DONUT
September 2009: Android 1.6.
Applications targeting this or a later release will get these
new changes in behavior:
- They must explicitly request the
WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission to be
able to modify the contents of the SD card. (Apps targeting
earlier versions will always request the permission.)
- They must explicitly request the
READ_PHONE_STATE permission to be
able to be able to retrieve phone state info. (Apps targeting
earlier versions will always request the permission.)
- They are assumed to support different screen densities and
sizes. (Apps targeting earlier versions are assumed to only support
medium density normal size screens unless otherwise indicated).
They can still explicitly specify screen support either way with the
supports-screens manifest tag.

ECLAIR
November 2009: Android 2.0
Applications targeting this or a later release will get these
new changes in behavior:
- The
Service.onStartCommand function will return the new
START_STICKY behavior instead of the
old compatibility START_STICKY_COMPATIBILITY.
- The
Activity class will now execute back
key presses on the key up instead of key down, to be able to detect
canceled presses from virtual keys.
- The
TabWidget class will use a new color scheme
for tabs. In the new scheme, the foreground tab has a medium gray background
the background tabs have a dark gray background.

HONEYCOMB
Newest version of Android, version 3.0.
Applications targeting this or a later release will get these
new changes in behavior:
- The default theme for applications is now dark holographic:
Theme_Holo.
- The activity lifecycle has changed slightly as per
Activity.
- When an application requires a permission to access one of
its components (activity, receiver, service, provider), this
permission is no longer enforced when the application wants to
access its own component. This means it can require a permission
on a component that it does not itself hold and still access that
component.
