. Builds no + longer run when you edit strings or layouts (unless you add a new id) and no longer + run once for each library project.
        • +
      • Introduced a "PNG crunch cache" that only runs on modified PNG files, instead of + crunching all existing PNG files, all the time.
        • +
      • Modified resource compilation so it no longer happens for normal save operations. It only + happens when running or debugging (the build option that lets you disable the packaging + step, which was introduced in ADT 12, is now on by default.)

      • Revamped the SDK Manager UI (more +info).
        • +
      • Revamped the New Project and the New XML File wizards to have +multiple pages. Sample projects are now copied into the workspace such that they can be modified +and deleted without affecting the master copy +(more info).

      XML and Java editors
      +
      +
        +

        • +
      • Added the "Go to Matching" (Ctrl-Shift-P) feature, which lets you jump +between opening and closing tags in XML files.

      Layout editor

      • Added the ability to suppress rendering fidelity warnings (more info).

      • Added "Remove Container" visual refactoring that removes the + children of a container up to the top level and transfers + namespace and layout attributes if necessary (more info).
        • +
      • Added pull-right menus to the context menu for accessing + properties of the parents, which is useful when the children fully + cover the parent and make it hard to select on their own.
        • +
      • Improved access to properties in the context menu. The most + frequently set attributes for each view are listed at the top of + the menu. The Properties menu offers access to the most + recently set attributes, attributes organized by their defining + view, and layout attributes only or all attributes alphabetically (more info).
