Most users won't notice much of a difference, but developers will now have a bunch of new commands at their disposal.。

The most important new tool is the Neural Networks API, which will help developers incorporate machine learning into their apps. 。

The release includes a number of smaller optimizations as well. Apps can now only make a notification alert once per second, where before they could make multiple in quick succession.。

Additionally, developers can now direct their apps to automatically take a specific action each time they arrive at a webpage that Google has marked as unsafe.。
