Android 7.0 "Nougat" released
Google has announced
that the Android 7.0 release has started rolling out to recent-model Nexus
devices. "It introduces a brand new JIT/AOT compiler to improve
software performance, make app installs faster, and take up less
storage. It also adds platform support for Vulkan, a low-overhead,
cross-platform API for high-performance, 3D graphics. Multi-Window support
lets users run two apps at the same time, and Direct Reply so users can
reply directly to notifications without having to open the app. As always,
Android is built with powerful layers of security and encryption to keep
your private data private, so Nougat brings new features like File-based
encryption, seamless updates, and Direct Boot."
