Apktool v2.1.0 has been released! This version brings a bunch of fixes and adds smali as a dependency instead of a gitsubmodule. It additionally removes the SmaliDebugging feature in favour of [SmaliIdea](https://github.com/JesusFreke/smali/wiki/smalidea?ref=connortumbleson.com) (A plugin for IntelliJ to provide debugging for `.smali` files authored by JesusFreke).

## 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](https://github.com/JesusFreke/smali/wiki/smalidea?ref=connortumbleson.com) 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.
