Apktool 2.0.0 RC4 Released

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 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 me figure that out.

Changes since RC3

• Updated to smali/baksmali 2.0.5
• [#685] - Fixed select invalid attrs from Lollipop APKs
• [#713] - Added support for APKs that utilized Shared Resources
• [#329] - Fixed issue identifying strings that were named liked filepaths as ResFiles
• [#590] - Fixed isolated issue with segfaulting apks
• [#545] - Fixed issue with undefined attributes
