The M Developer Preview program is an opportunity for you to test the compatibility of your apps
|
|
with the next platform release, try out early versions of new API features, and provide feedback
|
|
to the Android team. The program includes update releases during course of the program to allow
|
|
you to follow the progress of feature development and fixes, leading up to the official release
|
|
of the platform, as shown in Figure 1.

We strongly encourage you to provide feedback for the M Preview releases through our <a href=
|
|
"https://code.google.com/p/android-developer-preview/">issue tracker</a>. Issues reported early
|
|
in the program have a better chance of being addressed before the official release, so reports
|
|
provided by June 30, 2015 receive priority processing by the Android team.
