Latest version of AIR to support Android 2.2?

On Adobe's website, I can find the info that AIR 3.0 supported Android 2.2, and I can find that AIR 3.7 and 3.8 only support 2.3 and up, but nowhere can I find which version was the last to support Android 2.2; every old version's release notes link to the most recent system requirements.
I need to support an Android 2.2 device which I don't have available for testing, and AIR 3.7 apparently crashes it instantly (NOOK Color.) Does anyone know the most recent version I can safely use on this device? (captive runtime, of course)

You can use the way back machine to look at old versions of a web page:

http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.adobe.com/products/air/tech-specs.html

On March 18th, 2.2 was supported, but on April 20th it was changed to 2.3. So, that makes it seem likely that AIR 3.6 was ok on Android 2.2, and AIR 3.7 needed Android 2.3.

Thanks a bunch. I should have thought of that, though I feel like Adobe should just start paying closer attention to the info they put on their website, rather than requiring developers to find archived versions of pages.

I'll update here if I find any issues, otherwise AIR 3.6 on Android 2.2 is good to go.
