We are happy to announce that cordova-common@4.0.0 was released in March 2020. This is one of the libraries used behind-the-scenes by nearly all of the Cordova tooling and provides utilities for dealing with things like config.xml parsing.

Release Highlights

The most notable changes in this major release are:

• GH-94 fix: PluginInfoProvider for scoped plugins
• GH-90 chore: drop node 6 and 8 support

As Node.js 6.x and 8.x support has been dropped, we have raised the minimum required Node.js version for this release to 10.x.
