Apache Cordova 3.6
By: Steve Gill
08 Sep 2014

We are happy to announce that Apache Cordova 3.6 has been released!

Most notable changes include:

  • Android and Amazon FireOS platforms include a new whitelist for controlling the launch of external applications via intents. Also support for gradle was added.
  • CB-6761 Android: Fix native->JS bridge ceasing to fire when page changes and online is set to false and the JS loads quickly
  • Windows8 platform is now called Windows to indicate the support for windows universal apps. The windows8/windows platform now supports building apps targeting Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1 in addition to Windows 8 which was originally supported (see documentation for new --win and --phone Command Line switches).
  • For targeting Windows Phone 8.0, the wp8 is still supported.
  • Support for Windows Universal Apps is being added.

To upgrade: (replace android with the platform you want to update):

npm install -g cordova
cd my_project
cordova platform update android

For non-CLI projects or for pre-3.0 projects, refer to the upgrade guides.

If this is 3.6.3, where are 3.6.0, 3.6.1, and 3.6.2?

While preparing the 3.6.0 release, the release candidates were published to a write-once repository. When it was discovered that the release candidates needed to be updated, we were unable to modify the write-once repository, so we were forced to bump the version number. This is why all the 3.6 cadence release items are labelled as "3.6.3". So 3.6.3 is the first release of the 3.6.x version. Apologies for the confusion.
