[android-developers] ACRA 4.3.0 is now the official stable version.

After 15 months of great service and more than 11700 downloads, it's time for v4.2.3 to bow out and live a new life among the deprecated releases.

If you did not follow the beta phase, here's what's new in ACRA 4.3.0:
  * cleaned, more stable code base, reducing reports duplicates (thanks to 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

For more details about the changes, read previous posts from the Google+ page or the ChangeLog on the project wiki.

If you upgrade from 4.2.3, be aware that the default list of ReportFields has changed. You would better create a new spreadsheet & form with the help of the doc/CrashReports-Template.csv or use @ReportsCrashes(customReportContent={...}) to redefine your own list of fields

Thanks a lot to everyone for testing during these 3 weeks of Beta (with special thanks to Nikolay Elenkov  for his feedback on the dynamic configuration API), the 3 successive beta releases have reached 397 downloads on googlecode, not including Maven downloads. There were very few reports during the Beta, a proof that you can rely on this new version even more than you could rely on the previous.

About Maven. ACRA is now available on Maven Central, with 4.2.3 and 4.3.0 stable releases available on the central repository. Just note these IDs: groupId ch.acra / artifactId acra.

If you think there are missing parts in the documentation, please open an issue.
