+ <li>Added {@link android.support.v4.app.ShareCompat}, which provides helper classes
+for sending and receiving content for social sharing applications, including new metadata for
+attributing shared data to the source app. This class also provides compatible integration with the
+new {@link android.widget.ShareActionProvider} in Android 4.0.</li>
+ <li>Added {@link android.support.v4.app.NavUtils} and {@link
+android.support.v4.app.TaskStackBuilder} to provide support for implementing the
+<a href="{@docRoot}design/index.html">Android Design</a> guidelines for navigation. These
+additions include a way to implement the action bar's <em>Up</em> button across versions.
+For an example implementation of this pattern, see the AppNavigation sample in
+({@code <em>&lt;sdk&gt;</em>/samples/<em>&lt;platform&gt;</em>/AppNavigation}).</li>
