  • cordova-plugin-compat: 1.0.0

This release includes a new plugin named cordova-plugin-compat. cordova-plugin-compat allows backwards compatibility for plugins that had to upgrade to the new permissions model for cordova-android@5+. Plugin authors can use and depend on cordova-plugin-compat to continue to support older versions (<5) of cordova-android. Checkout the cordova-plugin-compat repo for more information. Previously, we were packaging copies of PermissionHelper.java with the plugins that needed the permission updates, but have now decided that it would be better to store PermissionHelper.java in cordova-plugin-compat.

Plugin authors can also use the new engines element to specify what versions of cordova-android your plugin supports. Read more about it in our plugin fetching blog post.

You can update any plugin by removing it, and then re-adding it.

E.g. To update your camera plugin:

cordova plugin rm cordova-plugin-camera --save
cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-camera@latest --save

Changes include:
