Android L has been in beta for some time now and Google developers have just confirmed that the current Developer Preview which has many bugs and issues won’t receive any updates until final release. Android L is currently available on the Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 (guide on How to install it on the Nexus 4 can be found here and on the Nexus 7 (2012) edition here) will become available on supported devices later this year.
