The extremely popular root managing app for Android — SuperSU — today received an update to v2.13 that brings with it support for Android L, Android TV, general code cleanup, bug-fixes and more. 

Chainfire has done a “fair amount of work” to make sure that the AOSP flavor of Android L is compatible with this release of SuperSU. Nevertheless, until and unless Google rolls out the retail version of Android L, it is impossible to say whether this version of SuperSU will work with it or not.

What Chainfire, however, is sure of is the fact that the OTA survival feature of SuperSU will not work with the Android L OTA update for existing devices, at least initially.

Chainfire is now also selling SuperSU on Amazon’s app store, but the app will always be behind Play Store’s version there because of Amazon’s extremely long update approval process. Lastly, Chainfire has also updated CF-Auto-Root to prepare it for the impending Android L release.

The gigantic and extremely technical changelog of the update is below:
