> - NEWT KeyEvent (Bug 678, 641 and 688)
>   - enhancing keyCode, keyChar - adding keySymbol semantics
>   - deprecated: KEY_TYPED
>
> - NEWT/Android Enhancements
>   - more reliable rotation/scroll gesture detection,
>     i.e. 2-finger scroll -> NEWT's rotation event.
>
>   - demonstrating w/ GearsES2
>     - 2 finger pinch zoom, fast zoom w/ a 3rd finger
>     - 2 finger (close to each other) rotation/scroll
>     - 1 finger drag rotation
>     - keyboard visible now via 4 finger pressure > 0.7f

>   - Pause w/o finish(), i.e. Home or Menu

>   - Proper pixel format selection
