Cordova Lib 9.0.0 Released!
By: Bryan Ellis
18 Mar 2019

We are happy to announce that we have just released cordova-lib 9.0.0!

Release Highlights

In addition to various improvements and fixes, this release has removed the --browserify flag.

As NodeJS 4.x support has been dropped by the NodeJS team on April 30th, 2018, we have raised the minimum required NodeJS version for this release to 6.x.

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