I have an old device I am configuring as a backup reader. The device is not upgrade-able to a more recent Android version. In CC Settings, one or more options are replaced with a statement that some options are not available because the device is running Gingerbread.
Thanks!

A quick scan of the code shows:
- Locking open the grouping drawer
- Changing the language
- Scroller management
- The auto-connect-at-time feature (new feature appearing this week)
- Home screen widgets (new feature appearing this week)
- Home screen shortcuts (new feature appearing this week)
- Certain "Home button" (icon in upper left corner) functions such as closing dialogs
- Certain page styles
- Display of full HTML in comments
- Correction of colors for e-ink devices
- Accurate display of hierarchical items in the grouping drawer
I may have missed a few.
FYI: Starting this year, if a new feature or an improvement can work even marginally better if we exclude Gingerbread then we do so. That is why the home screen widgets & shortcuts and the auto-connect option are not on Gingerbread. At some point we might choose to stop development for Gingerbread, in which case users will be "stuck" at the last Gingerbread-enabled release we made.
