Dan Morrill a20bb011c2 Preparing source.android.com for GB source drop. This includes a dead link to
the 2.3 CDD, and that needs to be filled in before launch, but the CDD isn't
done yet. The link will be filled in before this is pushed to live, when the
CDD is done. I want to get this submitted now so we can test & stage it.

page.title=Permitted Version Strings for Android 2.3
doc.type=compatibility
@jd:body
<p>As described in Section 3.2.2 of the <a
href="{@docRoot}compatibility/android-2.3-cdd.pdf">Android 2.3 Compatibility
Definition</a>, only certain strings are allowable for the system property
<code>android.os.Build.VERSION.RELEASE</code>. The reason for this is that
applications and web sites may rely on predictable values for this string, and
so that end users can easily and reliably identify the version of Android
running on their devices.</p>
<p>Because subsequent releases of the Android software may revise this string,
but not change any API behavior, such releases may not be accompanied by a new
Compatibility Definition Document. This page lists the versions that are
allowable by an Android 2.2-based system.</p>
<p>The value of <code>android.os.Build.VERSION.RELEASE</code> for Android 2.3
MUST be one of the following strings:</p>
<ul>
<li>2.3</li>
<li>2.3.1</li>
</ul>
