Recent Changes ‎ > ‎ Android Studio 1.4 RC 1 Available We've just released Android Studio 1.4 RC 1 to the canary channel.

We've also promoted 1.4 Beta 4 to the beta channel, since that build has been in testing for a few days now and there are no big problem. (However, if you're on Linux and using a high density display you may want to jump directly to RC 1 where there are important fixes for that configuration.)

RC 1 contains bug fixes in a number areas: Fixes for high-density displays on Linux (and in general, we have more information on how to configure high density displays for Windows and Linux in this document

Many more fixes to the templates (activities, etc), visual refresh, and removed misc warnings

Vector icons displayed properly in the editor margin

Layout editor bug with duplicate id's in RelativeLayouts

Auto completion of upper-cased permission names in manifest files

Inferring nullity in multi-module project

Lint warns about missing platform-tools 23.0.1 (prevents properly API checking Android M calls) or using buildTools pre-23.0.1 (to prevent crashes on some devices for RTL attributes)

Fix build errors with vector image generation on OSX when using Java 6 to run the IDE and Java 7 to run the IDE ("Could not find class: apple.awt.CGraphicsEnvironment")

Fix git module configuration bug

Misc theme editor bugs

Misc crash reporter bugs Installation If you are already using a 1.4 Preview/Beta build, you can use the builtin Update mechanism to upgrade directly to 1.4 RC 1.

If you are using 1.3.1, you can also update via a patch, but , you may not want to do that; p atch-updating to this new version will replace your existing stable installation with a preview version. Instead, you can download a separate installation of 1.4 from the Android Studio 1.4 RC 1 page . You can keep 1.3.2 and 1.4 Beta 4 installed side by side; they use separate settings and cache directories.

Problems

If you run into problems, be sure to check the Known Issues page which we'll update as necessary.
