<dt>Dependencies:</dt>

<p><p>ADT 8.0 is designed for use with SDK Tools r8. If you haven't

already installed SDK Tools r8 into your SDK, use the Android SDK and AVD Manager to do

so.</p></dd>

<dt>General notes:</dt>

<dd>

<ul>

  <li>New version number scheme that follows the SDK Tools revision number. The major version

number for your ADT plugin should now always match the revision number of your SDK Tools. For

example, ADT 8.x is for SDK Tools r8.</li>

  <li>Support for true debug build. You no longer need to change the value of the

   <code>debuggable</code> attribute in the Android Manifest.

  <p>Incremental builds automatically insert <code>debuggable="true"</code>, but if you perform

  "export signed/unsigned application package", ADT does <em>not</em> insert it.

  If you manually set <code>debuggable="true"</code> in the manifest file, then release builds will

  actually create a debug build (it does not remove it if you placed it there).</p></li>

  <li>Automatic <a href="{@docRoot}guide/developing/tools/proguard.html">Proguard</a> support in

release builds. For it to work, you need to have a <code>proguard.config</code>

  property in the <code>default.properties</code> file that points to a proguard config file.</li>

  <li>Completely rewritten Visual Layout Editor. (This is still a work in progress.) Now includes:

    <ul>

      <li>Full drag and drop from palette to layout for all Layout classes.</li>

      <li>Move widgets inside a Layout view, from one Layout view to another and from one layout file to another.</li>

      <li>Contextual menu with enum/flag type properties.</li>

      <li>New zoom controls.</li>

    </ul></li>

  <li>New HierarchyViewer plug-in integrated in Eclipse.</li>

  <li>Android launch configurations don't recompile the whole workspace on launch anymore.</li>

  <li><code>android.jar</code> source and javadoc location can now be configured.</li>

</ul>

</ul>
