According to Jamal Eason, Android Studio Product Manager, the goal is to keep Android Studio as the productivity booster for building terrific Android apps. Since the last stable release, Android Studio 3.3 tackles over 200 user-reported bugs. This version also offers official support for Navigation Editor, improved incremental Java compilation when utilizing annotation processors, C++ code lint inspections, an updated new project wizard, and usability fixes for each of the performance profilers.
