| <p>This page describes significant revisions to source.android.com. Please see the <a |
| href="https://android.googlesource.com/platform/docs/source.android.com/+log/master?no-merges">Android |
| Open Source Project (AOSP) docs/source.android.com log</a> for the complete |
| list of changes to this site. |
| |
| <h2 id="april-2017">April 2017</h2> |
| <p>Welcome to a new source.android.com! The site has been overhauled to make it |
| easier for you to navigate, search, and read its ever-growing set of information. |
| Here is a summary of enhancements:</p> |
| |
| <h3 id="screen-estate">More screen real estate, larger type size</h3> |
| <p>The entire site is wider, allowing you to view more content at once. Code |
| samples and commands are more visible, and all text has been enlarged.</p> |
| |
| <h3 id="mobile-ready">Mobile-ready view</h3> |
| <p>The new site renders more cleanly on handheld devices with a dedicated |
| mobile view.</p> |
| |
| <div style="width:407px"> |
| <img src="images/mobile-view.png" alt="new mobile view" height="533px" /> |
| <p class="img-caption"> |
| <strong>Figure 1.</strong> Site's new mobile view |
| </p> |
| </div> |
| |
| <h3 id="top-tabs">New top-level tabs</h3> |
| <p>The former <em>Devices</em> tab has been renamed <a |
| href="/devices/">Porting</a>, while the old <em>Core Technologies</em> |
| subtab has been renamed <a href="/devices/tech/">Tuning</a> and moved to the top |
| of the site for better exposure.</p> |
| |
| <h3 id="security-forefront">Security at the forefront</h3> |
| <p>With an ever-increasing focus on security in Android, the <a |
| href="/security/">Security</a> tab has been moved forward (next to <a |
| href="/source/">Source</a>) to reflect its importance.</p> |
| |
| <h3 id="reference-materials">Better reference materials</h3> |
| <p><a href="/reference/hal/">Hardware Abstraction Layer</a> and <a |
| href="/reference/tradefed/packages">Trade Federation</a> reference |
| materials are available directly from a top-level <a |
| href="/reference/">Reference</a> tab.</p> |
| |
| <h3 id="code-links">Persistent code links</h3> |
| <p>The <a href="https://android.googlesource.com/">AOSP code |
| repository</a> is always just a click away with the <strong>Go to Code</strong> |
| button at the top right of every page.</p> |
| |
| <h3 id="comprehensive-footers">Comprehensive footers</h3> |
| <p>In addition to the existing <em>About</em>, <em>Community</em>, and |
| <em>Legal</em> footers, you can now find a complete list of links at the bottom |
| of every page for building Android, connecting with the ecosystem, and getting |
| help with the operating system's use.</p> |
