@cammace Over to you.

Javadoc has been updated in #326.

The methodcount website I've been using for the badged doesn't seem to work any more. I'm thinking we should just remove and link to the method count dashboard proposed in #291.

All other task don't need to be done since this is a beta version and not final release.

How about we list beta.1 as the current stable version to start gathering early feedback on the new APIs and features? The issue queue is in pretty good shape and beta.1 should be pretty solid at this point.

Install instructions for this have been added to the /android-sdk page on the website under the beta tag. Once the final release occurs, we should look into better describing what each module is useful for. The readme looks to already have been updated, Closing.
