Android Studio 3.2 available in the Stable channel

Android Studio 3.2 is now available in the Stable channel. You can download it here.

Known issues

• We strongly recommend against updating to Kotlin 1.2.70. Android Studio includes a version of Kotlin 1.2.61 that fixes a bug that can cause Android Studio to hang. Kotlin 1.2.71 and later also include this fix. Kotlin 1.2.70 does not include this fix.
• Typically, you do not need to manually specify which verison of Android Build Tools for Android Studio to use. However, to use the current build tools when using Android Gradle plugin 3.2.0 with renderscriptSupportModeEnabled set to true, you do need to include the following in each module's build.gradle file:

  android.buildToolsVersion "28.0.3"

  
  A future update of the Android Gradle plugin is intended to address this issue.
