Announcement

BR sent me a link to the announcement stating that Mesmerize was getting Gingerbread and since documenting the Updating to Froyo was helpful to some, I'll do the same again for this update.

One thing that I did not keep on was the builds and I've just realized that I'm running EC10 and EE19 has been out, which may have fixed some of my bug issues. I need to keep up on that going forward.
