Note: As we announced last year, we adjusted our version numbering of Android Studio to match the year and version of the IntelliJ IDEA that Android Studio is based on, plus our own patch number.

We used your feedback to create this suite of new Android Studio features that will help empower the developer community to create high quality, modern apps across devices faster! The release also focuses on devices, including Wear OS, and helps with developer productivity, with features like a new Background Task Manager. This latest release brings to life Jetpack Compose 1.0, Android's new toolkit for building native UI.
