The chapter on scoped storage was completely overhauled, owing to the substantial
changes that showed up in Q Beta 3. Also, the material on MediaStore was pulled
out into its own chapter.

A new chapter was added on new limits on getting location data.

The chapter on RoleManager was downgraded to a section in
the ���Other Changes of Note��� chapter, given that it is unclear
if it will have any, er, role in Android Q.

Similarly, the chapter on bubbles was downgraded to a section in
the ���Other Changes of Note��� chapter, since it will not be
accessible to ordinary users in Android Q.

A few other sections were added in the ���Other Changes of Note��� chapter,
mostly as placeholders for future chapters on dark mode, gesture navigation,
and audio capture.

And everything was brought up to date for Q Beta 3.

The next update will be after the release of Q Beta 4. So far, Google has stuck
to their timeline, and Q Beta 4 is slated for early June.
