Hi,

A new ACRA version is coming and is now at the Release Candidate stage 
after 2 weeks of Beta:
http://code.google.com/p/acra/downloads/detail?name=acra-4.3.0RC.zip
It is planned to be promoted stable on the 8th of September.

ACRA is a free, simple, flexible and open source library enabling you apps 
to send crash reports to a GoogleDoc spreadsheet or other custom backends 
(inhouse developments or third parties like Bugsense and HockeyApp) with 
extensive contextual data about the device and the context of the crash.

According to an analysis by 
Appbrain<http://www.appbrain.com/stats/libraries/details/acra/acra>, 
ACRA is the 12th most used Android Dev Tool library.

After more than a year since ACRA 4.2.3, here are the main new features:

   - cleaned, more stable code base, reducing reports duplicates (William 
   Ferguson)
   - new experimental and long awaited *direct dialog* interaction mode, 
*without 
   notifications* (thanks to Julia Segal)
   - full *runtime configuration API*, required for projects using Android 
   Library Projects since ADT14, and very handy for developers in need of 
   dynamic ACRA configuration.
   - addition of a collector for a custom log file
   - addition of a collector for the details of the broken thread (id, 
   name, groupname)
   - addition of a collector for the new MediaCodecList provided in the 
   Jelly Bean API

A more detailed description of the changes has been introduced in this

the latest news and tips.

The new code base has already been tested and deployed in production apps 
for more than a year. The beta version has been downloaded 247 times (not 
including maven downloads) with a single valid issue reported in 2 weeks. 
Please help us ensure that this new version is rock solid, give it a try 
and report issues!

If you already use ACRA, be aware that the default list of ReportFields has 
changed, so you must either create a new Spreadsheet and Form from the 
template provided in the archive or set the customReportContent 
configuration item with the fields you use.
