Android 6.0 "Marshmallow":
Released date(GA): oct 5,2015
Features:
Android Marshmallow introduces a redesigned application permission model. there are now only eight permission categories, and applications are no longer automatically granted all of their specified permissions at installation time.
An opt-in system is now used, in which users are prompted to grant or deny individual permissions (such as the ability to access the camera or microphone) to an application when they are needed for the first time.
Marshmallow introduces a new power management scheme known as "Doze"; when running on battery power, a device will enter a low-power state if it is inactive and not being physically handled. In this state, network connectivity and background processing is restricted, and only "high-priority" notifications are processed.
Android Marshmallow provides native support for fingerprint recognition on supported devices via a standard API, allowing third-party applications to implement fingerprint-based authentication. Fingerprints can be used for unlocking devices and authenticate.
