Google’s big announcement this week was definitely the touchdown on its yard of some other Android statue, indicating the naming of its own latest Android OS, 6.0 Marshmallow.
Details of Android M are well recorded on this particular website, but the coming of the 3rd preview version for the naming as well as programmers implies that we’re now really close to a release.
It’s presumed, and expected, that it’ll coincide together with the release of one from LG, the fabled two new Nexus apparatus and one from Huawei, each of which have leaked more than a church roof before the huge raffle. No dates yet, but we are fairly certain it is weeks rather than months.
Elsewhere on Alphabet Street (once Google Plaza) there is the coming of version 1.5 of the Go programming language.
There’s also a lot of progress for programmer tools, and experimental support for a fresh array of designs including ARM64 and IBM Power PC. The latter will be put to use as a grounding for the usage of Go as a programming language for iOS and Android.
The Android Open Source Job has declared some more chilled out rules about exactly what makes up a ‘core’ Google program which must be contained with cellphones. Because of this we can kiss good-bye to a number of the stock that is more irritating but undeletable programs like the social network time forgot, Google, and Google Newsstand, the news program.
