Android 2.2.1 changelog

Question

Is there a changelog available for Android 2.2.1?

Answer 1

There doesn't seem to be an official changelog, but here's a pastebin of the git commit log for Android "base" between the last version of 2.2 and the first (currently only) version of 2.2.1: http://pastebin.org/69434

I got this log by running the following command in my checkout of the android source

pretz@pretz-desktop:~/android-src/frameworks/base (froyo) $ git log android-2.2_r1.3..android-2.2.1_r1

Update: You can also find the git commit log for Android Base on their gitweb instance. Everything that comes above the "android-2.2_r1.3" tag is new in 2.2.1
