We are excited to announce that HexDroid now supports incremental Over-the-Air (OTA) updates.

This feature allows for the delivery of smaller, more efficient update packages that contain only the changes between two specific versions. This significantly reduces download sizes, saves bandwidth, and improves the update experience for end-users.

We're excited to announce that HexDroid now supports Software Bill of Materials (SBOMs), empowering you with greater visibility and control over your software components.

A Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) serves as a comprehensive inventory of all components (e.g., dependencies) used to build a software artifact.

Commonly used and standardized formats for SBOMs include: CycloneDX, SPDX, SWID. However, HexDroid gives you flexibility to use any standardized or proprietary formats.

While SBOMs are often associated with regulatory compliance, their value goes far beyond that. They provide deep insight into what goes into each release and help ensure builds can be reliably reproduced.

We're thrilled to announce the launch of dedicated CI/CD features in HexDroid, specifically designed to tackle the unique complexities of building AOSP-based projects!

Building AOSP often involves managing multiple repositories, complex build configurations, and device-specific variations. Traditional CI/CD systems can struggle with these demands, often requiring extensive scripting and maintenance. HexDroid CI/CD simplifies this entire process with native support for AOSP workflows.

Our new aosp step provides a powerful, declarative approach to automate your AOSP builds, tests, and releases, reducing boilerplate and improving the reliability of your pipelines.
