Rolling release development models are one of many types of software release life cycles.Although a rolling release model can be used in the development of any piece or collection of software, it is most often seen in use by Linux distributions, notable examples being GNU Guix System, Arch Linux, Gentoo Linux, openSUSE Tumbleweed, PCLinuxOS, Solus, SparkyLinux, and Void Linux.
A canary release (or canary launch or canary deployment) allows developers to have features incrementally tested by a small set of developers. Feature flags like an alternate way to do canary launches [ 7 ] and allow targeting by geographic locations or even user attributes. [ 8 ]

On Linux, Android and iOS this process is even easier because a standardized process for version tracking (for software packages installed in the officially supported way) is built into the operating system, so no separate login, download and execute steps are required – so the process can be configured to be fully automated.
It is a replacement for the Eclipse Android Development Tools (E-ADT) as the primary IDE for native Android application development. Android Studio is licensed under the Apache license but it ships with some SDK updates that are under a non-free license, making it not open source. [9]
