New Widgets,





Other features, came with the 4.4 new Android Run Time (ART) instead of Dalvik.
ART is optional now in the 4.4. It's possitive effects battery life and performance.

Features;
Ahead-of-Time (AOT) compilation
Improved garbage collection (GC)
Improved debugging support
Most Android apps should just work without change under ART. However, some techniques that work on Dalvik do not work on ART. For information about the most important issues, see Verifying App Behavior on the Android Runtime (ART). Pay particular attention if:

Your app uses Java Native Interface (JNI) to run C/C++ code.
You use development tools that generate non-standard code (such as some obfuscators).
You use techniques that are incompatible with compacting garbage collection. (ART does not currently implement compacting GC, but compacting GC is under development in the Android Open-Source Project.)
