In terms of content, this update:

Added a large appendix on the N Developer Preview 1, with
particular emphasis on file: Uri values, multi-window support,
and JobScheduler improvements

Added a chapter on unit testing

Added a large chapter on NetCipher, for improving
your network security, particularly allowing your HTTP requests to go
over Tor

Added material on OkHttp3 and Apache���s independent packaging
of HttpClient to the chapter on Internet access

Added coverage on focus modes, flash modes, and zoom support in
the chapter on using the camera APIs

Added a section on the official backport of vector drawables to
the chapter on drawable formats

Updated some of the material on ARC and ChromeOS

Rewrote samples that used the now-discontinued Universal Image Loader,
switching them to Picasso

Lots of bug fixes and general improvements, particularly to older chapters

Removed obsolete chapters on HTML5 and PhoneGap

Also, source code listings that come from the sample apps have their
own dedicated links to
the book���s GitHub repo.
These differ slightly from the links to the projects themselves that
you will see before any extended review of the sample app���s code:

Links to the projects point to the master branch. This will reflect
the latest version of the sample, which may be newer than the book
edition that you are reading.

Links to the individual source files point to a version of that file
tagged for the book edition. This allows you to view the full file
for the source matching what you are seeing in the book edition that
you are reading. However, there may be updates to that code in newer
book editions.

There is one new subscriber benefit that debuted with this release,
but I will hold off on explaining that until tomorrow.
