---

This article provides a set of guidelines for migrating from Nutrient Android SDK 5.2 to Nutrient Android SDK 5.3. If you’re upgrading from a version earlier than 5.2, review the [Android 5.2 migration guide](https://www.nutrient.io/guides/android/migration-guides/pspdfkit-5-2-migration-guide.md) first.

## Updated dependencies

With Nutrient 5.3, we updated various dependencies of Nutrient:

- **Build system dependencies**
  - We updated all example projects and the internal Nutrient build system to Android Gradle plugin 3.3.1 and Gradle 5.2.1.

## Notable changes and deprecations

- Ink drawing is now automatically split into ink annotations based on the timing of strokes and the distance between drawn points. If you want to revert to the old behavior, refer to the [ink aggregation strategy](https://www.nutrient.io/guides/android/annotations/annotation-configuration.md#ink-aggregation-strategy) section of the annotation configuration guide for more details.
