Optimizations​

This release bundles a few improved optimizations that improve code size and performance:

  • Relax init optimization that inlines the constructor calls at object instantiation site. As a result, we can also remove the constructor method from the class.
  • By reordering classes in InterdexPass, we made dexes more dense after Halfnosis pass and empty dexes will be left behind and can be removed by the newly introduced DexRemovalPass.

Better Engineering & Reliability Improvements​

  • Improved dead resource elimination, to bring parity between .apk and .aab builds for removed resources.
  • Classes using the ServiceLoader Java APIs will now be kept by Redex; keep rules are no longer necessary.
  • Class renaming improvements to better identify class names used by layout files and string references.
  • Improved annotation handling in SingleImplPass.
