Notes

• The version bump to 2.1.x was for the removal of SmaliDebugging. A warning of this removal had been emitted since version 2.0.3. JesusFreke of Smali has created SmaliIdea a plugin to replicate this functionality.
• --keep-broken-res will now ignore duplicate resources to allow decodes of applications that modify core Android. This decoded application won't be build-able, but can be used for analysis.
