  • v4.0.0 Changes

    August 14, 2013

  • v3.5.0 Changes

    August 14, 2013

    • Library now uses the r6 version of the compatibility library for its base. Ice Cream Sandwich-specific implementations are currently disabled, however, but will be added in a future version of the library.

      • Action item dividers are now added automatically only when necessary to distinguish possible confusion between action items.
      • Fix: Action views now properly size themselves within the bounded space of the menu.

    • Fix: SubMenu's findItem(int) method now properly returns the support version of MenuItem.
