RC1 Release Preparation about androidx

[mattleibow]

I think they are onto us! :)

We were doing a fair bit more testing and found a few bugs that needed fixing, several improvements to the build process as well as the actual APIs. Overall, things are betting in the migration, performance and the bindings.

As for the RC release, I believe it is going out the door today...
