I am using Android Studio 1.3.1.

After going to Help->Check for updates it says Android Studio 1.5 is available in the stable channel. However I only have the option to Download this update which takes me to the latest updates pages in the canary channel:

http://tools.android.com/download/studio/canary/latest/

I thought I would be able to download a patch to update from 1.3.1 to 1.5 but it seems like the only option is to download the entire IDE - is this right ?

  • yup, might as well wait for 2.0.0 :-) – Blundell Nov 26 '15 at 21:28
  • I've installed the latest version now - 2.0 Preview and imported the settings from 1.3. It seems to be working ok :) I also un-installed the old version to save disk space. The only weird thing is it is unzipped to a totally different location on my hard disk as there was no install wizard in the zip. I presume it doesn't matter if it isn't installed in program files but would appreciate any thoughts on this? – GTownAndroid Dec 02 '15 at 20:47

That's right. Because you missed a lot of incremental release and 1.4, IDE doesn't offer delta update option. But don't worry, you will not lose any data after full 1.5 installation.

    Still it would be better to have an offline(downloadable) patch. Will this continue to be a case of beggars cannot be choosers? – Marka A Nov 27 '15 at 00:41
