# Android Asset Packaging Tool 2.0 (AAPT2) release notes
|
|
|
|
## Version 2.4
|
|
### `aapt2 link ...`
|
|
- Supports `<meta-data>` tags in `<manifest>`.
|
|
|
|
## Version 2.3
|
|
### `aapt2`
|
|
- Support new `font` resource type.
|
|
|
|
## Version 2.2
|
|
### `aapt2 compile ...`
|
|
- Added support for inline complex XML resources. See
|
|
https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/complex-xml-resources.html
|
|
### `aapt link ...`
|
|
- Duplicate resource filtering: removes duplicate resources in dominated configurations
|
|
that are always identical when selected at runtime. This can be disabled with
|
|
`--no-resource-deduping`.
|
|
|
|
## Version 2.1
|
|
### `aapt2 link ...`
|
|
- Configuration Split APK support: supports splitting resources that match a set of
|
|
configurations to a separate APK which can be loaded alongside the base APK on
|
|
API 21+ devices. This is done using the flag
|
|
`--split path/to/split.apk:<config1>[,<config2>,...]`.
|
|
- SDK version resource filtering: Resources with an SDK version qualifier that is unreachable
|
|
at runtime due to the minimum SDK level declared by the AndroidManifest.xml are stripped.
|
|
|
|
## Version 2.0
|
|
### `aapt2 compile ...`
|
|
- Pseudo-localization: generates pseudolocalized versions of default strings when the
|
|
`--pseudo-localize` option is specified.
|
|
- Legacy mode: treats some class of errors as warnings in order to be more compatible
|
|
with AAPT when `--legacy` is specified.
|
|
- Compile directory: treats the input file as a directory when `--dir` is
|
|
specified. This will emit a zip of compiled files, one for each file in the directory.
|
|
The directory must follow the Android resource directory structure
|
|
(res/values-[qualifiers]/file.ext).
|
|
|
|
### `aapt2 link ...`
|
|
- Automatic attribute versioning: adds version qualifiers to resources that use attributes
|
|
introduced in a later SDK level. This can be disabled with `--no-auto-version`.
|
|
- Min SDK resource filtering: removes resources that can't possibly be selected at runtime due
|
|
to the application's minimum supported SDK level.
