If you want to use proguard you need to protect the AUTHORITY constant from being inlined. You must use this in your proguard config:

-keepclassmembers class com.novoda.downloadmanager.Authority {
    static final java.lang.String AUTHORITY;
}

You can change the maximum number of concurrent downloads in your application by adding a the following meta-data element into your AndroidManifest.xml:

<meta-data
  android:name="com.novoda.downloadmanager.MaxConcurrentDownloads"
  android:value="3" />

where here 3 represents the maximum number of concurrent downloads.

By default the downloads database will be stored in your application data in a file named 'downloads.db'. Power users can override this by specifying a value for com.novoda.downloadmanager.DatabaseFilename in the metadata within the manifest.

<manifest
  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  package="com.myorg.myapp" >

  <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

  <application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
    .
    .
    .
    <meta-data
      android:name="com.novoda.downloadmanager.DatabaseFilename"
      android:value="my_database.db" />
  </application>

</manifest>

1. Bump the release version in library/build.gradle (you can do this in master!)

• Create a Github release & tag - document the changes & the corresponding PRs in the release
• Kick off a build on the CI
• Update the RELEASE-NOTES.md
• Update the README.md to point to the new version
