Xamarin.Android Preview for Android 5.1 and Android M
USXamarin Team Xamurai
Hello!
We are pleased to announce Xamarin.Android 5.1.77, which contains preview bindings for Android 5.1 and the Android M Developer Preview. This preview release is based on Xamarin.Android 5.1.4.
Android 5.1 is supported through the new $(TargetFrameworkVersion) value of v5.1.
Android M is supported through the new $(TargetFrameworkVersion) value of v5.2. Note that using M APIs also requires setting the //uses-sdk/@android:targetSdkVersion attribute within AndroidManifest.xml to MNC.
Note: Xamarin.Android 5.1.77 will never be a stable release, so don't wait for it. I have little faith that there won't be API changes to API-M before it becomes stable...whenever it becomes stable... so the v5.2 target framework should be considered to be unstable, and will change until API-M becomes a properly stable API-23.
Please let us know if you find any issues with this preview :-)

PPS: Why 5.1.77? Because 77 is the ASCII value for 'M'.
