[android-developers] Re: why is the sdk 1.5 prerelease releaed with obsolete documentation?
The documentation on the official web site is still for 1.1 As as been announced, we will update the site when we release the final 1.5 SDK It's a preview for a reason :-) On Thu, Apr 16, 2009 at 4:24 PM, a druid klausf...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, Well I know, that this is just a pre-release bla . bla . bla, but still this doesn't justify everything.

Hi David, I do not talk about the documentation on the web. The documentation packaged with the 1.5. release is wrong as well. If the doc is wrong in any case it might be better to provide a doc.html, which states. This is a pre-release. Don't expect to find any useful documentation here. If you're relally interested in the documentation of the previous release, then click 'here' I still think this would be better than providing bad documentation without any comments.

I agree with you, but I can only assume that doing this was going to be a risky change to the SDK generation script, and that it was just easier to package the stuff as-is for the preview.
