Android News: [Bug Watch] Notorious Lollipop Memory Leak That Caused App Crashes Finally Fixed After Over 1750 Stars In Issue Tracker

A memory leak that has plagued some Android 5.0 users since the first developer preview has finally been marked closed and 'FutureRelease' in the Android issue tracker today.
