Emulator 29.2.9 and AMD Hypervisor 1.2 to Canary

Emulator 29.2.9 and AMD Hypervisor 1.2 are now available in the Canary channel. Changes:
  • Snapshots (incl. Quickboot) can now be taken in -no-window mode and resumed with a window, and vice versa.
  • Fixed issue around crash service not being able to start in -no-window mode.
  • Fixed a division by 0 error in UI update.
  • libfontconfig is now bundled with the Linux emulator.
  • Quickboot snapshots now work again for ARM system images.
  • Added telnet console interface to query whether the emulator is running headless or not, via adb emu avd windowtype. Returns:
    • headless if running in -no-window mode
    • qtwindow otherwise
  • Fixed an issue where the emulator process would become a zombie when running on AMD CPUs with the AMD hypervisor and the emulator exited uncleanly. Background, more details
