Support Library v26 comes with a lot of new features, specifically: fonts as resources and downloadable fonts, access to backwards compatible emoji support via the new EmojiCompat library, the ability to allow the text size of your TextView to expand or contract automatically to fill its layout, the option to implement animations driven by physics forces with the ‘spring and fling’ animations, improved parity with the Android framework, various form factors such as Wear and TV, and, finally, a library slimmed down by moving minSdk to 14 and dropping 1.4k methods.
