Looks like I am confused by release content of androidx.test before. Every release is tagged with name androidx-test-*, but its release is bound with multiple libraries, including Espresso. The stable release of androidx.test will contain Espresso name at its release name, likes "AndroidX Test 1.4.0/Espresso 3.4.0"(https://github.com/android/android-test/releases/tag/androidx-test-1.4.0). But latest alpha release doesn't contains it, likes "AndroidX Test Sept 28 2021"(https://github.com/android/android-test/releases/tag/androidx-test-09_28_2021). Does it mean there is no Espresso updates? When I said related PR was merged in specific androidx.test release tag, and this version and later version will fix this problem. But other users may think I am saying androidx.test core related libraries.

Sorry for confusion.

You are correct that historically typically we released all the androidx.test libraries that are managed in android-test github all at once under a title like AndroidX Test 1.4.0/Espresso 3.4.0. But we received complaints about that practice.

Going forward each androidx.test library may be released independently, so we haven't been using github releases to document and tag them the last couple of releases. Eg the last release only included monitor, services and orchestrator. Instead the changes have only been documented at https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/versions
I should add documentation to the github project to make that clear.

Thanks for explaining it. If there is a section on GitHub README.md, users can get more knowledge about how to select androidx.test dependencies.

BTW, there is another thing about androidx.test doc: https://android.github.io/android-test/contribute/index.html is too old. I don't find where is the doc source code, so I don't send PR to update it. If need, I can fire an issue at androidx.test repository.
