+    <dt>General Notes:</dt>
+    <dd>
+      <ul>
+      <li>Added support for the <code>com.android.build.threadPoolSize</code> property to control
+         the <code>Android</code> task thread pool size from the <code>build.gradle</code> file or
+         the command line. The following example sets this property to 4.
+<pre>
+-Pcom.android.build.threadPoolSize=4
+</pre>
+      </li>
+      <li>Set the default build behavior to exclude <code>LICENSE</code> and <code>LICENSE.txt</code>
+        files from APKs. To include these files in an APK, remove these files from the
+        <code>packagingOptions.excludes</code> property in the <code>build.gradle</code> file.
+        For example:
+<pre>
+android {
+      packagingOptions.excludes = []
+    }
+</pre>
+      </li>
+      <li>Added the <code>sourceSets</code> task to inspect the set of all available source sets. </li>
+      <li>Enhanced unit test support to recognize multi-flavor and
+        <a href="{@docRoot}tools/building/configuring-gradle.html#workBuildVariants">
+        build variant</a>  source folders. For example, to test an app with multi-flavors
+        <code>flavor1</code> and <code>flavorA</code> with the <code>Debug</code> build type,
+        the test source sets are:
+        <ul>
+          <li>test </li>
+          <li>testFlavor1 </li>
+          <li>testFlavorA </li>
+          <li>testFlavor1FlavorA </li>
+          <li>testFlavor1FlavorADebug </li>
+        </ul>
+        <p>Android tests already recognized multi-flavor source folders. </p> </li>
+      <li>Improved unit test support to:</p>
+        <ul>
+          <li>Run <code>javac</code> on main and test sources, even if the <code>useJack</code>
+            property is set to <code>true</code> in your build file. </li>
+          <li>Correctly recognize dependencies for each build type. </li>
+        </ul>
+      </li>
+      <li>Added support for specifying instrumentation test-runner arguments from the command line.
+        For example:
+<pre>
+./gradlew connectedCheck \
+   -Pandroid.testInstrumentationRunnerArguments.size=medium \
+   -Pandroid.testInstrumentationRunnerArguments.class=TestA,TestB
+</pre>
+      </li>
+      <li>Added support for arbitrary additional Android Asset Packaging Tool (AAPT) parameters
+        in the <code>build.gradle</code> file. For example:
+<pre>
+android {
+    aaptOptions {
+      additionalParameters "--custom_option", "value"
+    }
+}
+</pre>
+      </li>
+
+      <li>Added support for a <a href="{@docRoot}tools/studio/studio-features.html#test-module">
+        test APK module</a> as a separate test module, using the
+        <code>targetProjectPath</code> and <code>targetVariant</code> properties to set the APK
+        path and target variant.
+         <p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> A test APK module does not support product
+          flavors and can only target a single variant. Also, Jacoco is not supported yet.</p>
+      </li>
+      <li>Added resource name validation before merging resources. </li>
+      <li>When building an AAR (Android ARchive) package for library modules, do not provide an
+        automatic <code>&#64;{applicationId}</code> placeholder in the
+        <a href="{@docRoot}tools/building/manifest-merge.html">manifest merger</a> settings.
+        Instead, use a different placeholder, such as <code>&#64;{libApplicationId}</code> and
+        provide a value for it if you want to include application Ids in the archive library.  </li>
