public static @interface ApiStatus.AvailableSince
Indicates that the annotated element firstly appeared in the specified version of the library, so the code using that element won't be compatible with older versions of the library. This information may be used by IDEs and static analysis tools. This annotation can be used instead of '@since' Javadoc tag if it's needed to keep that information in *.class files or if you need to generate them automatically.
