+  When you update Android Studio, you may receive a prompt to automatically

+  can choose to accept the update or manually specify a version based on
+  your project's build requirements.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+  You can specify the <a href=
+  "{@docRoot}tools/building/plugin-for-gradle.html">Android Plugin for
+  Gradle</a> version in either the <strong>File</strong> &gt; <strong>Project
+  Structure</strong> &gt; <strong>Project</strong> menu in Android Studio, or
+  the top-level <code>build.gradle</code> file. The plugin version applies to
+  all modules built in that Android Studio project. The following example sets
+  the Android Plugin for Gradle to version 2.0.0 from the
+  <code>build.gradle</code> file:

+  <strong>Caution:</strong> You should not use dynamic dependencies in version

+</p>
+
+<p>
+  If the specified plugin version has not been downloaded, Gradle downloads it

+        supporting bytecode injection, and pushing code and resource updates to a
+        running app on the emulator or a physical device.
+        </li>
+
+        <li>Added support for incremental builds, even when the app isn’t running.
+        Full build times are improved by pushing incremental changes through the
+        <a href="{@docRoot}tools/help/adb.html">Android Debug Bridge</a> to the
+        connected device.
+        </li>
+
+        <li>Added <code>maxProcessCount</code> to control how many slave dex processes can
+        be spawned concurrently. The following code, in the module-level
+        <code>build.gradle</code> file, sets the maximum number of concurrent processes
+        to 4:
+<pre>
+android {
+  ...
+  dexOptions {
+  maxProcessCount = 4
+  }
+}
+</pre>
+        </li>
+
+        <li>Added an experimental code shrinker to support pre-dexing and reduce re-dexing
+        of dependencies, which are not supported with Proguard. This improves the build
+        speed of your debug build variant. Because the experimental shrinker does not
+        support optimization and obfuscation, you should enable Proguard for your
+        release builds. To enable the experimental shrinker for your debug builds, add
+        the following to your module-level <code>build.gradle</code> file:
+
+<pre>
+android {
+  ...
+  buildTypes {
+    debug {
+      minifyEnabed true
+      useProguard false
+    }
+    release {
+      minifyEnabed true
+      useProguard true // this is a default setting
+    }
+  }
+}
+</pre>
+        </li>
+
+        <li>Added logging support and improved performance for the resource shrinker.
+        The resource shrinker now logs all of its operations into a <code>resources.txt</code>
+        file located in the same folder as the Proguard log files.
+        </li>
+      </ul>
+    </dd>
+
+    <dt>Changed behavior:</dt>
+    <dd>
+      <ul>
+        <li>When <code>minSdkVersion</code> is set to 18 or higher, APK signing uses
+        SHA256.
+        </li>
+
+        <li>DSA and ECDSA keys can now sign APK packages.
