Title: Google Replaces Android Developer Preview With Rolling Canary Channel

Link: https://developers.slashdot.org/story/25/07/1...

BrianFagioli shares a report from NERDS.xyz: Android is changing how it gives
developers access to early features. The company is replacing its old
Developer Preview model with a new Canary channel that provides rolling
updates all year long. This new approach is meant to give developers earlier
and more consistent access to experimental tools and APIs. Previously,
Developer Previews had to be manually flashed onto devices. They only ran
during the earliest stages of each release cycle and stopped once Android
entered the beta phase. That meant promising features that were not quite
ready for beta had nowhere to go and no way to collect feedback. The Canary
channel solves that by running in parallel with the existing beta program and
delivering over the air updates automatically.
