Developer Preview of Android N arrives with concrete changes: Android Studio 2.2 adds a new packaging toolchain that yields up to an order-of-magnitude faster installs and smaller releases, ConstraintLayout, a test recorder, APK Analyzer and CMake support; Play Console gains a pre-launch report using Firebase Test Lab; Play Store delta/patching shrinks updates (saving ~1 petabyte/day); runtime changes include Doze Light, removed background broadcasts (eg connectivity and NEW_PICTURE), JobScheduler/firebase dispatcher, file URI deprecation (use FileProvider), multi-window, data saver, direct boot and Java 8 lambdas.
