The next version of Android officially known as release 6.0, is also called Marshmallow. The final version of the Android M developer preview has been released, alongside the Android 6.0 SDK. Good news for developers who can start testing out the apps. The new features include direct sharing between Android devices, user-facing app permission controls – most are calling granular app permissions and system-level support for fingerprint sensors.



Here’s the short version from Google:



Android platform change



Final Permissions User Interface – we updated the permissions user interface and enhanced some of the permissions’ behavior.



API change



Updates to the Fingerprint API – which enables better error reporting, better fingerprint enrollment experience, plus enumeration support for greater reliability.
