Yep great work.

I encourage anyone to play with: 
- Manifest Merger v2 (Replaces the mergeManifests parameter and the Manifest-update mojo)
- The publisher (2 mojos: publish apk & publish play listing)
- New lint (<lint><legacy>false</legacy></lint>) which is off by default as it does not lint libraries which in my opinion isn't a big deal anyway. (It's faster to run too)

Going forward I am hoping to also refactor the classes into the com.simpligility package... unless that is an issue for any downstream projects like M2e-Android or there are any other objections. Its not critical as a change.

Congrats on the release!

I see manifest update parameters changed. It seems now the default behavior is not to change the original manifest (like i wanted it in this thread).
Am i correct?

We don't directly access the android-maven-plugin classes so I don't think this would be an issue for us.
