LoginManager and AccessToken - These new classes perform Facebook Login. For more information, see Facebook Login for Android.
AccessTokenTracker - This new class receives notifications of access token changes. This includes when a token gets updated, or when a different user logs in. See Facebook Login for Android, Track Access Tokens.
Profile and ProfileTracker Are new classes to get notifications of profile changes, such as when a different person logs in to your app. See Facebook Login for Android, Track Current Profile.

Sharing:

ShareApi class to help sharing through the Graph API.

Dialogs:

Strongly typed dialog classes - Are added for App Invites, App Group creation, App Group joins, Game Requests, Messages and Share. Each *Dialog class has an associated *Content class with a Builder so you can easily set parameters.

Modified

Deprecated - Any classes or methods marked as @deprecated in 3.x have been removed. Some feature specific classes have been moved into their own packages such as com.facebook.login and com.facebook.share.
Graph API - GraphObject, OpenGraphObject and OpenGraphAction classes have been removed in favor of using JSON objects directly. Apps that use OG objects/actions for sharing can still use the helper methods in the ShareOpenGraphObject and ShareOpenGraphAction classes to build an OG object/action. This allows developers to use ProGuard on their entire project.
UiLifecycleHelper removed - This is removed and the various onActivityResult or handleOnActivityResult calls for passing results for login or the dialogs are now in the CallbackManager class.
LoginFragment - Has been removed.
Picker fragments - Have been removed.

Sharing:

Sharing Classes - Many types for Sharing have been modified. See the Sharing on Android.
Dialog Changes - All *Dialog classes are converted to use FacebookCallback and CallbackManager.
Automatic Web Fallback - ShareDialog and AppInviteDialog automatically fall back to using a web dialog if the Facebook app is not present on device. See Sharing on Android , Built-In Share Fallbacks.

AccessToken now has userId.
Replacement Classes - Session and UserSettingsFragment have been removed and replaced by the LoginManager and AccessToken classes. LoginActivity is replaced by FacebookActivity.
