Apktool 2.0.0 RC4 has been released. I was going to tag this version as 2.0 Gold, but since RC3 introduced a completely written aapt that caused a plethora of errors. I've decided to hold another release candidate.

This released contained 47 commits by 6 people. 27 of the commits belonging to the updated [smali](https://code.google.com/p/smali/?ref=connortumbleson.com) release. Notable in this release is the fix that aapt introduced with implictly adding qualifiers. This caused resource directories to change from `drawable-hdpi` to `drawable-hdpi-v11` as an example. This in theory shouldn't of broken anything, but bug reports proved otherwise.

Since Apktool isn't your "first" tool to build an APK. I determined it was best to just skip this step of adding qualifiers. 0xD34D from Cyanogen [helped](https://github.com/iBotPeaches/platform%5Fframeworks%5Fbase/commit/61afcc3c116b52c8d9aabea2b7f3fce185027f0f?ref=connortumbleson.com) me figure that out.
