Android Studio 3.2 Canary 9 is now available in the Canary and Dev channels.
Data Binding V2:
Data Binding V2 is now enabled by default and is compatible with V1. This means that, if you have library dependencies that you compiled with V1, you can use them with projects using Data Binding V2. However, note that projects using V1 cannot consume dependencies that were compiled with V2.
