BREAKING: Finally Android Going To Remove Dalvik And Set ART As Default In Next Major Version Of Android


Since we saw ART alongside the release of Android 4.4 KitKat, we all knew that not too long, ART will be replacing the insufficient Dalvik runtime Compiler. Well, this time is now upon us, as commits made last night to the AOSP master branch show Dalvik getting the axe and ART being set as the default.
 
The changes in questions are in the form of merged commits 98553 and 98618. The former is responsible for the removal of Dalvik from the AOSP master branch, and latter switches the default runtime compiler to ART



The changes can be seen below:

Dalvik is dead, long live Dalvik! DO NOT MERGE
croot
cd libcore
repo start dalvik-is-dead-long-live-dalvik .
repo sync -c .
git rm -r libdvm
git add JavaLibrary.mk (after removing libdvm references, adding
explict core-libart references)
git add Docs.mk (after replacing references to libdvm with libart)
git add benchmarks/Android.mk (after adding explict core-libart
references)
git add Android.mk (after removing dalvik-host target)
git commit -a -m ‘Dalvik is dead, long live Dalvik! DO NOT MERGE’

Switch from core to core-libart

Well guys, now its very much clear that merges speak for themselves. Dalvik is dead.
