Release Highlights

cordova-plugin-file

For Android, a WebViewAssetLoader proxy handler has been added to support loading cdvfile URLs while using a custom scheme. It is recommended to use the toURL method to fetch the consumable URL. When the app is served from the http or https protocol, the toURL will return the appropriate consumable cdvfile URL. If the app is used from the file protocol, toURL will return the native file URL.

cordova-plugin-device

Electron native support has been added.

For Android, the sdkVersion property is now included on the window.device object, and returned within the getInfo response object.

Please report any issues you find at issues.cordova.io!
