Google’s new Android Canary release channel replaces the Developer Preview Program
Google is changing the way it rolls out pre-release builds of Android to developers and early testers. Instead of signing up for a developer preview program to receive a handful of early releases of new versions of the operating system, users will be able to sign up for a new Canary release channel. This is similar to the way that Google offers Canary, Beta, and Stable channels for its Chrome web browser and ChromeOS operating system, and could make it easier for users to get early access to upcoming features more quickly.
