The FileEntry.createWriter() method passes in a FileEntry object instead of a File object. As a result the FileWriter.length was not being set properly so when you do a writer.seek(writer.length) it would go to 0, so your next write would overwrite your file.
In order to fix this issue the FileEntry.createWriter() method now makes a call to FileEntry.file() to get the correct file size. The File object is now passed to the FileWriter constructor.
For Android version 2.2 or better the navigator.connection object already
exists. If this case we should immediately fire the onPhoneGapConnectionReady
event so we don't tie up the 'deviceready' event.
Adding a new object to navigator called 'connection'. Users can query the
connection object to find out what type of network, if any, the device is
connected to. The connection object will be updated each time there is a
connectivity change on the device.
Renaming supportedAudioFormats to supportedAudioModes.

Adding copywrite header to the Capture.java file.
Contact search was not working for unicode letters. The CallbackServer was changed so that it returned url encode strings. On the JavaScript side the PhoneGap callback handler decodes the returned string.
When you call window.openDatabase() on an Android 3.0 device you get and error something like this:
E/Web Console( 1791): SECURITY_ERR: DOM Exception 18: An attempt was made to break through the security policy of the user agent.
Simon worked with Pat for a bit and they think this is a WebKit or Android/WebKit interaction bug. In the meantime this fix determines if you are on Android 3.0 and uses Droid_DB if so.
(for such SQL as e.g. CREATE TABLE).
It is especially important when work with dome 3d party persistemce
libraries, like e.g. http://github.com/zefhemel/persistencejs which
passes these nulls.
An implementation of the W3C Media Capture spec:
http://dev.w3.org/2009/dap/camera/Overview-API
Capture operations are supported for audio, video, and images. Each
capture operation launches the native audio recorder, video recorder,
or camera application, respectively.
A standard from has no trailing whitespace after a content-disposition line like so: "Content-Disposition: form-data; name="data";" however when using the extra params of Android FileTransfer a space is added on the end "Content-Disposition: form-data; name="data"; "
This fix simply removes the trailing whitespace.
PhoneGap 0.9.4 replaced PluginManager.addService() with navigator.app.addService(). This is problematic with the older plugin as they are not being maintained. I'm adding in a PluginManger JavaScript class which will implement the addService method and call navigator.app.addService() method under the hood. This way we won't break old code.
FileTransfer returns FILE_NOT_FOUND_ERR on http 500 error
For some reason on Android if you do a getInputStream() on a HTTP Connection and the server returns a 500 error it will report a FileNotFoundException. Catching this exception and throwing an IOException so that we can report a more accurate error in JavaScript.

User can retrieve PERSISTENT and TEMPORARY file systems, list their
contents, and manipulate files and directories within them.
Modify existing FileWriter implementation
-----------------------------------------
- Change the way user creates a FileWriter. User must either pass a
File object to the FileWriter constructor, or use the
FileEntry.createWriter() method.
- Drop support for the 'filePath' and 'append' parameters in the
FileWriter constructor. The file path is determined from either the
File object passed to the FileWriter constructor, or the FileEntry
object used to create the FileWriter. To append to a file, use the
FileWriter object's seek method:
// writer is a FileWriter object
// seek to length of file to append
writer.seek(writer.length);
Replace FileMgr JavaScript APIs not specified in any File API spec
------------------------------------------------------------------
- Remove navigator.fileMgr.createDirectory(dirName) function. To
create a directory, use the DirectoryEntry.getDirectory() method,
which is part of the File API: Directories and System spec. Set
the Flags.create to 'true':
// directory is a DirectoryEntry object
directory.getDirectory(path, {create:true}, successCB, failCB);
- Remove navigator.fileMgr.getRootPaths() function. To retrieve the
root file systems, use the window.requestFileSystem() function,
which is part of the File API: Directories and System spec.
- Remove navigator.fileMgr.getFileProperties(fileName) function. To
get the properties of a file, use the FileEntry.file() method, which
is part of the File API: Directories and System spec.
- Remove navigator.fileMgr.deleteFile(fileName) function. To delete a
file, use the Entry.remove() method, which is part of the File API:
Directories and System spec.
- Remove navigator.fileMgr.deleteDirectory(dirName) function. To
delete a directory, use the Entry.remove() (if it is empty), or
DirectoryEntry.removeRecursively() methods, which are part of the
File API: Directories and System spec.
Clean up existing FileManager native code. Move some functionality to
file utility class.
